I have embedded SQL in a fex. It is MS SQL Server. When I run the EXACT SQl is a TOAD editor agains the database I get different results than when running it from within FOCUS.

Oddly if I make my connect string UPPERCASE I get the same results as under TOAD.

Had anyone seen this, and know the root cause? I'm concerned that this is just a fluke as we have dozens of FOCUS scripts that run embedded code.

Laure,

The only thing I can suggest is, sometimes, it looks like the SQL is sent directly to the SQL engine (passthru), but instead, WebFOCUS is using the metadata. I would verify the SQL ENGINE connection and also turn SQL traces on - it might shine a light on what's going on. Why post some of your code, including the connection string?

If your connection string command is failing due to improper case, etc., is the query using a default connection and database instead?
