Hi Mariano, here is a small test to reproduce the problem.

I think column datatype should not be stored in the resultset in the case of sqlite. Other databases don't behave this way (as far as I can remember), so, overriding moveNext for sqlite would probably be fine. So yes. Something is needed for Sqlite so that the column type and friends are fetched for every raw or at least when there is an unknown. At least there is a DBXSqlitePlatform that let you easily overwrite stuff ;) Cheers Alain "Mariano Martinez Peck" <marianopeck@gmail.com> a écrit dans le message de news: CAA+-=mWHq6X9JGz-5qTyb3z5ZqdUwMwBV06B5AEZ=ivZVE4u4g-JsoAwUIsXosN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org... And here: http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/C_API/Usage I can read: " Processing results After fetching a row, all values of this row are available for further processing, as well as their name, length and type - but the name and the type of a column won't change. Also the number of columns returned by odbx_column_count() is fixed for the whole result. int i; for( i = 0; i < odbx_column_count( result ); i++ ) { fprintf( stdout, "Name: %s\n", odbx_column_name( result, i ) ); fprintf( stdout, "Type: %d\n", odbx_column_type( result, i ) ); fprintf( stdout, "Length: %d\n", odbx_field_length( result, i ) ); fprintf( stdout, "Value: %s\n", odbx_field_value( result, i ) ); } Besides odbx_column_type() these functions don't return error codes. Instead, they return zero (odbx_field_length()) or NULL (odbx_column_name() and odbx_field_length()), but you shouldn't check for those because these values are also valid return values. All numbers are returned as strings from the database regardless if they are integers or floats. If you want to do arithmetic operations, you have to convert them to their machine dependent binary representation first.

For sqlite, squeakdbx should call the sqlite api to retrieve column datatype for each row and each colum while fetching data. Hi Alain. I am reading this: http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/C_API/odbx_column_type From SqueakDBX, we send odbx_column_type ONCE PER RESULTSET. You can see this in #processNextResultSet:querySettings: that for every resultset it sends #processResultWithRows:resultHandle:querySettings: Now.... should we send odbx_column_type and friends ONCE PER RAW? As far as I can see, in other databases we don't need to do that. But maybe we are wrong and you are right. Norbert? Anyway, if you want to give it a try to Sqlite, what about overwrite #moveNext: in SqlitePlatform and do something to set the new type for every raw. From what I can see, if the type depends on each raw and it should be asked for every raw, then a design change is needed so that we can move the description from the REsultSet to the Raw :) But it may have implications I don't know. Perhaps squeakDbx could get only true object values (are rawValues really needed) ?. Well, it depends on the user needs. Now, a key point is what GLORP should use. Or perhaps another solution would be to call the sqlite api if the stored datatype is UNKNOWN in column description ... (only for sqlite, but sounds like a bad trick) sounds like a hask, but if it works it is at least a valid workaround. I am perplexed ... Any idea is welcome Cheers Alain "Mariano Martinez Peck" <marianopeck@gmail.com> a écrit dans le message de news: CAA+-=mW69g-MP3fQutJ9vVhAjRoP9eZdv5Z0Zkv9junYZeTyKw-JsoAwUIsXosN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org...

Yes, you are using SqueakDBX ;) you will move soon to DBXTalk :) II use DBXTestCase for my test with the code I send in my email (is it ok for you?), but I will have alook at DBXQueryTest too. No problem to put it in the test suite - it makes me remember that I still didn't send my license agreement to Stephane but I will do it asap...
