OLEDB command gets compile errors but works in Query analyzer.

The following statement is valid in query analyzer but will not compile as a prepared statement in an OLEDB command in DTS 2005.

delete
from
purEncumbrance_Fct
where
AgreementId = ?
and FundId = ?
and AccountId = ?
and coalesce(PODistributionId,0) = coalesce(?,0)
and coalesce(VoucherDistributionId,0) = coalesce(?,0)

Why does this statement not compile?

KenTry putting square brackets around the table and column names. I have a vague recollection of this working for me in the dim and distant past.

-Jamie|||Jamie,

I tried your suggestion with great hopes, but it did not work.

I wonder if this is a bug or a limitation with prepared statements. I know this command works in query analyzer, so maybe if I place it in a stored procedure it will work. I don't want to have to manage another piece of code, but if that is what it takes, I will.|||Not tested, but I know the statement prepare stuff and OLE-DB parameters can be rather fussy. Try loosing the coalesce(?, 0) and just use ?. Assuming that works, handle the coalesce values through a derived column, e.g.

ISNULL(Column) ? 0 : Column
