Hi all I posted the following to the pyodbc google group, but got no reply - it seems a bit quiet there. I hope someone here can help.
I am using pyodbc version 2.1.6 on Windows Server 2003, connecting to Sql Server 2005. This works - >>> cur.execute('select ?', None) <pyodbc.Cursor object at 0x00A91368> >>> cur.fetchall() [(None, )] This does not work - >>> cur.execute('select * from ctrl.dirusers where todate is ?', None) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> pyodbc.ProgrammingError: ('42000', "[42000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near @P1'. (102) (SQLExecDirectW); [42000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared. (8180)") You may notice that the statement is not strictly DB-API 2.0 compliant. pyodbc has an extension that allows you to supply arguments directly, instead off putting them inside a tuple. I have tried with and without a tuple - the result is the same. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks Frank Millman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
