Hi,
Here's my problem of the day ...
I've got a very simple table, just two columns and about 10 rows. In
fact here's the entire table:
Parameter Value
Budget 50000
NumberOfRows 10
NumberOfColumns 10
Layers 7
SampleFraction 0.5
RealLength 1
ScreenLength 40
ScalingFactor 0.025
Xoffset 20
Yoffset 40
MinimumDigUnits 30
Items are separated by a TAB character. This table is defined as
Parameter which is a string indexed, and Value which is a string. I
have a generic piece of code that reads and builds all my tables, so
I assume that the creation is being done correctly. And, most
importantly, when I open the resulting database in Valentina Studio,
it shows me the names Parameter and Value, and all the values look
fine.
However, when I programatically try get all the data using:
cursor = DB.SqlQuery("SELECT Parameter, Value from " & theTableName)
(I have used this syntax on many other tables successfully)
The resulting list is this:
-- [#rowsChanged: 0, #errNumber: 0, #errNumberHex: "0x0", #errString:
<Void>, #columns: [#Parameter, #No_name2], #rows: [["Budget",
<Null>], ["NumberOfRows", <Null>], ["NumberOfColumns", <Null>],
["Layers", <Null>], ["SampleFraction", <Null>], ["RealLength",
<Null>], ["ScreenLength", <Null>], ["ScalingFactor", <Null>],
["Xoffset", <Null>], ["Yoffset", <Null>], ["MinimumDigUnits",
<Null>]]]
The second column should be #Value, but comes back as #No_name2.
And the data for that column in every record is <Null>.
What could be causing this? Is "Value" some type of special keyword in SQL?
