[fpc-devel] [FPC] SQLdb: bug added with a bugfix port (FPC 2.2.0 + fixes)

[Alvise Nicoletti]

Hi...

I wrote some mails to Joost van der Sluis notifying that there is a 
strange bug in FPC 2.2.1 ( 
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_2 ) regarding SQLdb.

When I select DECIMAL colums with mysql, I get a "Invalid field size" 
exception even if I don't use it (I don't fetcìh them with FieldByName).
Joost said me that the cause is "a patch in r2.3.1 which shoudn't be 
merged to fpc 2.1.1. but someone did".
After that I didn't speak with him anymore.

My question is... how can I fix that?

I spent a lot of time to pass from 2.0.4.... to 2.2.0... and from 
2.2.0... to 2.2.1. (maybe now that I have understand what to do I will 
do it faster).
However, I wouln'd like to pass to 2.3.x to to fix this and find new 
bugs... I have to use a stable version, cause every time I update to the 
last version I find new problems.
That "stable version + bugfixes" is exactly what I need, and I'm happy 
that you did it.

But can someone revert that patch?

Thank you in advance,
Alvise Nicoletti

p.s. I'm having that problem on AMD64.
