Title"Incorrect syntax near '-'" error INNER or OUTER join queries when foreign database name contains hyphen.
URL NameIncorrect-syntax-near-error-INNER-or-OUTER-join-queries-when-foreign-database-name-contains-hyphen
Article Number000136146
EnvironmentProduct: OpenEdge
Version: 11.6
OS: All supported platforms
Other: Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Other: ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver 11.6
Question/Problem Description
When an hyphen "-" is used in a SQL database name, the select statements are wrong (the text is not enclosed with quotes) when INNER or OUTER joins are used:
  
MSS -- Execute on 0x4830048 Firehose Connection Level 4 new: SELECT T0."foo", T0."bar", T0.PROGRESS_RECID, T0.PROGRESS_RECID_IDENT_, T0.PROGRESS_RECID_ALT_, 
MSS -- T1."quuz", T1."corge", T1."baz", T1."quux", T1."user_id", T1.PROGRESS_RECID, T1.PROGRESS_RECID_IDENT_, T1.PROGRESS_RECID_ALT_, 
MSS -- T2."quuz", T2."corge", T2."baz", T2."quux", T2.PROGRESS_RECID, T2.PROGRESS_RECID_IDENT_, T2.PROGRESS_RECID_ALT_, 
MSS -- FROM "foo-db"."bar-t"."a_b" T0 INNER JOIN foo-db.bar-t.cuser T1 ON (T0."foo" = T1."user_id") LEFT OUTER JOIN foo-db.bar-t.waldo T2 ON (T1."pers_id" = T2."pers_id") 
MSS -- WHERE (T0."bar" = ?) ORDER BY T1."user_id"


 
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
The foreign database name contains the hyphen character.
Error MessageDataserver log with qt_debug,SQL reads:

MSS -- SQLState: S1000 
MSS -- Native Error Code: 102 
MSS -- Error Message: [Data Direct][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '-'. (15044) 
MSS -- SQLState: S1000 
MSS -- Native Error Code: 8180 
MSS -- Error Message: [Data Direct][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Statement(s) could not be prepared. (15044)
Defect/Enhancement NumberDefect PSC00359561
Cause
This is a known issue.

Object name used in INNER and OUTER join has been copied from “pmisc” field of ODBCACHE which is not enclosed in quotes. 
This is resulting in a problem where query execution is failing with bad syntax when db/owner/table name contains special characters.
 
Resolution
Fixed in hot fix 11.6.3.028. Refer to the hot fix “readme.txt”  for instructions on how to download and install the hot fix.
Upgrade to OpenEdge 11.6.4.
Upgrade to OpenEdge 11.7.2 or later.

Quotes have now been added to fully qualified table names after OUTER and INNER join queries.
