You can alias the table when you sattach especially if you’re not updating the 
table. When updating or adding records I had to have the ‘dbo’ so all I did was 
put IDQUOTES around the table name.

Is the "dbo" required?  I'm starting a project connecting to SQL Server, and 
we're not doing that

Buddy,

 

That didn’t work either, I still get the “Database dbo not connected” error.

Paul

  Since there is a dot in the column name try using the IDQUOTES around the 
column name

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Problem with a Select Distinct Statement

 

Good morning,

 

I'm running the latest build of R:BASE X Enterprise. I have a connection to a 
SQL database & about 6 or 8 SQL tables attached. I'm trying to create a SQL 
Select Distinct statement and can't get the syntax correct. Here's what I've 
tried:

 

SELECT DISTINCT dbo.sales_rep.id AS rep_id, sales_rep.NAME-ALIAS from 
dbo.SALES_REP

 

Error is:

 



 

 

SELECT DISTINCT sales_rep.id AS rep_id from dbo.SALES_REP

 

Error is:

 



 

But this works without error: SELECT * from dbo.SALES_REP

 

Any blues clues?

 

Thanks,

Paul Buckley
