RE: [PHP] Re: FOLLOW UP on "column names not liked by odbc/php/access"
mweb, I suggest you use the ODBC Metadata functions in PHP to describe your database, e.g. odbc_tables, odbc_columns, odbc_primarykeys, odbc_foreignkeys, etc. Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software http://www.openlinksw.com Universal Data Access & Data Integration Technology Providers > -Original Message- > From: mweb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 6:44 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Re: FOLLOW UP on "column names not liked by > odbc/php/access" > > > On Wednesday 05 December 2001 12:21, Dr. Michael Wittmann wrote: > > > - you dont need apostrophes for numeric fields. you get the table > > definition using sql command 'DESC tablename' > > Thanks to Michael and all the others who pointed out my errors.

Re: FOLLOW UP on "column names not liked by odbc/php/access"
hi,
in your sql command there are several errors:
it has the form
INSERT INTO ()
VALUES ();
but:
- there are more items in the list of values than in the list of
fieldnames. these lists should match.
- there's an extra comma after fieldname 'unico', and the closing ) is
missing.
- you dont need apostrophes for numeric fields. you get the table
definition using sql command 'DESC tablename'
(- and the tablename -was- missing :)
hope this helps,
michael

Partial answer to "FOLLOW UP on "column names not liked by odbc/php/access"
OOPS...
of couse the query below doesn't work, it doesn't have the table name
(see below however)
> ISQL_exec_String = "Insert Into (Artista, Opera, Label, Anno, Nazione,
> CDNow, Autore, AutoreNome, Genere, GenereCustom, SulWeb, Autorizzato,

Adding the table name, I "simply" get:
Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type
mismatch in criteria expression., SQL state 22005 in SQLExecDirect in
C:\domini\m.net\inserzione3.php on line 116
Error in odbc_exec( no cursor returned )
This is clear, but, since I just take over the database, no docs exists about
it, and I only have Linux running right now at home, how do I fins out
quickly which columns are type mismatch? the 2.5 value almost sure doesn't go
into quotes, right? but what about the others?
TIA,
Mweb

Re: [PHP] FOLLOW UP on "column names not liked by odbc/php/access"
Just a thought. 'Label' might be a reserved name on win as it is/was used to
describe the name of a volume (drive).
But then again, maybe not.

FOLLOW UP on "column names not liked by odbc/php/access"
Hello,
On the same database, this query works:
$SQL_Exec_String = "INSERT INTO Multimedia (Titolo,Descrizione,Logo,Link)
VALUES ('prova titolo','prova descrizione','.gif','prova link');";
$cur= odbc_exec( $cnx, $SQL_Exec_String );
This one gives this error:
ISQL_exec_String = "Insert Into (Artista, Opera, Label, Anno, Nazione, CDNow,
Autore, AutoreNome, Genere, GenereCustom, SulWeb, Autorizzato, Unico, VALUES
('prova2', 'inedita', 'ignota',
'2001','IT', 'nonesiste', 'io', 'lui','3', 'ulteriori dettagli sul genere
musicale', 'http://www.no.it', '1', '20011205111456', 'asdas erfver', 'ciao
ni', '2.5', 'Non andare a capo!');"
Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in
INSERT INTO statement., SQL state 37000 in SQLExecDirect in
C:\domini\m.net\inserzione3.php on line 115
Error in odbc_exec( no cursor returned )
Does the second qyury look syntactically wrong to you? May it be that some
column name or quoting is wrong, or some value I try insert is not matching
the column type? If so, why would this be a *syntax* error?
Is it possible to query access via Php so that it will tell the internal
strucure of the table?
(this database was developed and left online by somebody else, that's why
I don't have all this info)
Any help is greatly appreciated, as are working sql statements for similar
(php+odbc+access) cases.
regards,
mweb
