ODBC Data Source Errors

The ODBC data source error format and its solution.

This type of error occurs in the datasource and includes the data store name, as shown in this format:
[vendor] [ODBC_component] [data_store] message
where:
  • vendor is the name of the ODBC vendor.

  • ODBC_component is the component that received the message from the data store indicated.

  • data_store is the name of the location in the datasource where the error occurred.

  • message is the content of the error message.

For example, you may receive this message from an Oracle data store:
[DataDirect] [ODBC Oracle driver] [Oracle] ORA-0919: specified length too long for CHAR column.

If you receive this type of error, check your database system documentation for more information, or consult your database administrator. In this example, you need to check your Oracle documentation.
