So at my company we use a billing system which connects to a Firebird database that we have no back-end access to. I am quite new at this company so my familiarity with the Firebird database is not too great. We keep getting this error :
ERROR: Database Engine Error
Sender Class: TGLPreviewBtn
Exception Class: EIBODBError.
IBO ErrorERRCODE=335544569 SQLCODE=-204
Error Message:
ISC ERROR CODE:335544569
ISC ERROR MESSAGE:
Dynamic SQL Error
SQL error code = -204
Procedure unknown
GET_SUB_CONTACTLIST
At line 3, column 60
This has been a recurring thing since I've been hired (I've been here for about 45 days), and we've reported this error to the company which hosts the billing system that we use to access the database. The company keeps saying that it's a network issue on our end, however I cannot see any indication of a connection drop on our end.
I have to reiterate that we have no back-end access to this database so I have no way of going to see what GET_SUB_CONTACTLIST even refers to.
Any help will be appreciated, I am just out of college and this is my first job in a position like this so I will use this as a great learning experience.
This cannot be a network error on your end. The error literally means that Firebird was asked to execute a stored procedure called GET_SUB_CONTACTLIST, and that stored procedure does not exist at that time.
So either someone (or something) is creating and dropping stored procedures on the fly, or part of the application is calling a stored procedure that simply does not exist.
As an aside: error 335544569 (aka isc_dsql_error) covers a broad range of error conditions with 'dynamic' SQL (in other words: most SQL related errors...), unfortunately a lot of client libraries do not communicate the more specific error code 335544581 (or isc_dsql_procedure_err).

So I'm doing an exercise for class and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding this particular database that I'm meant to break into blindly.
The database throws the following error with the string:
x'
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated
showing that it is vulnerable.
Similarly, the database concatenates fine with a valid input aka valid'||'input returns the correct webpage for the input.
What confuses me is that the database does not throw an error when the input x' -- is entered, but when the input x'; -- is entered the db throws the following error:
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-00911: invalid character
I've also tried URL encoding the input so that it reads x'%3b+-- or x'%3b -- but it returns the same result.
Does anyone have any clue where to step next since it seems that I can't inject a semicolon ; into a query?
Everything's an Edit Below This:
Edit 1: I got to thinking and thought I might be inside of a parenthetical block. I tried the input x'); and it produces the following error:
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Edit 2:
Found out that the statement validinput'order by 52-- produced a result, but validinput'order by 53-- produced an error. I concluded the table has 52 columns.
I'm attempting validinput' union select 1 from table_name now, but it feels largely like a huge guessing game. I don't know what any of the table names could possibly be.
Edit 3:
My brain is honestly hurting at this point but I think I'm almost there...
The statement
validnum'+union+select+null,2,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null+from+dual--
returned a legitimate page
Edit 4:
Followed Jeffrey Kemp's suggestion and I got a single table (the output seems to be limited to 1 row). Uh oh. More information though, the version is Oracle 9i, and I know the database name plus user name, and few of the tables through blind luck. The goal of the exercise is to change a value in one of the tables. However, I've run into difficulty getting the column names since the output is limited to 1 row. Any suggestions?
I've made a very simple database and am trying
select * from klant;
I've verified the table exists, and last week was able to see data in it. Today however I keep getting
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 42S02
Dynamic SQL Error
-SQL error code = -204
-Table unknown
-KLANT
-At line 1, column 15
The same select query in flameRobin gives the following error:
Error: *** IBPP::SQLException ***
Context: Database::Statistics
Message: isc_database_info failed
SQL Message : -902
can't format message 13:98 -- message file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\firebird.msg not found
Engine Code : 335544727
Engine Message :
Error writing data to the connection.
I have copied the firebird.msg to the system32 folder so it should be able to find it there.
Any pointers toward the solution would be greatly appreciated. Similar question all seem to point toward issues with transactions, I can't see that being the problem here.
Edit:
I'm using the included ISQL tool from firebird and start the session by connecting to the database that includes my table. Same for flamerobin, first connect to database, I can see the table that i want to select from but it gives this error.
Edit2:
Finally reinstalled Firebird making sure I gave it admin right, which I think it had before, but wasn't sure about. This seems to have fixed it.
Here's the code:
SQL = " DROP TABLE [H:\Archive23\SPX.accdb].[SPX_MissingTimes] "
MsgBox SQL
DoCmd.RunSQL SQL
This code ran without an error message for a week, then, after some changes in unrelated code following it, it started generating this message:
Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error '3295':
Syntax error in DROP TABLE or DROP INDEX.
This error message is generated AFTER later code has run, as proven by the fact that a later MsgBox call executes before the error message.
I call it a "false error message" because the code still works, deleting the table every time.
There are no other DROP statements involved in any code.
I have no idea where to start looking. Any ideas will be appreciated.
GSerg, thanks. Yes, it is a second, different MsgBox coded after DoCmd.Execute that pops up before the error message. This second msgbox displays the SQL statement for a make-table query which replaces the deleted table, and which is executed without incident. I probably should have mentioned: I am using Windows 10 and Access 2016 in a standalone installation (without the rest of Office). I have had no other strange problems. I have a suspicion this is related somehow to Access inner threading logic. Or maybe it's an Access "ghost" (it wouldn't be my first), which can be eliminated by creating a new blank database and importing everything form the afflicted one so start clean.
While refreshing Webi report I am getting an error:
A database error occured. The database error text is: (CS) "Unexpected behavior" . (WIS 10901)
All the objects are parsing in the universe and Server is also responding. What can be the possible reason?
We are also able to run query in the database using database client tool.
If the error message appears after the a long time it might just be a timeout issue.
Else, you could try to import a version of the report that works in CMS to your local drive, rename it and run again.
It can be caused by some special character in the data combined with the fact that the server language settings do not foresee such character and therefore Business Objects cannot parse it for presentation.
If that is the case you might need to configure an environment variable of the server (like NLS_LANG) setting it to a value such that those special characters in your data can be handled by Business Objects.
In my situation, the error appera when some objet from the data base has changed or does not exists anymore. So we need to delete this object in the Universe or be sure that the field exists in the data base with the same name and type.
I had same problem with my reports. After couple hour of "investigation", I found.
I create Object in my universe, and set inappropriate type of object data Number, when value in database have type Character.
It throw me oracle Error (ORA-01722), and Bussiness Object error (WIS 10901), though SQL copied from report creator interface, executed directly on database return proper data.
Hi I have a adp/SQL project running with my db.
Everything is ok but is there a way to customize error messages.
Example: read user cannot update one field so he receives the standard SQL error msg. Is there a way to make it more user friendly?
If you're using stored procedures, you can raise a custom error message, or you can have an output procedure that is returned with the error message.
If you're using direct sql syntax, then you can check the ADO error object and convert it to some sort of user defined error message.
Hope that helps
