Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
Trying to create a TEMPORARY SEQUENCE with ecpg produces
a runtime erorr. the sqlprint error is:
sql error 'ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "foo" at character 27'
in lin
A workaround is to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
exec sql include sqlca;
$ cat tmpseq.pgc
int main()
{
exec sql whenever sqlerror sqlprint;
exec sql connect to test;
exec sql create temporary sequence foo;
exec sql disconnect;
return 0;
}
Looking at the emitted C code we see:
{ ECPGdo(__LINE__, NULL, "create sequence temporary foo ", ECPGt_EOIT,
ECPGt_EORT);
Note that the tokens "sequence" and "temporary" have been reversed.
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
