Exception :DBD, [Microsoft][SQL server] ..State: 42000

Question

Hi All,
I have this technical environment:
-BOXIR3.1.
-DB: SQL server 2005.
-OS: Windows server 2003.
When i try to create a report under Deski, with 2 objects, i get this error:
"Exception: DBD, [ ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Impossible
de préparer les insctruction.state:42000"
Note : I have tried all the tests(under the server, with administrator account.. ) but i get the same problem under Deski, but under Webi when i create the same Query nothings happen, in other words it works.
I have copied the SQL query:
SELECT                                                                               
count (distinct (convert(char                                                                               
(10),dbo.Tbld_CLI_PMSI_RSS.CLI_Donn_NoAbsEpisode)'_'convert(char                                                                 
(10),dbo.Tbld_CLI_PMSI_RSS.CLI_Donn_NoRSS))),                                                                               
year(( dbo.Tbld_CLI_PMSI_RSS.CLI_Date_Entree ))                                                                               
FROM                                                                               
dbo.Tbld_CLI_PMSI_RSS        
*I activated the log, and i send you the 3      *
interesting line:

Answer 1

Hi Aimen,
Following solution might be helpful in resolving the issue.
SQL statement is case sensitive in Business Objects.
Follow these steps:
Test the connection in your universe and click Details.
From Details, copy and run the path for the PRM file used by your connection which will open the relevant PRM file in Notepad.
Modify the following parameter (or add to the PRM file if it does not exist) as follows:
<Parameter Name="CASE_SENSITIVE">N</Parameter>
Save the PRM file.
Close and relaunch Designer.
