This ECF also fixed a problem for some of the CTS tests, but left one in particular outstanding which we're working with the CTS group on. Once that's resolved, we'll provide the fix in a build with the 5MB size limitation, suitable for shipping.

Best regards,
Alec

Verified that this patch fixes the problem. When would an official build with this fix be available ?

Thanks,

We've built an ECF for you with the fix for bug 2758 (an NPE is thrown by getCharacterStream when a null value is encountered in a CLOB column.)

The ECF build is available at http://www.pointbase.com/support/updates-d.html with the password gearbox.

Can you please let us know if you see this fixing bug 2758.

Best regards,
Alec Response (Alec) 05/05/2003 10:54 AM Hi Mitesh,

Thanks for the test case with this - it reproduces as you've described and I've logged this as bug 2758.

I'll get back to you asap with details regarding a fix. What is your release date, and how soon before the release date do you need to have it?

Best regards,
Alec
PointBase Technical Support
