------- Additional comments from erem...@openoffice.org Sun Mar 15 22:27:38 +0000 2009 ------- I played with the internal database of Base and found the same issue as I reported for Base with MS Access. The internal database supports two concatenation operators '||' and '+'. Base is not able to parse queries that use the '+' operator for concatenation in combination with a literal value. I attached a test database "97811.ods" that contains the following queries: "q_concat_col_plus_col with Base SQL: ok" This query proves that concatenation with '+' symbol is supported with internal database. "q_concat_col_plus_literal with Direct SQL:ok" This query proves that concatenation with '+' symbol is supported with internal database in direct SQL mode. Disable Direct SQL mode makes the query fail. "q_concat_col_plus_literal via derived table with Base SQL: ok" This proves the workaround by using a derived table. Note the other 'workaround' for internal Base database is to use the more common '||' operator, but that is no available for MS access. I assume that both databases suffer from the fact that Base SQL parser can not parse literal string values in combination with '+' symbol as string concatenation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
