digitalmars.D.learn - ODBC SQLBindParameter for string array

Hi,

I have some issues with the ODBC SQLBindParameter. I already
achieved to add an array of integers but the scenario of writting
a string array is not working.
While doing the INSERT statement 3 rows are added to the
database. The first row has the correct value "A". The second row
has not value instead of "B". And the third row has a strange
value and the character 'P' instead of "C".

Do you have some idea?

Kind regards
André

// CREATE TABLE demo(name VARCHAR(1))
// INSERT INTO demo (name) VALUES (?)

string[] stringArr = ["A","B","C"];

SQLSetStmtAttr(hStmt, SQL_ATTR_PARAMSET_SIZE,
    cast(SQLPOINTER) stringArr.length, 0);
SQLSetStmtAttr(hStmt, SQL_ATTR_PARAM_BIND_TYPE,  cast(SQLPOINTER)
    SQL_PARAM_BIND_BY_COLUMN, 0);
SQLINTEGER[] lengIndArr = new SQLINTEGER[](table.rowCount);

// Get max length, in this example always: 1
int maxLength = 0;
foreach(str;stringArr){
    if(str.length > maxLength){
      maxLength = str.length;
    }
}

// SQLCHAR is defined as ubyte
SQLCHAR[][] charArr = new SQLCHAR[][](stringArr.length, maxLength
+ 1);
// +1 for \0 character

foreach(i, str;stringArr){
    charArr[i] =   cast(SQLCHAR[]) (str~"\0");
    lengIndArr[i] = SQL_NTS; // Null terminated string
}

SQLBindParameter( hStmt, cast(SQLUSMALLINT) 1, cast(SQLSMALLINT)
    SQL_PARAM_INPUT, cast(SQLSMALLINT)SQL_C_CHAR,
cast(SQLSMALLINT)SQL_VARCHAR,
    maxLength, 0, charArr[0].ptr , maxLength + 1, lengIndArr.ptr);

Try this: // SQLCHAR is defined as ubyte SQLCHAR*[] charArr = new SQLCHAR*[](stringArr.length); foreach(i, str;stringArr){ charArr[i] = cast(SQLCHAR*) toStringz(str); // import std.string lengIndArr[i] = SQL_NTS; // Null terminated string } The SQL API is expecting an array of (C) char* pointers, not an array of D's ubyte[] (which is actually twice the size).
 SQLBindParameter(
   hStmt,  cast(SQLUSMALLINT) 1,  cast(SQLSMALLINT) SQL_PARAM_INPUT, 
   cast(SQLSMALLINT) SQL_C_CHAR,
   cast(SQLSMALLINT)SQL_VARCHAR,
   maxLength,  0,
   charArr[0].ptr,
maxLength + 1, // I don't think the +1 is necessary..
   lengIndArr.ptr);
