Hi,

a few years ago I got eGroupWare (www.egroupware.org) running with
MaxDB. Now one release later there are a few problems, I could not solve:

SELECT * FROM egw_addressbook
WHERE contact_tid='n' AND (egw_addressbook.contact_owner=7 OR
contact_private=0 AND egw_addressbook.contact_owner IN (7,0) OR
egw_addressbook.contact_owner IS NULL)
ORDER BY n_family<>'' DESC,n_family ASC,n_given ASC,org_name ASC
maxdb Error: 37000 ([unixODBC][SAP AG][LIBSQLOD SO][MaxDB] Syntax error
or access violation;-3008 POS(214) Invalid keyword or missing delimiter)

That query show the addressbook sorted by family-name (placing the
contacts without family name at the end).

I also tried:

SELECT *,n_family<>'' AS others FROM egw_addressbook
...
ORDER BY others DESC,n_familiy ASC,n_given ASC,org_name ASC

But that gives the same error :-)

n_family, n_given and org_name are varchar(40), contact_owner,
contact_private are int columns.

I also noticed a strainge behavior of the odbc driver. Under openSUSE
10.2 (I think the same is true for all SuSE versions) the odbc.ini is
usually in /etc/unixODBC. Placing it there does not work with MaxDB. It
only works if I symlink /etc/odbc.ini to /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini. Took me
quite a while to find out ...
