Hi, I do work at Easysoft (Hi Richard, how it going? :-)), and I have
been taking a look at cake and the SQL Server driver. I have found a
couple of things that may help you (though without seeing exactly what
the problem you are having is its based on what I have found).
1. There is a bug in the unixODBC cursor lib that causes problem.
There is a fix in the 2.2.15pre version now on ftp.unixodbc.org
2. It seems that the code on dbo_odbc.php assumes that all databases
use ` as the delimiter, this is clearly wrong, and will cause most
queries to fail. This can be fixed by changing the code in cake/libs/
model/datasources/dbo/dbo_odbc.php at or about line 49 change the
definition of start and end quotes to the SQL Standard of a double
quote
var $startQuote = "\"";
var $endQuote = "\"";
3. By default SQL Server only allows one active statement, php has
traditionally tried to work around this by using dynamic cursors for
the connection. This will work with our driver, but as the cake code
brings in the cursor lib, it defeats some of this. The use of the
cursor lib can be disabled byrt editing the same file again, and on
line 101 change the line
$this->connection = $connect($config['database'], $config['login'],
$config['password'], SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC);
to
$this->connection = $connect($config['database'], $config['login'],
$config['password'], SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER);
4. I am unsure just why, but if 3 is not done, then you will get a
error about multiple active statements (I know whay you get the error,
I am just unsure whats going on with the reuse of the statements). But
as you are trying to use the Easysoft driver, if you are going to a
SQL Server 2005 or later database, you can make use of the multiple
active statement feature by enabling it in the odbc.ini entry. Adding
a
Mars_Connection = Yes
To the connection info.
Hopefully this will help, if not let me know, and the more detail you
can provide the better.
