PRB: SQL OLE DB Provider Fails When Selected in OLE DB Wizard

• Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

A dialog box with the message "Could not find any table or procedure information" appears when the SQL OLE DB Provider is used in the OLE DB Consumer Wizard.

CAUSE

As mentioned in the Visual C++ readme file, the SQL OLE DB Provider requires that the new Instcat.sql file be executed in ISQL/W. This SQL script updates catalog-stored procedures on the SQL Server. This is a problem only on SQL Server 6.5 and earlier versions.

RESOLUTION

Start SQL Server's ISQL/W program and open the Instcat.sql file. The file is located in the Windows system directory (for example, :\winnt\system32). Execute the file.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
