I'm getting this message when i try to run a query on an Oracle database thru ODBC. I can connect to the database just fine. here is the code i'm trying to use. $td_oracle = odbc_connect($dsn, $username, $password) OR DIE("Unable to connect to oracle aradmin database"); $si_oracle_query = "SELECT * FROM SERVICE_INSTRUCTIONS"; $si_oracle_result = odbc_exec($td_oracle, $si_oracle_query); the result i get is: Warning: SQL error: [Oracle][ODBC Oracle Driver][Oracle OCI]ORA-00972: identifier is too long., SQL state 37000 in SQLExecDirect in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\odbc_test.php3 on line 34 i'm connecting to an MSAccess database thru odbc just fine and sending a similar query, it works just fine. do i need to do something different because it is an oracle database? (I read somewhere that oracle uses ' and/or " for Identifiers) Is that on the right track? thanks! -ken -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
