: Following is the test query
: ...
: tableName | field Name |
: | CHECK as TO someName |
: ...
: Start your Paradox for Windows. Choose Help|About. Press I. Internal
: build will be displayed. Then there will be words "lego:" followed
: by a date. If that date is from 1994, you are OK. But if you installed
: Delphi or latest release of Novel Office or Quatro Pro, that date
: might be from 1995. That's the version of IDAPI the BUG is in. Here
: is how it goes...
: In above query we have used word "TO". It is not a key word. I called
: Borland's Tech Support line paying $2/min and they confirmed it's not.
I hope they are sure about that. Can someone check Paradox Informant? I
think they discussed query changes recently and some query keywords were
NOT documented.
: Above query works fine. But if your "lego" date (i.e. IDAPI build) meets
: above criteria, you will get an error message saying "AS must be followed
: by a name of field in the ANSWER table". Whether you some thing after
: TO or not, DOES NOT MATTER.
: Called Borland many times about it but the guys there wouldn't believe
: me as it works on any copy of Paradox. Finally I asked them to try it
: on a machine which had DELPHI installed on it after Paradox and thus
: had a "lego:" date of Feb/95. It was confirmed and registered.
However, if you DON'T have the Feb/95 IDAPI lego date, expect some ODBC
drivers to go KAPUT with no errors. Happened to me with Intersolv ODBC
drivers for Btrieve. No Feb/95 IDAPI, no data.
