Not suprisingly, a 'select * from emp' query is thwarted the same way.
(But _very_ surprisingly if you start with this (natural) query.)
How can I access that attribute?
How can I access the "more error info available" ?
Is there _any_ way around this?
You are correct that ODBC support DATE type, in fact it support 3 DATE types:
SQL_TYPE_DATE;SQL_TYPE_TIME;SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP
You may use ddcol to query the exact column data type. It is possible that
dbase date is SQL_TYPE_DATE (not the more common SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP). You might
have to patch the odbc.ijs if you really want work on dbase files. Both ddfet
and ddfch need some work.
I have added ddparm and ddins both of them supports 3 DATE types. You might get
some hints from them.
