You can use encryption when transferring data over the network for the following providers:
- prDirect - Connect to SQL Server directly via TCP/IP without client library.
- prNativeClient. SQL Server Native Client (SQLNCLI).
- prMSOLEDB. Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL).

To use the prNativeClient and prMSOLEDB providers, you must have the SQL Server Native Client and Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server drivers, respectively, installed on your machine.
For example:

Code: Select all

  MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prDirect;
  MSConnection1.Options.Encrypt := True;
  MSConnection1.Options.TrustServerCertificate := True;

After set :

Code: Select all

MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prDirect;
we have got weird behavior - executing our procedure we get error: "Procedure or function Get_user has too many arguments specified".


If

Code: Select all

MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prAuto;
is set, everything is working fine:

After set

Code: Select all

MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prDirect;
we get this:

Unfortunately, we can't reproduce the issue. To investigate this behavior of SDAC, please compose a small sample demonstrating the issue and send it to us, including database objects creating scripts.
You can send the sample using the contact form at our site: devart.com/company/contactform.html

Hi.

I think we found the problem. If we set

Code: Select all

MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prDirect;
and try to execute procedure which exists with the same name in several schemas, for example:

Code: Select all

dbo.Get_User
arh.Get_User
reports.Get_User
we get ALL parameters from ALL instances of procedure Get_User from different schemas.

Code: Select all

ALTER PROCEDURE [arh].[Get_User]
   @Buffer [xml]
   
AS
    DECLARE @Result INT
		
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET @Result=0

BEGIN
     BEGIN TRY
     /****** Sprawdzenie poprawności parametrów ******/
      IF @Buffer IS NULL SET @Result=-1
      
	 /****** Jeżeli parametry poprawne *****/ 
	  IF @Result=0
	     BEGIN	
	     
		--SELECT

         END
     END TRY
     
     BEGIN CATCH
          SET @Result=(SELECT ERROR_NUMBER());

          RETURN @Result;
     END CATCH
END

RETURN @Result;
Is that explanation helpful?

P.S.
If we set

Code: Select all

MSConnection1.Options.Provider := prDirect;
the same behavior is in the query designer.

Thank you for the information. We have fixed the issue, and the fix will be included in the next SDAC build.
