I am currently using the 30 free trial of Powerbuilder 2017 R2
I just migrated some old pbl files and testing the intial connection to MS SQL server
I changed my DB parameters from MSS to SNC (i have the native clients installed successfully)
when i run my powerbuilder code, it comes up with "MSSQL state Error 42S02 Object not identified"
when its trying to dynamically select from a table.
If i prefix the table name with "mydatabase.myrole." it then works
How do i bypass this, as i have thousands of lines of code referencing tables, functions, views and procs?
Yesterday, a fellow colleague pointed me to:
https://www.appeon.com/support/documents/appeon_online_help/pb2017r2/connecting_to_your_database/ch10s06.html
which doesn't help much

any help would be great

did you specify the database name in the provider string?

SQLCA.DBParm = "ProviderString='database=yourdatabasename' "

i also tried your way and doesn't work...



if i do this.... it works....



  sqlca.DBParm = "ProviderString='database=mydatabase"





  integer li_count

  Select isnull(count(*),0) into:li_count from mydatabase.dbo.mytable using sqlca;

  Messagebox('Error',sqlca.SQLErrText + " (" + String(sqlca.SQLDBCode) + ")")

  messagebox('li_count',string(li_count))



if i do this... it doesn't



  sqlca.DBParm = "ProviderString='database=mydatabase"



  integer li_count

   Select isnull(count(*),0) into:li_count from mydatabase.dbo.mytable using sqlca;

 Messagebox('Error',sqlca.SQLErrText + " (" + String(sqlca.SQLDBCode) + ")")

  messagebox('li_count',string(li_count))



get the error 42S02 Error that says "object mytable is invalid (208)

The provider is wrong. For SS2008 you should have ... Provider='SQLNCLI10'

Hi Samir;

   Typically, this means that the DB User ID you are using to connect to the DB instance does not have DBO authority by default. When that happens to me, then SS requires me to use the Table Name qualifier. Check with your DBA about the privileges that your UID has in the DB schema you are trying to use.

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Chris,



Thanks for the response, but I am connecting to the same database using the same ID and role when i run my old powerbuilder 7.0 app and it works for MSS?



Nothing has changed on the DB side?

Make sure that you selected the correct provider as well for SS2008, as follows ...



    SQLCA.DBParm = "Database='Chris',Provider='SQLNCLI10'"
