OleDbDataReader problem with Sybase

    Hi
    I'm using OleDbDataReader in Visual Basic to read from a Sybase database.

    A very strange thing is happening which is that it will only read a maximum 200 characters from a field in the database. Anything less is ok, but over 200 will cause it to give a value from a previous field...

    Has anybody seen this before? Is there a maximum number of characters defined for OleDbDataReader ? I'm a newbie to VB.NET so completely lost... :confused:

    Hi this turned out to be a bug in the sybase driver itself.. it was so bad that I thought "nah it can't be the driver must be a mistake I'm making" :D
