Invalid string or buffer length!!!!
-
I am reading a text file into a temptable, then opening a cursor to read through the temptable.
When i execute my procedure from SQL server, all is fine, but when i do it throught another application that calls the procedure, i get the error:
ODBC Driver - S1090 -
Invalid string or buffer length
i really dunno how to solve that especially that when i run it alone it works!
declare
@oneline varchar(8000)
CREATE
TABLE #textfile (line varchar(8000))
BULK INSERT #textfile FROM 'D:\websites\neolane\www\Import\init_newsl.txt'
DECLARE table_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT line FROM #textfile
OPEN table_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM table_cursor INTO @oneline
IF (@@FETCH_STATUS = -1)
-- my code
END
...... help please!!!!

What is the driver you are using? I would review this first.
-
the thing is that I am executing the procedure through an application that automatically connects, and I cannot choose the connection type...
Does that mean a dead end???
-
Right, but if you know what driver the connection is using you can find out if it is the driver has a bug or an updated version then update the driver or procedure accordingly.
-
what i did is that i changed the way of calling the procedure from
Go
exec dbname..sp_importNewsletter
Go
to
use dbname
Go
exec sp_importNewsletter
Go
apparently the user in the application is not a dbo. The previous error is gone
but another one appeared saying that i cannot use BULK INSERT 
so now i have to know how to give the right to that user to use bulk insert while i dont even know what user it is!!! arghhhhh
-
On a side not I would also review using "sp_" when writing user procedures as far as a small cost in performance with contect switching, proc cache hit ratio, etc...
-
well am not very pro in that, i didn't quiet understand what u mean by not using sp_
what would that change in the fact that the user doesnt have the right to execute that command throught the application

This article talks about sp_ and procedure cache and the impact.
