Re: [Seed7-users] Seed7 - DB2 Backslash-Test Error

[Thomas M. <mer...@gm...>]

Hi Zachary,

The statement "SELECT '\\\\'" is on purpose.
MySQL databases might allow a backslash as escape character in string
literals (in a prepared statement).
This depends on the setting of a MySQL database.
The statement should determine if backslash is an escape character or not.
As such it should never trigger a DATABASE_ERROR.
If something goes wrong the backslash is obviously not an escape character.

I just commited "Introduce doPrepare() and doExecute()"
(see: https://github.com/ThomasMertes/seed7/commit/d3a24aaef0179b0031e9cbcb864b5f1bc243a244
).

With this commit the statement "SELECT '\\\\'" is prepared with
doPrepare() and executed with doExecute().
These functions do not raise a DATABASE_ERROR if something fails.

Please test accessing DB2 again with this FIX and tell me the results.

Best regards
Thomas
