FPC >=3.2

For the ftFmtMemo field type, what is the Codepage supposed to be ? Is
it defined anywhere ?

No conversion seems to take place, is it supposed to be behave like an
non-localized ftMemo ?

I've never encountered this field type. Which database components
create this filed type for which SQL data type (sqlDB does not create
this filed type for none SQL Connection)

Thanks for the reply.

I figured out that FlashFiler 2 defines it as a "Rich edit memo
field". I'll just skip handling this field type.

Might be a leftover from old BDE times. If memory serves the Paradox
table format had such a field type called 'formatted memo'.

Hi!

It is part of the definition of the Borland Database Engine (BDE) from
Delphi times.

It was the Interface to dBase/Paradox/MsAccess/FoxPro etc.

All field definitions at Embarcadero:
