unwanted SET NO_BROWSETABLE ON generated by tadodataset - sql-server

i have a problem in my delphi application with tadodataset
the simple question after switching from delphi xe2 to xe9 and sql2014
i see in profiler that all of my queries started with SET NO_BROWSETABLE ON this cause recompile stored procedures and functions in sql server
can some one tell me how can i disable this option
and sample code
ADODataSet1.Close; ADODataSet1.CommandText := 'Select * from
mytable'; ADODataSet1.Open;
and result in profiler :
SET NO_BROWSETABLE ON
Select * from mytable

Your question seems to imply that the SET NO_BROWSETABLE ON has only started since changing to a more recent Delphi version.
If that is what you mean, I am not sure your observation is accurate, at least I cannot reproduce any difference in behaviour between an app compiled with the current Delphi version, XE10 Seattle and Delphi 7 from 15 years go regarding NO_BROWSETABLE.
I have an instance of Sql Server 2014 running on this machine, which is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. If I compile and run a minimal Delphi Seattle project that does a simple select * from sometable using a TAdoConnection and a TAdoQuery, Sql Server's Profiler shows the MDac layer sending a SET NO_BROWSETABLE ON, like you. However, if I compile and run exactly the same project in Delphi 7, I get exactly the same statements shown in the profiler - there is no difference whatsoever if the app is compiled in D7 or Seattle.
This is with the cursor location set to clUseClient. The SET NO_BROWSETABLE ON doesn't occur if I use clUseServer. It also doesn't occur in a minimal DBExpress application using a TSqlConnection and TSqlQuery so maybe that uses a server-side cursor as well.

I'm using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Sql Server. Although this is said to be deprecated by MS, I've always had far less trouble with it than with their provider for ODBC or that "native client" one.

Btw you mention "xe9". Do you mean XE8 or Delphi Seattle or what?

cannot run this command because java services are not enabled Sybase 12.5

I tried to run this procedure "sp_oledb_getcolumnprivileges" for oledb connection which i got from here, i have ran "sp_configure 'enable java', 1" and restarted Sybase and my result is
- Default -0, Memory Used -0, Config Value-1, Run Value -0,
Unit-switch, Type -static.
but when i try to run the procedure the error is still the same
I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree here.
The stored proc you picked up from that web site was not for ASE. As the comments in its header show, it comes from MS SQL Server. It seems quite dumb from whomever runs that web site to execute this on ASE, since it is pretty obvious this won't work -- these are two different brands of databases.
Also, this has nothing to do with Java. The reason you may see error messages in ASE mentioning Java is that this MSSQL Server code seems to call functions that apparently exist in MSSQL but not in ASE. What follows is a standard error message mentioning Java (since you could have written function in Java which you're calling from SQL -- but 99.9% of the time that error message just means you're calling an unknown function).
Bottom line: don't expect the procedure from that web site ever to work in ASE.

SISS Oracle to SQL Server 2008 Unicode Conversion

Before you close me for a duplicate. I know there is a work around for this at the link below.
My question is: why is this "suddenly" happening? I work at company and we have probably 40+ dts packages running regularly. None have ever had this issue when going between our Oracle and SQL Server 2008 platforms.
I suspect it is because of some update to one of the platforms, or because we migrated to a new server for SQL Server.
Does anyone know what setting this would be that needs to be changed in order to avoid this?
Additionally, every package we create / edit throws warnings for this, however, every legacy package works just fine.
SSIS Package: convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types
You mention that you migrated to new SQL Server. I suspect that you also change architecture from 32-bit to 64-bit which can cause your problems.
To determine this is your case run your DTS/SSIS from command line using default dtexec from Program Files\...\Binn and second from Program Files(x86)\...\Binn.
Second you mentioned that your legacy dts works fine, try to delete their source adapter and recreate it and check if it'll cause your problem.
Possible solution: install 32-bit Oracle drivers and use them
from SQL Server Agent Job in tab Execution Options set Use 32 bit Runtime
Read carefully 64 bit Considerations for Integration Services
To fix this issue I used the connection type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle.
Note I did not have to install any special version
This alone did not fix the issue, I also had to edit my OLE DB Souce connection properties. Under Custom Properties is the choice for AlwaysUseDefaultCodePage. This is by default set to false, when I set it to true this fixed my issue. I have not seen this error come back since.

Why GetDate() shows current date - 2 days on MSSQL server? [duplicate]

I have strange effects when retrieving columns of type DATE from SQLServer2008 using the Microsoft JDBC-Driver version 3.0 when running under the official Oracle JDK 1.7.0. Host OS is Windows Server 2003.
All Date columns are retrieved as two days in the past with respect to the value actually stored in the column.
I cooked up a minimal code example the test this out (Test table and data):
CREATE TABLE Java7DateTest (
dateColumn DATE
);
INSERT INTO Java7DateTest VALUES('2011-10-10');
Code:
public class Java7SQLDateTest {
public static void main(final String[] argv) {
try {
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:sqlserver://192.168.0.1:1433;databaseName=dbNameHere",
"user", "password");
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM Java7DateTest");
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
while (resultSet.next()) {
final java.sql.Date date = resultSet.getDate("dateColumn");
final String str = resultSet.getString("dateColumn");
System.out.println(date + " (raw: " + str + ")");
}
resultSet.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
} catch (final Throwable t) {
throw new RuntimeException(t.getMessage(), t);
}
}
}
Running this code on above configuration prints: "2011-10-08 (raw: 2011-10-08)".
Under JRE 1.6.0_27 it prints: "2011-10-10 (raw: 2011-10-10)"
I could not find anything that seems to relate to my problem with google, so I'm assuming that its either something stupid I overlooked or nobody is using Java7 yet.
Can anybody confirm this problem? What are my alternatives if I still want to use Java7?
Edit: The problem occurs even when running with -Xint, so its not caused by Hotspot bugs.
Edit2: Old drivers (Microsoft 1.28) work properly with JDK1.7.0 (we were using that driver until maybe two years ago, I think).
jTDS also works perfectly fine with the example. I am considering switching to jTDS, but I am reluctant to do so because I have not the faintest idea what the effects on our productive environment may be. Ideally it should just work, but that what I believed when I switched my dev box to Java7, too.
There is one pretty fat database in the production environment, that is too big to create a copy of, for testing (or rather our server has so little disk left). So setting up a test environment for that one app is not straigthforward, I would have to stitch up a shrinked database for that.
Edit3: jTDS has its own set of catches attached. I found a behavioral difference that breaks one of our applications. ResultSet.getObject() returns different object types for SmallInt columns depending on driver (Short vs Integer). Also jTDS does not implement JDBC4 Connection interface, Connect.isValid() is not supported.
Edit4: I noticed last week that MSSQL-JDBC 3.0 refuses to connect to any DB after I updated to JDK1.6.0_29. jTDS it is then... we switched the productive server yesterday (I fixed tow places where the application was relying on peculiarities of the driver), and so far we had have no problems.
Thank you for your feedback. The Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server does not yet support JRE 1.7.
We are aware of the getDate issue between our JDBC driver & JRE 1.7 and we are looking into publishing a hotfix to enable customers to move forward with non-production testing of our driver with JRE 1.7.
We will publish a link to the hotfix on our blog once available.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jdbcteam/
The hotfix is now available. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jdbcteam/archive/2012/01/20/hotfix-available-for-date-issue-when-using-jre-1-7.aspx
Our blog also contains information on the known issues with JRE 1.6u29 & 1.6u30.

Program Manager - Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server
I don't quite have an answer for you. But, I've recreated your situation as you described. It is the same with the jdbc driver v3.101 and v3.202 and v4.ctp3 when run under jdk1.7. However, the v2 driver from MS gives your expected answer both under jdk1.6 and jdk1.7. If you need a quick fix and can move to an older jdbc driver, that may work for you.
Other thoughts are on how the MS jdbc driver handles dates and conversion of Date objects between SQL Server and the jvm. Since the storage of the date is without a time zone, the interpretation of the Date object by the driver is based on the default time zone for the machine running the jdbc driver. For instance, if you store a smalldate of '2011-10-11 12:00' and retrieve it from a machine with the default time zone set to GMT-7 then the resulting UTC time of the Date object would be '2011-10-11 19:00'. It could be that there is some change in jdk1.7 that impacts this conversion process in the driver resulting in a wild offset. You might experiment with the ResultSet.getDate(column, Calendar) method to see if a Calendar with a specific time zone gets you the result you want or helps make sense of why you are seeing the strange offset in the conversion.
I don't have a SQL Server setup, but I can't reproduce your problem with PostgreSQL 9.0 and MySQL 5.1 on Windows 7 x64 with JDK 1.7.0. So JDK 1.7.0 can be excluded from being suspect. I have the impression that the SQL Server JDBC driver is to blame here. I'd suggest to use the jTDS JDBC driver instead. It has always been praised for its better performance and stability as opposed to the MS-provided SQL Server JDBC driver.
Information and download link for the hotpatch from Microsoft Support can be found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2652061
I was experiencing the same issue, where the date would be off by two days, and this hotpatch fixed it.
This is also an issue in OpenJDK 1.6.0_20. However, the mssql driver works fine with Suns JRE 1.6.0_16.

Using nvarchar cfsqltype in coldfusion with jtds jdbc

Firstly, my cconfig is:
Language: ColdFusion 10(and installed update 11)
DB is MS SQL Server 2012
Using the jtds jdbc(tried versions 1.2.6, 1.2.8 and 1.3.0)
I'm currently having a problem running queries where I use cfqueryparam with a cfsqltype of cf_sql_nvarchar. The problem is the page just hangs. If I look at the application log of ColdFusion, I see the error of:
"net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.JtdsPreparedStatement.setNString(ILjava/lang/String;)V The specific sequence of files included or processed is:" followed by the test filename.
I'm running a very basic select query on a nvarchar column, but the page doesn't load and that error is logged.
I know it's gotta be something to do with the jtds jdbc as if I connect through the regular sql driver it'll work perfectly.
So did anybody experience this before? If so, what was your resolution?
Thanks
I did a quick search and the results suggest jtds does not support setNString(). I checked the driver source for 1.3.1, and as mentioned in the comments here the method is not implemented:
"..while getNString is implemented the code just consists of // TODO
Auto-generated method stub and throw new AbstractMethodError();.."
So it sounds like you may need to use cf_sql_varchar, combined with the "String Format" setting, like in previous versions. Obviously, the other option is to use a different driver (one that does support setNString(), such as Adobe's driver or the MS SQL Server driver).
Try using cf_sql_varchar. cf_sql_nvarchar is not a valid option according to the Documentation and you should use cf_sql_varchar

Problem calling stored procedure from another stored procedure via classic ASP

We have a classic ASP application that simply works and we have been loathe to modify the code lest we invoke the wrath of some long-dead Greek gods.
We recently had the requirement to add a feature to an application. The feature implementation is really just a database operation requires minimal change to the UI.
I changed the UI and made the minor modification to submit a new data value to the sproc call (sproc1).
In sproc1 that is called directly from ASP, we added a new call to another sproc that happens to be located on another server, sproc2.
Somehow, this does not work via our ASP app, but works in SQL Management Studio.
Here's the technical details:
SQL 2005 on both database servers.
Sql Login is authenticating from the ASP application to SQL 2005 Server 1.
Linked server from Server 1 to Server 2 is working.
When executing sproc1 from SQL Management Studio - works fine. Even when credentialed as the same user our code uses (the application sql login).
sproc2 works when called independently of sproc1 from SQL Management Studio.
VBScript (ASP) captures an error which is emitted in the XML back to the client. Error number is 0, error description is blank. Both from the ADODB.Connection object and from whatever Err.Number/Err.Description yields in VBScript from the ASP side.
So without any errors, nor any reproducibility (i.e. through SQL Mgmt Studio) - does anyone know the issue?
Our current plan is to break down and dig into the code on the ASP side and make a completely separate call to Server 2.sproc2 directly from ASP rather than trying to piggy-back through sproc1.
Have you got set nocount on set in both stored procedures? I had a similar issue once and whilst I can't remember exactly how I solved it at the moment, I know that had something to do with it!
You could be suffering from the double-hop problem
The double-hop issue is when the ASP/X page tries to use resources that are located on a server that is different from the IIS server.
Windows NT Challenge/Response does not support double-hop impersonations (in that once passed to the IIS server, the same credentials cannot be passed to a back-end server for authentication).
You should verify the attempted second connection using SQL Profiler.
Note that with your manual testing you are not authenticating via IIS. It's only when you initiate the sql via the ASP/X page that this problem manifests.

I had a similar problem and I solved it by setting nocount on and removing print commands.
My first reaction is that this might not be an issue of calling cross-server, but one of calling a second proc from a first, and that this might be what's acting differently in the two different environments.
My first question is this: what happens if you remove the cross-server aspect from the equation? If you could set up a test system where your first proc calls your second proc, but the second proc is on the same server and/or in the same database, do you still get the same problem?
Along these same lines: In my experience, when the application and SSMS have gotten different results like that, it has often been an issue of the stored procedures' settings. It could be, as Luke says, NOCOUNT. I've had this sort of thing happen from extraneous PRINT statements in the code, although I seem to remember the PRINTed value becoming part of the error description (very counterintuitively).
If anything is returned in the Messages window when you run this in SSMS, find out where it is coming from and make it stop. I would have to look up the technical terms, but my recollection is that different querying environments have different sensitivities to "errors", and that a default connection via SSSM will not throw an error at certain times when an ADO connection from a scripting language will.
One final thought: in case it is an environment thing, try different settings on your ASP page's connection string. E.g., if you have an OLEDB connection, try ODBC. Try the native and non-native SQL Server drivers. Check out what connection string options your provider supports, and try any of them that seem like they might be worth trying.
Example code might help :) Are you trying to return two tables from the stored procedure; I don't think ADO 2.6 can handle multiple tables being returned.
I did consider that (double-hop), but what is the difference between a sproc-in-a-sproc call like I am referring to vs. a typical cross-server join via INNER JOIN? Both would be executed on Server1, using the Linked Server credentials, and authenticating to Server 2.
Can anyone confirm that calling a sproc cross-server is different than doing a join on data tables? And why?
If the Linked Server config is a sql account - is that considered a double-hop (since what you refer to is NTLM double-hops?)
In terms of whether multiple resultsets are coming back - no. Both Server1.Sproc1 and Server2.Sproc2 would be "ExecuteNonQuery()" in the .net world and return nothing (no resultsets and no return values).
Try to check the permissions to the database for the user specified in the connection string.
Use the same user name in the connection string to log in to the database while using sql mgmt studio.
create some temporary table to write the intermediate values and exceptions since it can be a effective way of debugging your application.
Can I just check: You made the addition of sproc2? Prior to that it was working fine for ages.
Could you not change where you call sproc2 from? Rather than calling it from inside sproc1, can you call it from the ASP? That way you control the authentication to SQL in the code, and don't have to rely on setting up any trusts or shared remote authentication on the servers.
How is your linked server set up? You generally have some options as to how it authenticates to the remote server, which include logging in as the currently logged in user or specifying a SQL login to always use. Have you tried setting it to always use a specific account? That should eliminate any possible permissions issues in calling the remote procedure...
