ODBC Driver Errors

The ODBC driver error format and its solution.

The format of an error reported on an ODBC driver is:

[vendor] [ODBC_component] message

where:

  • vendor is the name of the ODBC vendor.

  • ODBC_component is the component in which the error occurred.

  • message is the content of the error message.

For example, an error message from the DataDirect SQL Server driver looks similar to:

[DataDirect] [ODBC SQL Server driver] Invalid precision specified.

If you receive this type of error, check the last ODBC call made by your application for possible problems, or contact your ODBC application vendor.
