ID: 9816 User Update by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Bug Type: ODBC related Description: FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate I got the same error when I tried (in numerous ways) to get the concatenation of two fields returned "AS" a new fieldname: My example query: SELECT BorrowerId, [FirstName] & [LastName] AS BName FROM Borrowers causes: FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate 2147483599 bytes I tried '+', '|', and '&' as concatenation operators, tried CONCAT(a, b) -- I had heard that there was supposedly an internal odbc function called CONCAT that's supposed to be driver independent, though I'm not quite sure how that would work in practice -- and I even tried creating an Access "Query"/View/StoredProcedure called BorrowerNames using the query above. When I then issued a "SELECT * FROM BorrowerNames", I still got the error. Environment: Windows 2000 Server, SP1 PHP 4.0.4pl1 (CGI) Access 97 using odbc_exec() to Access 97 database Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-27 08:32:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Another user commented: I just have read the bug-report 9816 at php.net and want to answer your email. Yes, the users are right: I had the same problems with FATAL:emalloc() using the same odbc-queries to get information out of two ms access tables. The first table only contains Customer-ID and pasword, the second contains customer adress and a remark-field (data type memo) Tests: user authentication for login taken from table 1 -> OK hello text for user from table 2 -> FATAL:emalloc() Result of Test enviroment - after some nights of installation :-) : 1) Win2000, MS Access2000, IIS5 and PHP4.0.4 : FATAL:emalloc() 2) Win2000, MS Access2000 SP1, IIS5 and PHP4.0.4 : FATL:emalloc() 3) Win2000, MS Access2000 SP1, Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.0.4 : FATAL:emalloc() 4) Win NT 4, MS Access2000, IIS4 and PHP 4.0.4: OK, no errors 5) Win NT 4, MS Access2000, Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.0.4: OK, no errors The next days I try to debug the source code to find out what the trigger of emalloc() realy is. Our new Webserver should be a Win2000 Server with Apache and PHP. Therefore we need to know where the emalloc() error comes from. If you want know our results of debugging please send me an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-16 22:54:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can someone with access to Windows2000 please test this out and either confirm or deny this report? User reports this won't happen under Win98SE and that is currently all I have access to... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-03 07:50:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am sorry but I have no coments on you ... In all versions from 4.0.2 till 4.0.4pl1. Only in win2000 with srvice pack 1 installed. Only, not in 95,98,me,nt and win2000 with out service pack 1. This script <? $a=odbc_connect("oh","",""); $r=odbc_prepare($a,"SELECT 'a' FROM xx"); odbc_execute($r); odbc_free_result($r); odbc_close($a); ?> where xx is a table whith 1 integer field and 1 row. and oh is odbc system dsn for ms access file with only one table (xx). I get FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate 2147483599 bytes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-01 20:40:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] A) Unable to reproduce locally on Win98SE, and MSAccess with 4.0.5RC4 B) which version of PHP are you using?
