TSQDataSet........

Hi,

i'm writing an CGI-App with a databaselink. There is TSQLConnection 
and a TSQLDataset in my Webmodule. I need read-only access to that 
MySQL-DB, so i'm using an unidrectional Dataset (much faster, that 
DataSet isn't caching all the result of a query). When i want to 
read the result of my query, I'm using that standard 
"while-SQL1.eof=false-<DO-SOMETHING>-SQL1.Next-end;"-algorithm. 
Everythings works fine, until the field i want to read conatins an 
empty string (''). That causes the program to crash. When i want to 
get the value of the field, i'm using something like this:

.....
var s:string;
.....
.....
  s:=SQL1.fieldbyname('author').asstring;// <-- That causes the 
crash (segmentation fault (SIGDEV(11))
.....


I tried to "watch" for empty strings in that field, but everything 
that "touches" the value of the field will crash the app.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your response,

Henock
