Hello, I tried to access sybase via MSADO 2.8 and SQL Anywhere17 Driver, but was not successful. Obviously it sets up a connection (there is no error message) but it does not except the SELECT etc. It says: the syntax is wrong. Even if the syntax is the same as in MS Query / Excel. There it works via SQL Anywhere 17 ODBC and I can edit the values in the fields of Sybase DB. Does anybody have an advise? I would be very thankful. Johannes |

'starts the server etc. sConnStr = "DRIVER=SQL Anywhere 17;Database=C:\ProgramData...\xxx.db;ENG=..DBSRV;DBN=Da;UID=yyy;PWD=xxx" 'starts the server etc. it works 20201023 'connects to a running server sConnStr = "DRIVER=SQL Anywhere 17;ENG=..DBSRV;DBN=..;UID=yyy;PWD=xxx" 'connects to a running server, it works 20201023 Thank you everybody for your precious help! Note, this will only work when the database is expected to run on the local machine, i.e. not on a network server because a SQL Anywhere database client cannot itself start a database server on a remote machine. Note, if the database is expected to run only locally, you can combine that into one connection string via using the START connection parameter, such as... "START=dbeng17 -xd -c 16M;Server=DBSRV;DBF=C:\ProgramData...\xxx.db;DBN=Da;UID=yyy;PWD=xxx"

Can you start the DB server using the key "-zr" and check what SQL query comes from MSADO? Maybe it comes with "square brackets":
Hello Vlad, I was able to start test.db from command line (cmd). Now it works. But how do I check SQL Query which comes from MS ADO? Johannes
In your command line, start dbsrv17 with these extra options
You can also turn -zr on and off dynamically, after the server has started; see the Help Topic Request Logging to learn about CALL sa_server_option().
. . . request logging is a wonderful tool for desperate times :)
after cmd command: >dbsrv17 -zr sql -zo "c:\temp\logsql.txt" test1.db - the logsql.txt is empty. Any suggestions? Thank you
Is it still empty when you try to access the database via MS Query and/or your application? Because the log will only list database requests so just starting the database via dbsrv17 does not lead to any database request.
In addition to Volker's question, you can log everything (not just sql) this way:
Thank you, Volker, so far, when I start the database via dbsrv17... I am not anymore able to use an DataSource connector in order to connect Excel/MSQuery. But if I try to connect via VBA connection string (sConnStr = "DRIVER=SQL Anywhere 17;Database=C:\Users......\test1.db;UID=test1User;PWD=testpwd" ) - the log file contains entries. It says, that the correlation name (of the target table) is missing. I do not have extended knowledge in this field, this is the point, I think. Generally I am looking for a proper way to communicate with Sybase via VBA, as it works (very god!) with MSSQL and SQLite. Thanks very much to everybody for your precious help so far. Now I have to prepare myself for a business trip. I will try to continue afterwards. Johannes
thank you, Breck, very much
thank you, Vlad, very much so far
Please start a new question. Include ALL the copy/pasted text of your code for connecting, AND the log file.
You can format the code with explicit PRE tags...

When you get back, if you just want to send me all your data via email, I can either (a) post an answer here, or more likely (b) post a formatted question for you... breck dot carter at gmail.
