Are you sure you are using proper drivers? To my understanding, all OpenBD is doing is passing the sql code directly to the server, so unless a bad driver is corrupting the transfer, anything you run directly on the server should also work as passed sql, since it's essentially doing the same thing.
I've had issues like this before (i can run a block of sql on the database server directly, but in OpenBD it fails) and it came down to a driver. -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ google+ hints/tips: https://plus.google.com/115990347459711259462 http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
