SQL Data type from ADO connection

Recommended Posts

I'm running a query against a DB2 and when I execute it via the terminal access, it works without issue (the field size on the terminal renderer was bumped up to a few thousand to hold all the data). The problem lies when I try to use microsoft query or an ADO connection. It brings back a result that looks like its been encoded or something. Does anyone have any idea or things I can try for troubleshooting?

EBCDIC?

YES! I had no idea what it was called, but based on what wiki says, it looks like that's what I'm dealing with. Can this be handled with an ADO connection or using autoit in anyway?

Yeah pretty sure you can do this.

It's the same as converting ASCII, Hex, Bin, etc.

Quick google search even returned some online converters.

>Simple example autoit conversion by nobbe.

Edit: Just out of curiousity, what are you retrieving?

When running queries against *FILE objects I usually don't get my results in EBCDIC.

That looks like what I need, but I think I'm missing a step. This is an example of what the data looks like when it comes back from the DB via ADO:

I'm using an ODBC connection to do the ADO query, but when I look at this data on the terminal (in the table and not the setup viewer), I do see the strings that need to be decoded

Could you post how you do it?

I'm getting data from DB2 like this.

Maybe it helps you.

Func _DB2Connect($ps_Server, $ps_User, $ps_Pass)
    Local $lo_Connection = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
    $lo_Connection.Provider = "IBMDA400"
    $lo_Connection.Properties("Data Source") = $ps_Server
    $lo_Connection.Properties("User ID") = $ps_User
    $lo_Connection.Properties("Password") = $ps_Pass
    $lo_Connection.Open
    If @error Then Return False

    Return $lo_Connection
EndFunc
 
Func _SQLQuery($po_Connection, $ps_Query, $ps_LogPath = "")
    Local $lsa_Return, $lo_RecordSet
    If $ps_LogPath = "" Then $ps_LogPath = @ScriptDir & "\log"

    $lo_RecordSet = $po_Connection.Execute($ps_Query)
    If @error Then
        ;logging func
        Return False
    EndIf

    If StringMid($ps_Query, 1, 6) <> "SELECT" Then Return True

    $lsa_Return = $lo_RecordSet.GetRows
    If @error Then
        Return False
    EndIf

    Return $lsa_Return
EndFunc

I use a DB2 connector and an ODBC connection. Here is the code to open the connection:

$sqlDB2Con = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
$sqlDB2Con.Mode = 16  ; shared
$sqlDB2Con.CursorLocation = 3 ; client side cursor
$sqlDB2Con.Open ("DSN=[ODBC NAME];UID=[USERNAME];Password=[PASSWORD];Database=[DATABASE];Port=[PORT];Hostname=[HOSTNAME];")

and here is the code for a query:

Func __GetRecords($query,$connection)
    $sqlRs = ObjCreate("ADODB.Recordset")
    ConsoleWrite($query&@CRLF)
    $sqlRs.open ($query,$connection)
        If $sqlRs.EOF = True Then
            SetError(1)
            $sqlRs.Close
        Else
            $result = $sqlRs.GetRows
            If UBound($result)>0 Then
                Return $result
                $sqlRs.Close
            Else
                SetError(1)
                $sqlRs.Close
            EndIf
        EndIf
EndFunc

I'll take a look at what you are doing and see if I can adapt it and see if it fixes the issue.
