SQL Server ODBC

  • Hello,

    I am trying to obtain the database definition for a SQL Server Database, using the ODBC with the Controller: ODBC Microsoft SQL Server Version 03.85.1117.

    When it shows me all the definition for a particular table all this definition is Ok.

    Only the comments (Extended Properties) for the tables, are not equal to reallity.

    In SQL I have the tables with a long comment (more that 100 Characters), but when I see the definiton tru ODBC it only shows 30 Characters.

    Somebody knows why this is happening?

    Thaks a Lot

  • Sorry, no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is some ODBC limitation.

  • Can you be a bit more specific :

    1. What do you mean by Controller?

    2. What is your DRIVER version ?

    3. What is your ODBC DRIVER MANAGER version ?

  • Noeld...

     

    1. Controller is like Driver:

    2. My Driver version is: 03.85.1117

    Other Data About the Driver of SQL Server are:

    File Name: SQLSRV32.DLL

    Date: 08/19/2004.

    3. How I can Obtain the ODBC DRIVER MANAGER version?

  • OK this is what I need you to Post:

    1. Open the Data Sources (ODBC) applet on the Control Panel!

    2. Go to the DRIVERS Tab and check the version of your SQL Server driver

    3. Go to the About tab and check the version of your ODBC Driver Manager

     

    Last but not least check the version of the MDAC:

    Registry Key :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DataAccess
     
    Registry Value:
     
    FullInstallVer
     
    Make sure Client and server Match!

  • The ODBC standard is old so funny things happen with Microsoft generic ODBC driver, try the links below the first to test drive a third party driver that connects to SQL Server through TDS(tabular data stream) protocol and the second link  is to download the Microsoft .NET ODBC provider and the last link is Dave Roth ODBC expert.  Hope this helps.

  • Definitely the Driver Manager you have is OLD!

    You need to Apply the latest MDAC if Possible!
