(SQL Express 2005). I am accessing the database using BDE/SQL links (ADO is not an option at this stage). Most of the queries work fine but every now and then I get an error message from the BDE that the "Table is read only." This happens when the RequestLive property is set to true. The Delphi help seems to say that this is because the query is making a join and therefore cannot be editable. However, the queries where I am getting this error, are definitely not joins. The same query works fine when I use ADO instead of the BDO against the same database. Any clues? thanks Mike Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 1:01 am    Post subject: Re: Paradox to SQL Server Mike B wrote: Quote: Any clues? If you are using the BDE SQL Links driver then you are using Microsoft's DBLIB client library. The last version of SQL Server that DBLIB was updated to support is version 6.5. Since you are using it with SQL Server 9 there are undoubtedly things it does not support, for example, all of the new field types added since 6.5. I don't know that this is the problem but it is possible. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Oliver Townshend Guest Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2006 2:14 am    Post subject: Re: Paradox to SQL Server Quote: Any clues?

Here's an example of a query that does not work when using SQL Links: SELECT InvNum, TrnDate AS LastDate, Type FROM DTtrans WHERE Type = 'I' This works fine in Paradox using BDE and in SQL Server using ADO. If I drop the AS syntax and refer to the column by its actual name, then it works. Unfortunately, AS is used extensively throughout the program, so I am hoping to avoid having to do this. thanks Mike "Oliver Townshend" <oliveratzipdotcomdotau> wrote in message news:44a2f151$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

If I drop the AS syntax and refer to the column by its actual name, then it works. There may not be a solution to this. When you set RequestLive to true the BDE attempts to parse the SQL to determine if it will be able to generate the INSERT, UPDATE & DELETE statements required to handle your changes. IIRC it cannot do so when you use AS because it uses the metadata of the query result wich will have a column name that does not exist in the table. This problem does not exist with Paradox tables because the changes are not made using SQL. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Databases (SQL Servers) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
