MyODBC recognize all BLOB fields as FIELD_TYPE_BLOB ?

[qhe]

Dear All:

I'm using MyODBC 3.51.06 and MySQL 4.0.18.

My table has a mediumblob field, but I can't update/insert data larger than
64K. The test application is created by VC6 appwizard, here is the test
code:

m_pSet->GetODBCFieldIn fo(2, fieldinfo);
n = fieldinfo.m_nPr ecision;

No matter field is blob, mediumblob or longblob, the m_nPrecision is always
65535. I traced into the myodbc source, in this piece of code (utility.c):
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int unireg_to_sql_d atatype(STMT FAR *stmt, MYSQL_FIELD *field, char *buff,
ulong *transfer_lengt h, ulong *precision,
ulong *display_size)
{
char *pos;
if (stmt->dbc->flag & (FLAG_FIELD_LEN GTH | FLAG_SAFE))
*transfer_lengt h= *precision= *display_size= max(field->length,
field->max_length);
else
*transfer_lengt h= *precision= *display_size= field->max_length;

switch(field->type) {

...

case FIELD_TYPE_BLOB :
if (buff)
strmov(buff,(fi eld->flags & BINARY_FLAG) ? "blob" : "text");
if (stmt->dbc->flag & (FLAG_FIELD_LEN GTH | FLAG_SAFE))
*transfer_lengt h= *precision= *display_size= 65535;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
the field->type is FIELD_TYPE_BLOB for blob,mediumblob and longblob.
This leads to an buffer length error, I can't feed longer data into the
field, and sometimes there gives memory alloction error.

Is this a MyODBC bug?

TIA
