FreeTDS, MS SQL, Stored procedures problem

Post by dstaniak »

I'm intensively using Zeos in my everyday work with MS SQL Server. To this day I have used the ntwdblib.dll, but recently I started to port my software to Linux. Therefore I'm forced to use FreeTDS. Suddenly after switching to FreeTDS my stored procedures stopped working with errors about missing parameters. For two days I've been examining the problem and I have found the source of it.

There are two error sources in ZDbcDbLibStatement.pas , both in TZDBLibCallableStatement.ExecutePrepared.

First of all one cannot use single variable (like DatInteger and other Dat...) to pass input parameters to FreeTDS RPC because it stores the value's addresses instead of actual values. This means that if a stored procedure has 2 integer parameters, at the calling time both will have the value of the last passed parameter because of using single DatInteger variable for all parameters. That applies to all passed parameters and is an obvious mistake.
I've fixed it by declaring arrays for all parameter types used.

The second error is when passing input parameters that are converted to strings (stString, stUnicodeString, stDate, stTime, stTimeStamp, stAsciiStream, stUnicodeStream, stBinaryStream, stBytes).

How stated in FreeTDS source file rpc.c in dbcrpcparam function:

Code: Select all

	
* Well, maxlen should be used only for output parameter however it seems
* that ms implementation wrongly require this 0 for NULL variable
* input parameters, so fix it
So, the maxlen parameter should not be passed for input parameters, but, currently, it is.
My fix here was to replace MaxInt to -1 for all input parameters FPlainDriver.dbRpcParam calls.

Below is the complete fixed TZDBLibCallableStatement.ExecutePrepared:

Code: Select all

function TZDBLibCallableStatement.ExecutePrepared: Boolean;

              DefVarManager.SetAsDateTime(Temp,

        end;
    end;
    OutParamValues[I] := Temp;
    Inc(ParamIndex);
  end;

//Workaround for sybase. the dbCount does not work, so a select @@rowcount is
//made but this cleared the returned output parameters, so this is moved here
//after reading the output parameters
  FetchRowCount;

  DriverManager.LogMessage(lcExecute, FPlainDriver.GetProtocol,
    Format('EXEC %s', [SQL]));
end;
I hope that this will help people who are forced to use MS SQL connection!

FreeTDS MS SQL Stored procedures problem

Post by Alecarrka »

Hi

I'm working on Cognos 8.4.0.
Currently I have about 10 datasources to support.

I've already created one FM model which has macros/parameters inserted in every Query Subject at DataSource Layer.

The case is that some of my reports are based on Stored Procedures MS SQL and there is a need to have same "dynamic datasource" feature pluged in...


My issue is that I can find any solution to cover the need...


Please let me know if you had any similar cases or have any ideas how to carry this out.


Thanks
LM
