Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] [Suspected Spam] Re: Firebird ODBC: x64data lengthcompatibility

[Engineering <eng...@as...>]

   I tried to attach the patch, however for some reason the "attach" did
not work (was using Google Chrome at the time, I think). I have attached
the patch here, however with some reservations:
  - this patch just makes SQL_C_BIT treatment as a TinyInt for output.
This may work in Windows, because of BOOL == int, however I do not know
if this is the general case. May be a better idea to have BOOL == char
(and at least on little-endian systems will not really care).
  - the change would assume that only 1 or 0 can be inside the
selection, however it will happily transfer 2,3,4 and so on (which is
hardly a BIT). I did consider writing a "tinyIntAsBit" which would make
0 == 0 and non-zero == 1, however for our internal functions we did not
need it so I ended up with this fairly dirty hack.

Regards,
Andrei

Myself and other guys from our lab (e.g. Roman Simakov) I know read odbc

devel mailing list regularly. However if everyone is busy, some messages

may be left unprocessed.
If an item is posted to the tracker only it will get some attention for 
sure, but it is checked less frequently.

Re SQL_BIT, I may apply this patch to HEAD. But could you please attach 
patch file to an issue instead of placing it inline as comments - it 
does not apply cleanly at this moment.
