This works perfectly outside of DevArt in a MySQL query browser:

select s.name, format(sv.value,(select digits from sensors where id=s.id)) as value
from sensors s, sensorvalues sv, packets p
where (select id from packets where packettype=2 order by timestamp desc limit 1) = p.id and sv.id=p.id and sv.sid=s.id

I am trying to get the most recent sensor readings and display them neatly formatted. Each sensor has different numeric precision formatting.

v8.2.5 chokes on the column named "digits" if I try to put it into a TMyQuery component. As you can see, there is no column named digits in my main select. Digits is a column name in the sensors table that holds the amount of numeric precision for a given sensor.

Ok, so I quote the "digits" field in the query to try to fool your parser. Now it always returns 0 for the format precision.

Any ideas or workarounds?

Thanks!

Hello,

We cannot reproduce the problem. The below sample returns correct data. Please modify it so that the problem can be reproduced and send it back to us.

Code: Select all

program Project4;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  SysUtils, MyAccess;

var
  MyConnection: TMyConnection;
  MyQuery: TMyQuery;
begin
  MyConnection := TMyConnection.Create(nil);
  try
    MyConnection.ConnectString := '...';
    MyConnection.Connect;
    MyConnection.ExecSQL('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_table');
    MyConnection.ExecSQL('CREATE TABLE test_table ( id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,  digits int(11) DEFAULT NULL,  value double DEFAULT NULL,  PRIMARY KEY (id))');
    MyConnection.ExecSQL('INSERT INTO test_table(digits, value) VALUES(2, 123.1212)');
    MyQuery := TMyQuery.Create(nil);
    try
      MyQuery.Connection := MyConnection;
      MyQuery.SQL.Text := 'SELECT VALUE, (SELECT FORMAT(value, digits) FROM test_table WHERE id = t1.id) FROM test_table t1';
      MyQuery.Open;
      Writeln(Format('Real Value: %s - Format Value %s',[MyQuery.Fields[0].AsString, MyQuery.Fields[1].AsString]));
    finally
      MyQuery.Free;
    end;
  finally
    MyConnection.Free;
    readln;
  end;
end.
