PRB: Couldn't Find Object on Recordset for Predefined Query

Q131401

1.50 1.51 1.52 1.52a WINDOWS kbusage kbprb --------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) included with: Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, versions 1.50, 1.51, 1.52, 1.52a --------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When using the MFC database classes and trying to open a snapshot recordset for a Microsoft Access version 2.0 predefined query, a database exception is thrown, and the following error message is seen in the output window: Couldn't find object '|'. State:S0002[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 2.0 Driver] CAUSE ===== The MFC encylopedia article "Recordset: Declaring a Class for a Predefined Query" discusses how to make a CRecordset class that opens a predefined query. It mentions that the database classes don't support updating predefined queries. It doesn't explicitly mention that you have to open your recordset as read-only, but you should. If a recordset is opened as a snapshot without specifying a read-only recordset, the database classes append the string "FOR UPDATE OF" to the end of the SQL statement that defines a query. This added phrase is invalid in a SQL statement that uses the CALL keyword to execute a predefined query. RESOLUTION ========== To avoid this problem, open the recordset as read-only by specifying CRecordset::readOnly as the third parameter to the CRecordset::Open() function. Your open function should look something like this: myRecordset.Open(CRecordset::snapshot, // open as snapshot "{call MyQuery}", // call predefined query CRecordset::readOnly); // must be read-only! STATUS ====== This behavior is by design. REFERENCES ========== MFC Encyclopedia Article, "Recordset: Declaring a Class for a Predefined Query.
