Problem Note 51085: An error occurs when you try to update a null value using SAS/ACCESS® Interface to ODBC
 |  |  |  |
When you use SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC and the open-source PostgreSQL driver to update a null value in a PostgreSQL database, the following error might occur:
ERROR: Error updating table entry: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Function sequence error
Workarounds
- Use SAS/ACCESS® Interface to PostgreSQL instead of SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC.
- Use SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC and explicit pass-through code to do the update using code similar to the following:
proc sql;
connect to odbc(dsn=data-source-name user=user-ID password=password);
execute(update public.class set name = 'Alfred' where id = 123) by odbc;
disconnect from odbc;
quit;
connect to odbc(dsn=data-source-name user=user-ID password=password);
execute(update public.class set name = 'Alfred' where id = 123) by odbc;
disconnect from odbc;
quit;
- Use SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC and a third-party PostgreSQL driver such as Progress/DataDirect.
