<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi everyone,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I haven't found anything in the archives on this topic, so here is my question:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have a connect to an informix database using a "Z ODBC Database Connection".</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The table has a char[1000] column. When I try to insert values larger than 256</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Bytes I get this error "A quoted string exceeds 256 bytes".</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Using mxODBC (Python Product) I can avoid this problem by using a '?' and passing</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the String as a Parameter.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Is there a way to do this in Zope ?</FONT>
</P>
