Has any one experienced this?

When using a TMemoField on an ODBC data source (Sql Sybase
Anywhere Local database server and Oracle 7.2 TCP/IP to HPUX
machine) from delphi developer, the first two
characters of the varchar(2000) fields are dropped off.  This is
connecting via a TTable object.  If I put a unique index on the
primary key the problem goes away.  The index does not help when I
access the field in a join from a TQuery object.
Where can I get a bug list?

To Reproduce:

Create a table in an ODBC datasource (SSA or oracle).  

Create table test_table
(
pid integer,
the_problem_col varchar(2000)
)  

insert values.
Using Delphi developer and the SSA Odbc or OpenLink lite oracle
drivers setup a TTABLE object.
Create a form with a TDBMemo field.  Observe that the first two chars
of each row in the varchar2000 columns are missing.  Add a UNIQUE index
on the
primary key.  The problem goes away (you may have to reload your
program).

Now join the table with a second table using a TQuery.  The problem
returns.

Note that this behavior is also exhibited by the database explorer.  
at least in the case of the TTable (non-join) query.

I can recreate the bug and it has occured on more than one system and
with more than
one target database and ODBC driver.

This is solved in the Delphi 2.01 update.
We had the same problem with Delphi 2 C/S +ODBC + MS-SQlServer.
Get the update and it'll work.
