VSD Puts Spaces Around the Table Name and Causes an Error with DB2OLEDB (329853)

SYMPTOMS

NOTE: This article also applies to Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

If you drag a database table from Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Server Explorer to a WinForm, and you use the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 (DB2OLEDB) that is included with Host Integration Server 2000, you may receive the following error message:

The wizard detected the following problems when configuring the Data Adapter for "MyTableName".

Details:

Generated Select Statement.

Error in Select clause: expression near ""
Error in From clause: near "".
Unable to parse query text.

This error occurs when you use the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 when the update that is described in the following Knowledge Base article is applied to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET:

325790 FIX: Providers Fail When Visual Studio Database Designer Wizard Puts Brackets Around the Table Name

If the Visual Studio .NET update is not applied, the error that is described in article Q325790 occurs.

CAUSE

The Visual Studio Database (VSD) Designer Wizard creates a SELECT statement for OleDbDataAdapter that has brackets around the table name if the update that is described in Q325790 is not applied. The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 does not support brackets around the table or schema name, so the statement fails with the error that is described in Q325790.

If the update in Q325790 is applied to Visual Studio .NET, the VSD Designer Wizard works with the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 and puts spaces around the table name in the generated SELECT statement. This results in the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section.
