Using Pass-Through did the trick.  Thanks for the help!

Carl

P.S.,  In OpenOffice, on the SQL view window, there's a button with a box 
and "SQL" in it.  Activating that turns on pass-through.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Frankly, I'm quite surprised that the ODBC driver specification talks at all 
about SQL grammar, although I have absolutely no knowledge of the 
specification.  I would think that the commands traveling over ODBC would not 
be interpreted by ODBC at all.  Why would it need to?

Also, the above grammar is standard SQL, if I'm not mistaken.  If the ODBC 
spec talks about grammar, I would think that it would support such a 
widely-used standard...

In any case, I've been searching for how to turn on pass-through to no avail.  
Got any pointers?

Thanks for the help,

Carl

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've searched for hours trying to find how to 
force pass-through with no luck.  Got any ideas?

I would see if you could trim down the statement and keep the statement all on 
one 
line (if possible) 
if you cant trim it down try putting the logic in a function

This is an OO problem, at some point OO Base translates ODBC and JDBC queries 
into its native SDBC format and it has some parser limitations. To get this to 
run you will have to turn of the query builder and just run it as a pass 
through query.

I am not speaking with specific knowledge about the official PostgreSQL
ODBC driver, but support for the above grammar is not demanded by the
actual ODBC specification.  Many ODBC drivers have a pass-through mode.
You might check the documentation for the official driver and see if it
has one.  Any query that will work from PSQL will work in pass-through
mode.

[GENERAL] ODBC limitation??

2009-03-14 Thread Carl Sopchak
When I run the following query through psql, it executes successfully.  
However, when I run it through ODBC (via OpenOffice Base), I get the error 

SQL Status: HY000
Error code: 1000

syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting BETWEEN or IN or SQL_TOKEN_LIKE

Is this some limitation of ODBC?  (I don't think so, so I'm going to ask on 
the OpenOffice lists, but thought I'd check here, too...)

Query:

select number_of_years, 
max(case when trial_id = 1 then period_results else null end) as MaxResults1,
min(case when trial_id = 1 then period_results else null end) as MaxResults1,
max(case when trial_id = 2 then period_results else null end) as MaxResults2,
min(case when trial_id = 2 then period_results else null end) as MaxResults2
from trial_results 
where trial_id in (1,2) 
group by number_of_years 
order by number_of_years;


This is on Linux, Fedora 8, using PostgreSQL 8.3.6 and unixODBC...

Thanks for the help,

Carl
