(That was hard to find!) In other cases, you have to leave the semicolon out altogether. I'm not sure whose problem that is, but I'm >sure it's not supposed to work that way. Well ODBC says that it's supposed to work that way. RevDB doesn't parse the SQL statement. I've found this too, the best solution is to not append a terminating semicolin to the statement. Oracle seems fine with the semicolin, but MySQL and ODBC throw syntax errors with it. Maybe RevDB should be modified to automatically check for the terminating semicolin (I guess people are into the habit of adding it), and not pass it with the query..what do you think?
