Description shrek-m 2003-02-22 16:58:02 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030206

Description of problem:
openofffice-datasources

it is possible to create new tables
but it ends everytime with different sql-syntax-errors while "create new
records, insert".
"update" works sometimes


the  "privileges"  are correct:
open a sql-statement window
type the correct statements without ending ";"
there are absolutely no problems!
eg.
insert into tab_1 values ("1","test1")

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  create a new table (gui)
2.  try to insert a new record
3.  update an existing record
    

Actual Results:  [unixODBC][TCX][MyODBC]Column count doesn�t match
value count at row 1
- sql-syntax-error

Expected Results:  all should work

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2004-10-28 12:16:19 UTC
caolanm->shrek-m: Is this still the case with a contemporary
OpenOffice.org ?

Comment 2 shrek-m 2004-11-20 19:30:45 UTC
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg)
$ rpm -q openoffice.org unixODBC mysql mysql-server
openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.5.fc3
unixODBC-2.2.9-1
mysql-3.23.58-13
mysql-server-3.23.58-13


- create a new userDSN with
$ ODBCConfig

- create a new dadasource (MySQL or ODBC)

- create a new table (without primary key)
OOo will create a primary key

- insert data
for each new row i have to close the connection
"Fehler beim Einfügen des neuen Datensatzes
[unixODBC][TCX\MyODBC] You have an error in your SQL syntax near
00000000000e+01' at line 1"

- changing existing entries is possible

-------
OOPS,
LANG=C oowriter    /*all is OK*/
LANG=de_DE oowriter    /*"ERROR*/


$ env | grep LANG
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

it seems that the LANG is the problem

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2004-12-02 13:09:15 UTC
Argh!, I found it. A problem with setlocale in MyODBC.

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2004-12-02 13:10:15 UTC
Created attachment 107765 [details]
patch to fix MyODBC

setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,"English") -> setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,"C");

Comment 5 Tom Lane 2004-12-02 16:20:03 UTC
My, that's ugly :-( ... will fix.  Thanks for the detective work!

Comment 6 Tom Lane 2004-12-08 20:57:21 UTC
Caolan, how far back are we supporting OpenOffice?  I'm wondering
which releases I need to put this fix into ...

Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2004-12-09 08:48:15 UTC
Each OOo update we do we push simultaneously for FC2/FC3/RHEl-4/rawhide

Comment 8 Tom Lane 2004-12-10 22:54:38 UTC
I've pushed this fix into fc2, fc3, and rawhide, but it's too late for
RHEL4 :-( ... it'll have to go into U1.

I'll leave the bug report open to remind me to do that when the U1
window opens.

Comment 10 Tom Lane 2005-07-20 19:39:43 UTC
Adjust bz entry to mention RHEL4.

Comment 13 Tom Lane 2005-08-11 03:47:15 UTC
Just for completeness, this problem was reported to MySQL some time ago, and only partially fixed:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=371

Comment 18 shrek-m 2006-04-18 21:58:07 UTC
