ODBC

[eluser]North2Alaska[/eluser]
I'm setting up a new app that will connect to a MS Sql Server database. When I initialize the database.php file and run the welcome controller, I get the following error:

Code:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method CI_DB::CI_DB() in E:\wamp\www\ci\system\database\drivers\odbc\odbc_driver.php on line 53

I thought maybe ODBC wasn't setup correctly, but I can query the database with direct commands:

Code:
$conn=odbc_connect('Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=zrtpd0j6\Corp1;Database=Pricing;','myuser','thePass');
if (!$conn)
  {exit("Connection Failed: " . $conn);}
$sql="SELECT 'HELLO WORLD' as msg";
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
if (!$rs)
  {exit("Error in SQL");}
echo "<table><tr><th>Message</th>";
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
  {
  $msg=odbc_result($rs,"msg");
  echo "<tr><td>$msg</td></tr>";
  }
odbc_close($conn);
echo "</table>";

My database.php looks like this:
Code:
$db['default']['hostname'] = "Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=zrtpd0j6\Corp1;";
$db['default']['username'] = "myUser";
$db['default']['password'] = "thePass";
$db['default']['database'] = "Pricing";
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "odbc";
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['default']['char_set'] = "";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "";

I am running on Windows XP with WAMP running locally. I am using the latest SVN version of CI, even though it says 1.7.1.

I've done a search of the forums but find nothing recent about this error. Any suggestions?

I had the same error. after hours and hours i got it work in the following way:

1. go to the system\database\drivers\odbc\odbc_driver.php and comment out the whole function CI_DB_odbc_driver($params) line 51 to line 56 -> this seems to be a bug in the constructor.

2. do not use statements like (foreach $query->result() as $row){ echo $row->ID;} ... use instead (foreach $query->result_array() as $row){ echo $row['ID'];} this works for me.

3. i don't exactly know if there's another mistake within codeigneter or php with odbc. i can't use $query->num_rows(). this always gives back -1 no matter if there's a record selected or not. i use instead a seperate counter like $count = 0; foreach (....){count++;}

hope i could help you, 'cause i was sitting for about 2 days on that problem but now it works.

It's the database instance, mssql has them. First part is the server name, after the "\" it's the instance name

Thanks for figuring this out Chris. I am connecting to an MSSQL instance and was able to get the class to work with this.

I was able to get all the other functions working properly by setting
Code:
var $_random_keyword = ' ASC';

calling
Code:
parent::CI_DB_driver($params);
in the constructor instead of
Code:
parent::CI_DB($params);
will resolve this issue.
