Does anyone recall where the setting is to allow/ignore double quote characters around table and column names? I'm able to execute queries against a dw or via the DB painter, but I get an error when querying an ASA local DB when running the application via PB 2019. Thank you, ME

Hi Chris,

I think you are close. I write that as I thought similar. However, I found that we were not doing that in the past with either of those parameters. I have PB 2017 running on a separate machine; it is working and neither of those settings exist there. It has me wondering if there's a DB ini file setting or similar somewhere else other than the initial connection to the DB parameters.

I hope I'm making some sense. The odd thing is that other team members are working fine, and they are not seeing the issue that is occurring for me.

Thank you for your reply and assistance with this,

Mike

You did fine detective work. I learned that the issue was in this file. I obtained the same INI file from a team member that did not have this issue. With only replacing this one file, the issue was resolved. The odd thing... I compared all settings in the [Adaptive Server Anywhere] section (including DelimitIdentifier='YES' and IdentifierQuoteChar='"'), and all were identical. There must be another setting that ties into this issue. Thank you again for your time and assistance with this issue, Mike

What version of SQL Anywhere are you using? The [Adaptive Server Anywhere] is for older SQL Anywhere versions (v6-9 if I recall). For version 10 and later, you will be looking at the section for [SQL Anywhere].



The other option is to set the quoted_identifier option when the connection is made, i.e.;



set temporary option quoted_identifier='off'.



This can be done using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.

On the PROPERTIES of a database profile, go to the SYNTAX tabpage.
The top item is what you seek.

Hi Mike;

  Is this what you are looking for  ...

SQLCA.DBParm = "IdentifierQuoteChar='"',DelimitIdentifier='Yes'"

Hi, Mike - 

What connection parameters are you using currently? What version of the database? What error are you receiving? Are you able to successfully establish a connection either in the app or in the IDE's Database Painter?
