Delphi 2010 MySQL Update through ClientDataSet Failing

I am using Delphi 2010 and connecting to a MySQL database using dbexpress. The connection works 100% and I am retrieving my data. The problem comes when I am trying to update data through a dbGrid. I am running through all the entries in the table performing checks on them. When calling the ApplyUpdates method, I was getting "Record not found or changed by another user".

Changing the updateMode on the DataSetProvider to upWhereKeyOnly, I am now in the situation where I am receiving "Unable to find record, no key specified". I have tried adding

BasysClientDataSet.FieldByName('idPolicy').ProviderFlags := [pfInUpdate, pfInWhere, pfInKey];

thi开发者_运维问答s to the code, but I am getting the same error. I have tried adding the ProviderFlags to the SQLQuery but I am getting no such field "idPolicy"

Try to set provider flag pfInKey for all primary key columns just as you did but not in client dataset but source dataset. This used to help me even when I don't understand what the hell are fields doing in client dataset when db express ignores these settings? I would say its a bug.

Try setting the ResolveToDataSet property of the DataSetProvider component to True.

try creating this procedure and using it in the provider BeforeUpdateRecord event.

procedure SetOriginFlags(Source, Dest: TCustomClientDataSet);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i := 0 to Source.FieldCount - 1 do
  begin
    if Dest.FindField(Source.Fields[i].FieldName) <> nil then
    begin
      Dest.FindField(Source.Fields[i].FieldName).ProviderFlags :=
        Source.Fields[i].ProviderFlags;
      if Dest.FindField(Source.Fields[i].FieldName).ProviderFlags <> [pfHidden] then
        Dest.FindField(Source.Fields[i].FieldName).Origin :=
          Source.Fields[i].FieldName;
    end;
  end;
end;
