Paradox query in SQL Assistant over ODBC - no column names

1.2k Views Asked by At

I set up an ODBC connection to a paradox database, and I'm using Teradata SQL Assistant to query against the database. However, no column names are being identified. So, if I query: SELECT TOP 1 FROM database, I get a record where every column name is "NoName"

column 2 is called "Date" in the paradox database. I would like to be able to limit by query by that column. How would I do this?

So, it requires that Paradox be installed locally, and then reboot the server. It doesn't appear that the Paradox install modifies the driver, but something must change because now I get the column names. I have tested this on multiple computers and I'm sure that the local install of Paradox is what causes the column names to now appear. I installed the same version of Paradox as the database file I'm trying to access via ODBC over the network.

Try to use AS otherName. That is: SELECT TOP 1 as myColumnName FROM database
