Try this:

1. Use the Delphi fields editor to instantiate the field object.
2. Click the SQL Editor.. property in the property editor - this will
display a stripped-down version of the fields editor for the InternalDataset.
3. Go to the ColumnAttributes page, click the Prepare button and select
the field from the column list.
4. Set the REQUIRED attribute to False.
