Hi, developing in MFC/Visual Studio 6 I've encountered a strange problem in last version of ODBC Driver (actually 07_01_0005). Each time a SQL error occours, the istructions TRY/ CATCH doesn't report the error string: the CDBException ' member m_strError is empty Follows an example: // MFC C++ Code CDatabase myDB; [.....] // Init and Open database... //create a table with a WRONG SQL statement: CString sSQLStatement="CREATE TABLE Dummy ( int DummyID, )"; // The statement is WRONG beacuse the comma after the last column definition. //Executes The statement and catch errors: TRY { myDB.ExecuteSQL(sSQLStatement); } CATCH(CDBException, e) { AfxMessageBox(e->m_strError); } END_CATCH Well, with driver version v06-50-0000 i got the string "Error creating the table; ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ")", that it is the correct error message from the back-end. Instead, with Version 07_01_0005 of the ODBC driver, the string e->m_strError is always empty, and the member m_nRetCode of CDBException class is = -1; Handling errors with C++ exception is a great thing, i thing this is a bug of ODBC driver. The only way to discover the SQL errors reported by the back-end is to analyze the driver connection log, after each SQLExecute failed istruction, and it is not very very confortable for the programmer :) Thank you.
