Re: PG 7.3.4 VS PG 8.0.3 Problem

Tom,

I'll send this over to the odbc list. However, the odbc driver is
liked into our cobol environment. I did not change the driver. We
are running the 7.2.5 odbc driver. This is why I am pointing to a
difference in the db responses.

The entire environment is the exactly same except for the database
versions (I am actually running the exact same code and odbc driver
against the 2 db's). I can have the application connect via odbc to
my 7.3.4 instance and get the sqlcode of 0. I can have the same
application with the same odbc connect via odbc to my 8.0.3 instance
and I get the sqlcode of 100.

This is what is pointing me to a problem with one of the db's. It
appears that the sqlca code has had to of changed between the 7.3.4
and 8 code and is now behaving in a different (and unexpected) manner.

BTW, which version is correct? Should a no rows return query give a 0 or a 100?
