Mike Segel <mikey@segel.NOSPAM-.KING.OF.MYDOMAIN.-NOSPAM.com> offerred: +Uhm, +I just built an sqlda struct based on the info stored in the sys tables. +That way you can build dynamic query structures on the fly. Problem is, that doesn't always work. For example, syscolumns.collength is not simply the length of the data for all columns, e.g. datetimes have the max and min qualifiers mapped into the value.
