URL Nameconnect-for-odbc-postgresql-driver-reports-the-wrong-value-for-seq-in-index-ordinal-position-from-sqlstatistics
Article Number000119171
EnvironmentProduct: Connect for ODBC PostgreSQL driver
Version: 7.1
O/S: Windows
Database: PostgreSQL
Application: N/A
Question/Problem Description

When SQLStatistics is being called, the results of the query are giving an incorrect value for the ORDINAL_POSITION. The ORDINAL_POSITION is the position of a given column within the scope of the index it is part of.

Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information

For example, consider the following table:

create table test
(
                col1 int, 
                col2 int,
                col3 int,
                col4 int,
                col5 int,
                col6 int,
                col7 int,
                col8 int
) 

 

For this table, if we create the following index:

create index test_idx on test(col6, col4, col8) 

With such an index, a call to SQLStatistics() should yield:

col6 ORIDINAL_POSITION of 1
col4 ORIDINAL_POSITION of 2
col8 ORIDINAL_POSITION of 3

With the current code, the driver is yielding:

col6 ORIDINAL_POSITION of 2
col4 ORIDINAL_POSITION of 3
col8 ORIDINAL_POSITION of 4

A table, where there is just one column in the index is still giving an ORDINAL_POSITION value of 2. This is the reported problem. All the ORDINAL_POSTITION values are being biased by positive one.

Error Message
