Hi,

I am using Delphi 6 Ent. and Firebird 1.0.0.338.

I have created a table PLANCONORC as:

CREATE TABLE PlanConOrc
(
NumReg SMALLINT NOT NULL,
Nivel VARCHAR(8) NOT NULL, <==Problem with this field
Code VARCHAR(7) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
Conta VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
Tipo VARCHAR(2),
PRIMARY KEY (NumReg)
);

I am using a datamodule with:

1 ClientDataset
1 DatasetProvider
1 IBQuery
1 IBTransaction
1 IBDatabase

When I open the Collection Editor of the ClientDataset and Add All
Fields there is a problem with the Nivel (TStringField) field.

Nivel field is a VARCHAR(8) type and not a Char type.

In the Collection Editor when I select the Nivel field the following
properties are shown as:

FixedChar = True (This specifies that Nivel field is a Char Type and
Not a VARCHAR type)

Size = 1 (NOT 8)

The other varchar fields of the table PLANCONORC: Code, Conta, Tipo
are fine.

Why is it hapenning with the Nivel field?

When I try to assign a 8 character string to Nivel the folowing error
occurs: Field size mismatch.

Could anyone help me solve this problem?

Thank you all.

Marcelo.
