PB 2017 R3 is generating an SQL Syntax Error at run time when trying to retrieve a blob column in a data window. I'm using MySQL  5.7.24.  The message is a sqlstate = 37000, 1064.  The partial syntax is:  "You have an error in your SQL...near ': blob FROM job_desc_blobs WHERE idjob_pos = 25' at line 1

I expect the actual SQL to read:

SELECT job_desc_blob FROM job_desc_blobs WHERE idjob_pos = 25.

I have no idea why its generating this syntax error.  I've tried every possible configuration combination. 

Jim

It may have something to do with this bug if you are using the TableBlob.

https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/search/view?id=848#

It still hasn't been fixed, but there is a workaround.

Also, for your SQL statement, shouldn't it be...

SELECTBLOB job_desc_blob FROM job_desc_blobs WHERE idjob_pos = 25

Thanks Shenn,



I believe you found the cause. I do see that in the SQL I can see from the error message, that it appears that there is the word ":Blob" inserted where it shouldn't be and that's what SQL is complaining about. I get the same result for Table Blob or Ole.



My SQL Select statement works OK without using "BLOB". Not sure if PB does something to it, but the SELECT statement works in Mysql as "Select job_desc_blob From job_desc_blobs Where idjob_pos = 25".



I've tried not populating the Blob/Text column in the definition window in PB when defining the blob (suggested workaround). Although I don't get the retrieve error, I am unable to double click the blob to activate it. So it looks like a no go.



This is rather odd because up until recently, this worked. I can't think of anything that has changed on my side.

Did you try manually editing the source...



Before modification：

column=(type=blob name=blob_1 dbname="some_blob_column: blob" )

After modification：

column=(type=blob name=blob_1 dbname="some_blob_column" )

The redundant ‘: blob’ is removed.

I had this working once, or so I thought.  I started getting strange results on my data window.  First, a "-3 data changed between retrieve and update".  Deleted the old blob column and added a new, which leaves me with this error.

The blob size setting > 16 megs, I have no blobs currently.

Tried using the table blob, I get the exact same result.

I successfully got a trace file output in *.pbp but can't read it (Notepad?)  Just get symbols.  Added the DBParm to DisableBind but that didn't help with the readable output.

This is all happening on a very simple DW with nothing else going on.

Wrong kind of trace. Add 'TRACE ' to the beginning of sqlca.DBMS to create a SQL trace.

Hi Roland,

Can't seem to generate SQL trace output. I'm using these PS statements in the Open event:



SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=MySql ITERP 32;UID=root;SQLCA.DBParm=PBMaxBlobSize=16777215',PBCatalogOwner='iterp',ConnectOption='SQL_OPT_TRACE,SQL_OPT_TRACE_ON;SQL_OPT_TRACEFILE,C:\ITERP\MYTrace.LOG'"

SQLCA.DBMS = "TRACE ODBC"

SQLCA.DBParm="PBTrace=1"

SQLCA.DBParm="DisableBind=1"



Then process the window to do the initial retrieve (where I get the retrieve error when using a Ole or Table Blob.



dw_detail.settransobject ( sqlca )

this.EVENT ue_retrieve()

Hi James;

1)  Is this the 1st time that you have tried the DW Blob feature or ... did this issue just start happening?

2)  Have you tried a PB based SQL trace (SQLCA.DBMS = "TRACE ODBC") for more information?

3) Did you set the PBMaxBlobSize parameter in your ODBC settings?

4) Have you tried the TableBLob feature of the DWO instead of OLE?

Regards ... Chris
