Thaddy,
What I ended up doing is just using the format command to put the large text right in the SQL statement, which does not have the 255 char limit in the IDE property editor.
I did build my code from the delphi examples using the stringToComponent function.
object zquery: TZSQLProcessor
Params = <
item
DataType = ftString
Name = 'tablename'
ParamType = ptUnknown
Value = 'ssh_keys' <--------------- Error is raised when value field of params is greater than 255
end
I will have to research and see if it's a Lazarus limitation or if the Zeos component could be modified to have the value field be a different type, I guess it must be defined as a record with a short string for the GUI component editor?
It seems to take any size value after the component is created via setting it in code rather than the IDE property editor.
