Problems with sqllink.exe - please help

[henriklauritzen]

What is wrong with my setup??

 

DNS:

 

Goto “Control Panel->Performance and Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Data Sources (ODBC)”

 

I select "User DSN" and adds a new DNS that connects to my mysql database. If I test the connection - I get 'success connection is made' from the ODBC Data Sources administrator.

The DNS is named IVRDNS

 

I call the sqllink.exe with:

 

line 1. IVRDNS

line 2. insert into IVR (q1) values(1)

 

Table is called IVR + there is a column called q1 present in the table (INTEGER)

 

Log-file shows

Run plugin: "C:\Documenter and settings\henrik\skrivebord\ivr lyd\sqllink.exe to plugin" IVRDNS "insert into IVR (q1) values(1)"

 

But I keep getting an error in return. If I use a system DNS + .asp-page on localhost - the "insert into IVR (q1) values(1)" inserts a row in the IVR database without any problems.

 

Any ideas what I am doing wrong??

Hi,

 

I also tried to use this sqllink.exe but without any success.

Meanwhile I've written a little VB-script which works fine with an MySQL database.

 

It is also capable to execute selects, deletes, updates and to perform next and previous actions, just in case a select statement delivers more than one record.

 

Just let me know, if you interested in it. Could provide it by email or something.

 

regards

Tjareson.

Hello Boy

I so think that NCH SQLLink plugin is not useful for most users.

I get SQLLink source from NCH but it was in c language and I am a VB programmer.

In my language this work is very easy but NCH don't determine a way for exporting result of VB project to IVM so I write result as text stream into a text file and read it by getdatax.exe plugin.

Best regards

Just a suggestion...

 

we experienced similar problems, but the problem was due to firewall blocks. When using external plug-ins always be sure the connection is not being blocked.

 

Bye,

Hi Guys,

I have been using SQLlink plugin for my IVR that is connected with MSSQL server 2005 and so far it works like a charm. I have to admit that it's quite difficult to get it running properly but after a while a got the hang of it.

Try the following

1)First of all make sure that your firewall is not blocking any of the ports that SQLlink will be using and/or processes. Some software firewalls will even prevent sqllink to have access to local resources. I would recommend setting up sqllink with no firewall on and once u're done , re-enable it and configure it accordingly.

 

2) If you have your databaseon a different server, make the firewalls on that server is not blocking sqllink from accessing its ports

 

3) The "user DSN" will only work for the Simulator. You have to create a "system DSN" to allow other extensions or outside calls to interact with DB. NCH should really add that information on their plugin files/webpage.

 

SQLlink is quite limited actually. It will not allow long SQL statements and will only return one data row. If this is limitation for you , you could try the other scripts created by other users .

 

Good luck on your project !!!
