Hi, the "misbehaviour" of the DDL TIMESTAMP function in this effected table seems the same as in tables effected by the SYSERROR -9999 error I reported on December 5th 2005. I seem to have found a funny correlation (?) between the occurance of corrupted timstamp entries and different versions of the dbproc generating the data rows that contain the timestamp field in question: With an older version of the dbproc that has somewhat simpler code the DDL TIMESTAMP function works fine; with a later version (complexer code due to new requirements) we face corrupted timestamp entries (missing first byte). Both versions use the DDL TIMESTAMP function when inserting data into the table which has unchanged DDL.
Unfortunately I am not able to debug this by myself, but by calling the TIMESTAMP function explicitly in the insert statement in the dbproc (newest version) the problem is bypassed. I do not know if this problem also occurs with newer MaxDB versions (we use v7.6.00 Build 012-123-102-632 here), but I suggest to investigate it! kind regards Frank -- MaxDB Discussion Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/maxdb To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
