Execute SQL Server Pass-Through Query From Access VBA - sql

I have an UPDATE pass through query saved in Access 2007. When I double-click on the pass through query it runs successfully. How can I get this query to run from VBA? I'd like it to run when my "splash screen" loads.
I'm currently using the following code:
CurrentDb.Execute "Q_UPDATE_PASSTHROUGH", dbSQLPassThrough
But I get the following message:
The pass-through query contains all the connection information and I've confirmed the SQL syntax is correct by running it multiple times, so not sure what I'm missing in my VBA call.

Use the QueryDef's Execute method:
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("Q_UPDATE_PASSTHROUGH").Execute
I don't think you should need to explicitly include the dbSQLPassThrough option here, but you can try like this if you want it:
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("Q_UPDATE_PASSTHROUGH").Execute dbSQLPassThrough

I recently ran into the same problem. While the above mentioned Execute method is working for most cases, some people (me included) experiencing a Run-time error '3001': Invalid Argument when using the parameter dbSQLPassThrough. This was also addressed in the answer above me and happens even in the simplest SQL-statements.
For those who are having the same problem, I recommend using the OpenQuery method as alternative.
A valid substitution for the following code
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("Q_UPDATE_PASSTHROUGH").Execute
would be
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Q_UPDATE_PASSTHROUGH"
I know this thread is 4 years old, however, searching for a solution for the not working Execute method on Google brings you directly to this thread which is why I thought it would be useful to add an alternative solution which solved this problem for me.

I confirm that the QueryDef's Execute method is the recommended way to achieve your goal.
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("Q_UPDATE_PASSTHROUGH").Execute
However, I can point out that in a similar case with Access 2010, using dbSQLPassThrough for the Options parameter caused a Run-time error '3001': Invalid Argument.

Illegal character in query when doing a conditional GET with multiple parameters

While using Karate DSL version 0.9.2, I can send a conditional get with multiple parameters with no problem.
Something like 'Given path 'get?condition=payment_plan='B' and equal_paymnt_flg='D''', will work perfectly fine.
However on version 1.0.1 the same will produce an error, Illegal character in query at index 84, and the call will fail.
Any ideas why?
Please try 1.1.0.RC4 and if there is still a problem it can be a bug we need to fix.

Enable Impala Impersonation on Superset

Is there a way to make the logged user (on superset) to make the queries on impala?
I tried to enable the "Impersonate the logged on user" option on Databases but with no success because all the queries run on impala with superset user.
I'm trying to achieve the same! This will not completely answer this question since it does not still work but I want to share my research in order to maybe help another soul that is trying to use this instrument outside very basic use cases.
I went deep in the code and I found out that impersonation is not implemented for Impala. So you cannot achieve this from the UI. I found out this PR https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/4699 that for whatever reason was never merged into the codebase and tried to copy&paste code in my Superset version (1.1.0) but it didn't work. Adding some logs I can see that the configuration with the impersonation is updated, but then the actual Impala query is with the user I used to start the process.
As you can imagine, I am a complete noob at this. However I found out that the impersonation thing happens when you create a cursor and there is a constructor parameter in which you can pass the impersonation configuration.
I managed to correctly (at least to my understanding) implement impersonation for the SQL lab part.
In the sql_lab.py class you have to add in the execute_sql_statements method the following lines
with closing(engine.raw_connection()) as conn:
# closing the connection closes the cursor as well
cursor = conn.cursor(**database.cursor_kwargs)
where cursor_kwargs is defined in db_engine_specs/impala.py as the following
#classmethod
def get_configuration_for_impersonation(cls, uri, impersonate_user, username):
logger.info(
'Passing Impala execution_options.cursor_configuration for impersonation')
return {'execution_options': {
'cursor_configuration': {'impala.doas.user': username}}}
#classmethod
def get_cursor_configuration_for_impersonation(cls, uri, impersonate_user,
username):
logger.debug('Passing Impala cursor configuration for impersonation')
return {'configuration': {'impala.doas.user': username}}
Finally, in models/core.py you have to add the following bit in the get_sqla_engine def
params = extra.get("engine_params", {}) # that was already there just for you to find out the line
self.cursor_kwargs = self.db_engine_spec.get_cursor_configuration_for_impersonation(
str(url), self.impersonate_user, effective_username) # this is the line I added
...
params.update(self.get_encrypted_extra()) # already there
#new stuff
configuration = {}
configuration.update(
self.db_engine_spec.get_configuration_for_impersonation(
str(url),
self.impersonate_user,
effective_username))
if configuration:
params.update(configuration)
As you can see I just shamelessy pasted the code from the PR. However this kind of works only for the SQL lab as I already said. For the dashboards there is an entirely different way of querying Impala that I did not still find out.
This means that queries for the dashboards are handled in a different way and there isn't something like this
with closing(engine.raw_connection()) as conn:
# closing the connection closes the cursor as well
cursor = conn.cursor(**database.cursor_kwargs)
My gut (and debugging) feeling is that you need to first understand the sqlalchemy part and extend a new ImpalaEngine class that uses a custom cursor with the impersonation conf. Or something like that, however it is not simple (if we want to call this simple) as the sql_lab part. So, the trick is to find out where the query is executed and create a cursor with the impersonation configuration. Easy, isnt'it ?
I hope that this could shed some light to you and the others that have this issue. Let me know if you did find out another way to solve this issue, or if this comment was useful.
Update: something really useful
A colleague of mine succesfully implemented impersonation with impala without touching any superset related, but instead working directly with the impyla lib. A PR was open with the code to change. You can apply the patch directly in the impyla src used by superset. You have to edit both dbapi.py and hiveserver2.py.
As a reminder: we are still testing this and we do not know if it works with different accounts using the same superset instance.

Asterisk dial command return dialed number

I'm looking for a variable that can tell me which number 'won' the call on a multi-target Dial command.
Example:
Dial(SIP/1000&SIP/1001&SIP/1002,30)
Set(the_unlucky_winner=${...})
I'm not getting anything from the ${DIALEDPEERx} variables. Sounds like these vars are broken but I don't know if this is what I should be using.
Ancient version 1.2.14 deployed at this site. All clients are SIP
Thanks anyone
Only realistic way do that - cal via Local channle like freepbx do(check freepbx.org source) or use Macro on answer(i am afraid not work in 1.2)
Parse the contents of the CDR record for the file. One of the fields is dstchannel which will hold a value like SIP/1002-9786b0b0.
Also keep in mind that the call variable stack is wiped on hangup, unless you have an "h" (hangup) extension defined for the context. So, you can most easily handle your post-call processing there.

Please Note:
if this answer turns out to solve your problem, please "accept" it for the benefit of others trying to solve the same problem later
Hi all I have a solution to this problem. It is working fine for both normal dial and multi target dial.
In dialstring add a macro, here I am adding "followme" macro.
M(followme)
$agi->exec("dial", "SIP/6001#sip.example.com&SIP/6002#sip.example.com,rtTgM(followme)");
Then after call is answered it ll go to context
[macro-followme]
In this context you write one script to get the connected calls information by
$dstchannel=$agi->get_variable("DIALEDPEERNUMBER");
The way I managed to do it is as follows
Dial(SIP/1000&SIP/1001&SIP/1002,30,M(whoanswered))
[macro-whoanswered]
exten => s,1,NoOp(${CHANNEL})
You will see that the actual extension that answered is containes in ${CHANNEL}
If 1001 answered the channel will be something like SIP/1001-00017cf1
Just use the CUT command to cut it by / and -

DB Query no longer recognizes SQL parameters in existing application when debugging in VS2010

I just started working with an application that I inherited from someone else and I'm having some issues. The application is written in C# and runs in VS2010 against the 3.5 framework. I can't run the application on my machine to debug because it will not recognize the way they referenced their parameters when writing their DB queries.
For instance wherever they have a SQL or DB2 query it is written like this:
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
"SELECT Field1 FROM Table1 WHERE FieldID=#FieldID", SQLconnection))
{
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("FieldID", 10000);
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
...
If you will notice the "parameters.AddWithValue("FieldID", 10000);" statement does not include the "#" symbol from the original command text. When I run it on my machine I get an error message stating that the parameter "FieldID" could not be found.
I change this line:
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("FieldID", 10000);
To this:
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#FieldID", 10000);
And all is well... until it hits the next SQL call and bombs out with the same error. Obviously this must be a setting within visual studio, but I can't find anything about it on the internet. Half the examples for SQL parameter addition are written including the "#" and the other half do not include it. Most likely I just don't know what to search for.
Last choice is to change every query over to use the "#" at the front of the parameter name, but this is the transportation and operations application used to manage the corporation's shipments and literally has thousands of parameters. Hard to explain the ROI on your project when the answer to the director's question "How's progress?" happens to be "I've been hard at it for a week and I've almost started."
Has anyone run into this problem, or do you know how to turn this setting off so it can resolve the parameter names without the "#"?
Success! System.Data is automatically imported whenever you create a .NET solution. I removed this reference and added it back to make sure that I had the latest version of this library and that fixed the issue. I must have had an old version of this library that was originally pulled in... only thing I can figure.
Its handled by the .NET Framework data providers not Visual Studio.
It depends on the data source. Look here:Working with Parameter Placeholders
You can try working with System.Data.Odbc provider and using the question mark (?) place holder. In thios case dont forget to add the parameters in the same order they are in the query.

Problem during SQL Bulk Load

we've got a real confusing problem. We're trying to test an SQL Bulk Load using a little app we've written that passes in the datafile XML, the schema, and the SQL database connection string.
It's a very straight-forward app, here's the main part of the code:
SQLXMLBULKLOADLib.SQLXMLBulkLoad4Class objBL = new SQLXMLBULKLOADLib.SQLXMLBulkLoad4Class();
objBL.ConnectionString = "provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SERVER\\SERVER; Database=Main;User Id=Username;Password=password;";
objBL.BulkLoad = true;
objBL.CheckConstraints = true;
objBL.ErrorLogFile = "error.xml";
objBL.KeepIdentity = false;
objBL.Execute("schema.xml", "data.xml");
As you can see, it's very simple but we're getting the following error from the library we're passing this stuff to: Interop.SQLXMLBULKLOADLib.dll.
The message reads:
Failure: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted
We have no idea what's causing it or what it even means.
Before this we first had an error because SQLXML4.0 wasn't installed, so that was easy to fix. Then there was an error because it couldn't connect to the database (wrong connection string) - fixed. Now there's this and we are just baffled.
Thanks for any help. We're really scratching our heads!
I am not familiar with this particular utility (Interop.SQLXMLBULKLOADLib.dll), but have you checked that your XML validates to its schema .xsd file? Perhaps the dll could have issues with loading the xml data file into memory structures if it is invalid?
I try to understand your problem ,but i have more doubt in that,
If u have time try access the below link ,i think it will definitely useful for you

I know I did something that raised this error message once, but (as often happens) the problem ended up having nothing to do with the error message. Not much help, alas.
Some troubleshooting ideas: try to determine the actual SQL command being generated and submitted by the application to SQL Server (SQL Profiler should help here), and run it as "close" to the database as possible--from within SSMS, using SQLCMD, direct BCP call, whatever is appropriate. Detailing all tests you make and the results you get may help.
