Subject: [RBASE-L] - strange errors
hey everyone,
About a year and a half ago or so, when we were
using r:tango 2000 on NT 4, we started getting a couple wierd errors from
oterro saying "general error during data source operation".
This is normaly pretty normal because usualy you
have another error before that like it will say syntax error and then "general
error...", but for these errors its 2 "general error..." messages with no
further explanation.
Er...here i have an example of what i mean.
Normaly an error is like this, where it has an error message, then the general
error message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error

But these wierd errors we have been getting give
no detail as to what the error is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the wierd thing about these errors too is that it
doesnt seem to matter what the sql is when they error, it just happens
randomly.
It works 99.999% of the time, which is really
good except that small percent is starting to grow large enough to become a
problem.
some example sql's its failed on
are:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sel sum(acctidamount) from tranacctid where acctid=87594 and transtate in
('A','B') and tranid not in (sel tranid from tranmaster where
districtno='64436' and trantype='cty')
sel sum(acctidamount) from tranacctid where TranState='A' and
acctid=113631 and tranid not in (sel tranid from tranmaster where
trantype='CTY' and districtno='64436')
sel count(distinct tranid) from tranactions where (tranaction is null or
tranaction='purchasing') and tranid in (sel tranid from tranmaster where
districtno='64436') and userno=986
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but like i said, it works almost all the time,
and when it fails, if we take the sql it failed on and paste it in at the
R> prompt or something, it works fine, so i think it might be a
configuration issue.
we were hoping r:tango 5 would clear this up, we
are on windows 2003 server, and on new hardware but still have this same old
problem.
a point of interest might be that we recently
moved some common functionality (to get the balance of an account) into a tcf
and since then, it has caused this error to happen more often in new
places.
Anyone know what the problem might be or have any
ideas?
