You need to make sure that the client tool that you are using is aware of
the fact that you want this to be a pass-through query. If not, then ODBC
will try to evaluate the query, instead of passing it through to the dbms.
If you are using ADO or something, set the QueryType (or something) property
to SQLPassThrough. I can't remember the exact names and properties, but
look in the VB or ADO help for SQLPassThrough, or CursorType, and read up.
The main thing is to get ODBC to just hand the query over to the dbms
without trying to evaluate it.
