Querying ODBC SQL Server

Question

Question

Richard Housham · Jul 16, 2018

Hi I've got a service setup to query a sql server via ODBC.

I've got all the parameters etc setup and everything is ok

My Query is

SELECT TOP 1
CI.ClientID,
Gender,
DateOfBirth,
MaritalStatus AS MartialStatusCode,
(SELECT CodeDescription FROM GenMaritalStatus WHERE Code = MaritalStatus) AS Martial,
Ethnicity AS EnthnicityCode,
(SELECT CodeDescription FROM GenEthnicity WHERE Code = Ethnicity) AS Ethnicity,
Nationality AS NationalityCode,
(SELECT CodeDescription FROM GenNationality WHERE Code = Nationality) AS Nationality,
DateOfDeath,
CN.Surname AS Surname,
ISNULL (CN.GivenName1, '')
+ ISNULL( CN.GivenName2, '')
+ ISNULL(CN.GivenName3, '')
+ ISNULL( CN.GivenName4, '')
+ ISNULL(CN.GivenName5, '') AS Forename,
ISNULL(CN.Prefix, '' ) AS Title,
LastUpdated
FROM [ClientIndex] CI
INNER JOIN ClientName CN ON CI.ClientID = CN.ClientID WHERE LastUpdated > ?
ORDER BY LastUpdated

If I have my parameter as

Do ..Adapter.SetPersistentValue(..%ConfigName,"LastModified","20080915")

This works.

But if I add in the time part like this.

Do ..Adapter.SetPersistentValue(..%ConfigName,"LastModified","20080915 10:00:00")

I get
ERROR #6022: Gateway failed: Execute. + ERROR <Ens>ErrGeneral: SQLState: (22001) NativeError: [0] Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]String data, right truncation

I've tried lots of different date/time formats but nothing seems to work.

I've got a odbc sql browser and that works with this date format (yyyymmdd HH:ii:ss)

So what gives here?

Thanks

Richard

Your SetPersistentValue calls refer to LastModified, but your query refers to LastUpdated. Is this a typo in your post?

If you use Portal (Explorer, SQL) to run a query that reports LastUpdated values, what do they look like? More technically, what datatype are they?

Could you use the SQL Gateway feature to make your tables accessible there?

what about using real ODBC datetime format "2008-09-15 10:00:00" ?

Hi yeah, I could have them all the same name. But not sure if it'll make any difference.
(I'll give it a go though).

With regards data type LastUpdated is a datetime in SQL Server 2008 .

I've tried to get a more updated driver see if that would help (no). I also read some stuff here on C and odbc issues.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/native-client-...

If I remember correctly ensemble/healthshare has a C 'core' does it not?

Huh, renamed the variables and seems a bit more compliant/working.
Need to test it out but might have a winner!

Nope my mistake, messed up my variables when renaming. Got them all ok now and still errors.

It's an odbc connection so it's not in the explorer > SQL

Had a look, almost got it but then got this.

[SQLCODE: <-226>:<Gateway query Execute() failed>]

[%msg: <Connection 'xxxxx': Execute: SQLState: (22018) NativeError: [0] Message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]Invalid character value for cast specification >]

Yeah, it's not happy.

I've thrown this one to WRC who are looking at it.

Using this format ( "2008-09-15 10:00:00" ) solved my issues with calling a stored procedure using ..Adapter.ExecuteProcedure

Hi Martin !

I am having the same problem with ODBC and SQL Server. Can you please show me an example of your ExecuteProcedure syntax?

For example :

Do you use ..Adapter.ExecuteProcedure ( PROCEDURE_NAME '2022-01-01 00:00:00', '2022-01-10 23:59:00') syntax ? I mean, do you ' as separators?

Thanks in advance...
