Hi at all,
i have a problem with a table of a DB Firebird. Only with this table,
when i search to read it, i have this error:

Code: [Select]unknown field type: LIMITEINFERIORE.


The field LIMITEINFERIORE is declared on the DB as "Decimal(16,5)"

It's a bug?

Thanks, Mario

With Lazarus 0.9.26.3 I have the same error.

I report the error in the bugtracker

The error explains it all: a decimal(16,5) type, what kind of TField
is that? It's not a TCurrency/TBCD, because they have a maximum of 4
decimals. And it's not a float either...

In fact it should be a tfmtbcd field, but that's not implemented yet.
But the ftmbcd-type is implemented now, so maybe you can try to write
a patch for this?

Just look at packages/fcl-db/src/base/fields.inc...
