ODBC error state: 60 code: 102 message: [DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near

Question

Hi,
I am currently receiving the following error in BI Answers when I run a query against a Microsoft SQL 2005 Server.
View Display Error
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

I am able to connect successfully to the Data Source and run a query against the database using the NQCMD command line tool so believe I have configured the DataDirect 7.0.1 drivers correctly, also I am able to view the Table Data in the RPD Physical Layer in the BI Administration Tool. So don't understand why I am getting this error.
I have also activated the nquery.log but that doesn't really give me any further information.

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on what could possibly be causing the [DataDirect][ODBC 20101 driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'UserName'.. error ? And also provide any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this issue further as I am now completely out of ideas of what to do next having tried numerous things i.e. setting  IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR = '' in DBFeatures.INI which I found in similar posts on the subject all to no avail

Hi Rajagopal,
Thanks for your reply after doing some further investigations this morning I found and corrected the problem...
The DataDirect Driver does not like double quotes in the query for some reason, testing  using the BI Answers generated SQL with the nqcmd tool below...
With double quotes “” it fails immediately
Give SQL Statement: select T18706."Id" as c1, T18706."UserName" as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706."UserName" = 'trowe' )
select T18706."Id" as c1, T18706."UserName" as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706."UserName" = 'trowe' )
[102][State: S1000] [DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'Id'.
Statement execute failed
With double quotes removed for just the columns I now get the Error near ‘ETMS_Users’ which still had the double quotes
Give SQL Statement: select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from "ETMS_Users" T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
[102][State: S1000] [DataDirect][ODBC SQL Server Wire Protocol driver][Microsoft SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'ETMS_Users'.
Statement execute failed
With all double quotes removed it works !
Give SQL Statement: select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from ETMS_Users T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
select T18706.Id as c1, T18706.UserName as c2 from ETMS_Users T18706 where ( T18706.UserName = 'trowe' )
c1           c2
42499        trowe
Row count: 1
Give SQL Statement:
The solution to fix the problem is...
In the BI Admin Tool Physical Layer Database, Properties Features tab is to delete the double quote in the Value column for IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR, setting this in the DBFeatures.INI file does not resolve the problem possibly it did in earlier versions of the product.
