Using Sybase as DBMS with TestStand

[Nickel]

Hello !

We are trying to use Sybase as DBMS (Database Management System) with TestStand.

Has anyone tried to create a logging scheme for use with Sybase in TestStand ?

If so, did you encounter any problems ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi Nickel,

The Sybase database requires that any strings be logged as VCHAR. However, our database logger uses a BSTR type in the construction of the ADO Parameter object. I have attached a modified version of the Database Logger DLL that should fix your problem. Please replace the file \Components\User\Models\TestStandModels\Dtabase\DBLog\DBLog.dll with the attached file. Let me know if this works.

Hello Ryan !

We replaced the "DLL" and all seems too work !!!
(our problem was, how to handle STRINGS with Sybase)

Do you know if we can expect some other problems
with Teststand and Sybase ?

Many thanks !

Hi Nickel,

I have never used this database before. I couldn't tell you for sure if there will be no more problems. However, I can say that if you do find any more problems in the future, please let us know so that we can help you out. Thanks!
