Works with SQL but not in ACCESS
Dec 04, 2012 03:57 PM|zoltac007|LINK
Below WHERE clause works in a Stored Procedure on my server but it will not play using ACCESS 2010 on PC. Server returns 146 records, PC returns zero results. Any thoughts why? Does ACCESS have casting issues?
PROCEDURE CtByZip
@zip1 nvarchar(5),
@zip2 nvarchar(5),
@zip3 nvarchar(5)
WHERE ( ( (tblCTInfo.L_Zip LIKE @zip1 + '%' ) OR (tblCTInfo.L_Zip LIKE @zip2 + '%' ) OR (tblCTInfo.L_Zip LIKE @zip3 + '%' ) ) AND ( tblCTInfo.L_Enabled = 1) )

code works if LIKE is changed to =
tblCTInfo.L_Zip = @Zip1 OR tblCTInfo.L_Zip = @Zip2
but that of course does not pull all the records we are looking for.

So far the ACCESS 2010 syntax appears to be working but have not verified the full dataset returned:
( ((tblCTInfo.L_Zip) LIKE [@Zip1] & "*") OR = @Zip1) OR ((tblCTInfo.L_Zip) LIKE [@Zip1] & "*") ) AND . . . . .

How would we know which records you're looking for?

In Access, the Wildcard Character is *. However, in a webenvironment, when connection to a MDB file, you're not dealing with an Access Database, but with a Jet Database Enigine, and then the wildcard character is %

It did return all records, our problem was that we did not know the "*" was the ACCESS APPLICATION wildcard. As you inform, we incorrectly assumed that SQL stored procedures were portable.
