The application part of my database is in Access 2003, and I use tables that are linked from SQL server. Now, I have some tables that I have to link from an Oracle database.

Where else can MS Access get a DSN?

I have an access 2000 application to manage. The DSN is pointing to the production Postgresql database and I'd like to point it to the one running on my machine for testing. The problem is, I can't figure out how to change it. I tried running odbcad32.exe, and I did see the DSN and was able to change it to what I wanted (and it did pas...

php odbc connect not connecting to sybase db

php odbc_connect not connecting with sybase database. I set up a web site using php to talk to a sybase db (already in use for a in-house application) via a odbc connection, so users in the field could access the in-house db.

ODBC and Windows Service

Hi, I'm new to windows services and... you guessed it, I’m a bit stuck. Let me paint the picture – I’m running a timed service that use an OdbcDataReader and SqlBulkCopy to (1) archive the data (2) normalize the data on a SQL box. When I run this code in a windows form proj. it works fine. Then, when I change the DNS’s Data Directory P...

c++ Debugging Exception c0000139

Hi, I am currently trying to get to the bottom of a client crash with one of our applications. I have wrapped the app in an exception handler which creates a mini-dump when the crash occurs. The application crashes with the exception c0000139 (of which there isn't a huge amount of documentation). The callstack looks like this ntdll....

I have a .accdb file on my local machine and I am trying to connect to it and read some data from 3 tables within the DB. How do I establish the connection using Perl?

Relative table links in ms-access

I'm sure this must have been asked before, but I can't find it. Can I set a relative path for the location of a linked table in Access 2003? The other table is also stored in an mdb file. These databases will sometimes be connected to via odbc or oledb, so relying on vba code that fires when Access opens the file will not work. If poss...

SQL1092N "ASPNET" does not have the authority to perform the requested command. Basic ODBC call to a dsn does not work.

Don't shoot me for this, but I've posted this on experts-exchange as well. I just need an answer. Here's the question (and yes, i've searched, googled, and searched again): I'm getting some very strange errors on boiler plate odbc connection code. The code connects to DB2 (which is always a joy to work with) and has never given me issue...

Filemaker Sql Queries against columns with spaces in the name

I have an ODBC DSN setup to hit a Filemaker database from my ASP.Net application. I'm trying to form a valid query where the column name has spaces in it. In T-SQL, you would enclose it in []. But I fail to get it to work in this case. Here's a valid query: select * from ua_inventory where location like '%a%' But this is not: sele...

I have an old server (Solaris 8) running Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.21.UC4, and I want to get ODBC enabled so that I can get to the data from elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find documentation online about how to do this on the server. I am able to use dbaccess on the server to get to the data just fine, but when I loo...

SqlDataReader, a firehose cursor - no buffering?

So I understand SqlDataReader is quite fast, you dont know how many rows you'll get and it only allocates memory for each row at a time. So if I have a million rows of small rows (say 4 to 32 bytes) each row read means a roundtrip to the server? No buffering takes place right? If I used ODBC via SQL Native Client I could setup a row buf...

ODBC Quote character and other info from .Net

Jet Engine's query-optimization is based on statistics, but how are they refreshed with linked tables?

Hi there, i am dealing with some legacy access < 2007 "databases". All the tables are linked tables to a SQL Server 2008. While the odbc-links are established the table structure is copied into the mdb-file together with the DSN-string. Thats what one can see in Msysobjects. A query forces the jet-engine to retrieve the data from SQL...

MS Access, Pass through query with complex criteria. Criteria include Select statments and vba functions.

I currently have multiple queries that query data from a few tables linked through ODBC, and some temporary tables that are edited through the user interface.
