Syntax Error without details in Pervasive SQL - pervasive

Question

I am getting an error talking to a Pervasive SQL database, but without much details about what could be wrong. Do you have any advice about how I could debug where the problem is
Pervasive.Data.SqlClient.Lna.k: [LNA][PSQL][SQL Engine]Syntax Error.
at Pervasive.Data.SqlClient.Lna.w.a(String , ad , l )
at Pervasive.Data.SqlClient.PsqlCommand.a(Boolean , CommandBehavior , Boolean )
at Pervasive.Data.SqlClient.PsqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Here is the code
using (PsqlCommand command = new PsqlCommand(sql, psqlConnection))
{
command.Parameters.Clear();
command.CommandText = sql;
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#KidDate", companyKIDDate);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#KidTime", companyKIDTime);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#KidMult", companyKIDMult);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#KidComm", companyKIDComm);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#DateGmt", companyKIDDate);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#TimeGmt", companyKIDTime);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Seconds", companyKIDTime);
result = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
The query sql in the code is (keeping the weird formatting for exactitude).
INSERT INTO "FMUPDATE"
("KID - date", "KID - time", "KID - user", "KID - mult", "KID - comm",
"Date GMT", "Time GMT",
"Flag",
"Pax Update",
"User ID",
"Count",
"Seconds",
"RockstarFlag")
VALUES(?, ?, 'RF01', ?, ?,
?, ?,
1,
1,
'RF01',
1,
?,
1);
And here is the PsqlTrace of the error

The MKDE.TRA file is a Btrieve / Transactional engine level trace. The error you are seeing is a Relational engine error. Some Relational engine errors are the same as Transactional / Btrieve errors but most are not. You can turn on tracing within the Pervasive.Data.SqlClient interface using code like below:
PsqlTrace.TraceFile = "C:\\source\\debug\\MyTrace.txt";
PsqlTrace.RecreateTrace = 1;
PsqlTrace.EnableTrace = 1;
This will generate a file that has a format like:
Assembly Name: Pervasive.Data.SqlClient, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c84cd5c63851e072
Assembly File Version: 4.1.0.005024

Since this doesn't always happen, I would enable / disable the trace only around the calls that fail. Once you get the error, take a look at the trace and see if there's any more information. Posting here might get more eyes on it. If I had to guess, I would say that some value you are passing is invalid (00-00-0000 for a date, string for an integer, etc.).
