Re: question on SDK patch

Do you have a maintenance contract for your database engine? I would guess you get this problem when you run your apps rather than develop the apps. If so then you have support for I-Connect, the runtime version of Client SDK. So if you do have support for the database engine I would request the fix for the same problem but with the I-Connect product rather than the CSDK product. if you are not prepared to pay for the SDK support it may be a case of develop with the buggy product and run with the fix.
