Re: [U2] BCI Interface
Thank you David. I suspected I might be reduced to trying a cast on the server side. I should also mention that I am using the Easysoft driver and I've posited the question to them, just to see their take.

Re: [U2] BCI Interface
I have not found any way to force SQL type compatibility, but I have worked around it by using CAST/CONVERT in the SQL statement to make UniData see the data as a type it did recognize. In my case it was a matter of BigInt not being handled (which is ironic, since U2 doesn't usually fuss about whether something is a string or a number). I don't know if that is going to work for your situation, though. HTH, David Beahm Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 05:43:44 -0600 From: "Trey Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [U2] BCI Interface Hello, I'm on a system running UniData 6.0. I'm attempting to use the BCI to return an SQL table from a 2003 MsSql server. I've established a connection and can execute the SQLExecDirect with a "select * from " against several tables with no issue, but any table which includes a binary column fails with an unsupported data type error. The documentation shows that there are provisions for binding SQL.B.BINARY data types when pushing data out of UniData and onto the data source.

[U2] BCI Interface
Hello, I'm on a system running UniData 6.0. I'm attempting to use the BCI to return an SQL table from a 2003 MsSql server. I've established a connection and can execute the SQLExecDirect with a "select * from " against several tables with no issue, but any table which includes a binary column fails with an unsupported data type error. The documentation shows that there are provisions for binding SQL.B.BINARY data types when pushing data out of UniData and onto the data source. I'm wondering if there are any provisions for binding to a binary data column when attempting to bring an entire table into UniData through the BCI. I can not seem to find any.
