Hello guys,
Apparently I needed to use a MSSQL server to fetch some data and again I discovered that is impossible with XOJO, the Database Exception is simply throws error and a link to a bug that does not exist anymore . Checking on the forum for similar issues I get this DB Error on SQLSelect - Error retrieving large column values , so in 2021 still we cannot use xojo on Windows with the windows products ?
Is there any workaround at the current date ?
Thanks.
So can someone from @XOJO explain what “Error retrieving large column values due to a bug in the SQL Native Client (https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/467300/problem-with-varchar-max-via-sql-native-client).” and what can be done, as eventually that plugin supposed to work, what Large Column Values means ? I tried to fetch 1 record, then 1 record and 1 column, what is the limit for that ? or we cannot use it at all ? , I mean it was nice of you to mention the bug on Microsoft but that is more an excuse than a functional product, or at least this is how I see it.
On Examples in XOJO there is nothing mentioning that or a workaround for it. so why we still have that driver ? just to be there ?
Thanks
We can recommend our MBS Xojo SQL Plugin as an alternative way to connect to MS SQL Server.

Hi Christian,
If that means not installing 40 + plugins to have that then we will consider that option.
Thanks.
