Fields larger than 300kB give me problems if I use 2.1.6 and I can't install other versions

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

until now I was a very happy user of pyODBC,
using winXP,  Python 2.6,  pyODBC 2.1.6.  to connect to several kinds of SQL databases.

But now I've fields of 300kB and more and I get an error inserting these large fields, and 2.1.6 can't handle fields larger than

So I decided to update pyODBC, but without luke:

I tried 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.6, both the zip-file and the executable, no succes
I tried easy_install, which finds 3.0.6, again no succes.

the latest version that seems to work is 2.1.8. which seems to handle fieldsupto 400kB

I asked a friend (who has winXP, python 2.7) and he was able to install all the versions.

As I'm sticked to Python 2.6 for the moment,
please can someone give me a good source or installation ?

cheers,
Stef

Maybe my patch and binaries will be of use to you and/or your friend:
