I'm making a Windows Form App that reads Firebird database and displays the data.
I'm using a DLL file a coworker recommended: FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll
Here's an example of how I read the data:
class FBConnect
{
private FbConnection MyConnection= new FbConnection();
private FbConnectionStringBuilder ConnectionString;
//Constructor
public FBConnect()
{
ConnectionString= new FbConnectionStringBuilder();
{
var withBlock = ConnectionString;
withBlock.Database = "MyFile.fdb";
withBlock.ServerType = FbServerType.Embedded;
withBlock.UserID = "USID";
withBlock.Password = "Key";
withBlock.Pooling = true;
}
MyConnection.ConnectionString = ConnectionString.ToString();
}
public DataTable RunQuery(string query)
{
try
{
MyConnection.Open();
if (MyConnection.State == ConnectionState.Open)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
FbDataAdapter da = new FbDataAdapter(query, MyConnection.ConnectionString);
da.Fill(dt);
return dt;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
catch (FbException err)
{
MessageBox.Show(err.Message, "Firebird error " + err.ErrorCode, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return null;
}
finally
{
MyConnection.Close();
}
}
}
And then, from another class, I call:
FBConnect conn = new FBConnect();
dataGridView1.DataSource = conn.RunQuery("SELECT * FROM table1");
and it works just fine, I get to see the data. The problem comes exclusively when I use a JOIN
in my query: then I get an exception
Firebird error 335544854
CHARACTER SET ISO8859_1 is not installed
What can be causing this and how do I solve it?
Here's the query I'm using
SELECT FACTF.CVE_DOC AS "Clave de Documento", VENDEDOR.NOMBRE AS "Nombre del vendedor" FROM FACTF01 FACTF LEFT JOIN VEND01 VENDEDOR ON VENDEDOR.CVE_VEND=FACTF.CVE_VEND
