It seems so if you don't define the field size in the TSdfDataset.Schema. 
Unlike tmsebufdataset, TSdfDataset stores the data in a record with fixed 
size which can't be changed after open. Is it possible to define the field 
size in the first data row? I never used TSdfDataset, I made the integration 
into MSEgui with tmsesdfdataset only so my knowledge about TSdfDataset is 
limited.
Is Sqlite3 no option for you? MSEgui and FPC sqldb both have a DB-connection 
component for SQLite3.
