Stephane,

<< I installed the trial for EDB and most (but not all) of the demos throw
the same exception "Project xxx.exe raised exception class EEDBException
with message 'ElevateDB Error #406 Invalid temporary table identifier' when
I try to run them. >>

The issue is probably with the computer name having characters in it that
EDB can't use for a table name, and EDB is not fixing the characters as
required.  I will log this as an incident report and a fix will be in the
next 1.00 build.

Steve,

Not sure what you want me to look for in EDB Mgr. All tables appear in the
list when I use the manager. I've tried to repair tables in manager and got
a #406

In createdbddl sample, the #406 occurs at the last line in the
TfrmMain.btnCreateClick procedure

line is : CreateQuery.Active := True;

Also, it is stange that the sample calls procedures to create the missing
tables (like GUIDS) but the tables are not created.

Tim,

I've checked the computer name and did not find any characters that would be
invalid in a filename.

I sent a bug report from mad except to support email address.

Hi Stephane,

I was expecting Tim to reply to this post therefore let it go yesterday,
sorry. I think you should persist in trying to get the MadExcept log to Tim,
as this will probably go a long way to helping him resolve the issue.

It's not what is valid for a file name, it is what is valid for a table name
in a catalog in EDB.  EDB stores temporary tables in the catalog
(temporarily , so their names must be valid catalog object names.

Is your email address the same as what you're using with this post ?  If so,
I will add it to our white list so that you can send us an attachment.

I had similar problems and my computer name is : tom-437oikk00tu.

But I don't think it's that.
The function function TEDBEnvironment.GetComputerName was returning a blank string.

I added a new line of code (Result := 'Bozo'and it works!
...But this may not be the best possible solution.


function TEDBEnvironment.GetComputerName: TEDBString;
var
  TempBuffer: array[0..MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH] of TEDBChar;
  ResultLength: DWORD;
begin
  FillChar(TempBuffer,((MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH+1)*SizeOf(TEDBChar)),0);
  ResultLength:=MAX_COMPUTERNAME_LENGTH;
  Windows.GetComputerName(@TempBuffer,ResultLength);
  SetLength(Result,ResultLength);
  Move(TempBuffer[0],pEDBChar(Result)^,(ResultLength*SizeOf(TEDBChar)));
  Result := 'Bozo';
end;

Are you actually connected to a LAN network ?  If not, then that is why
GetComputerName is returning a blank (NetBios name).  However, it's
basically still the same issue - we're creating a temporary table name that
is invalid and we need to not do that.

My machine has a NIC connected to a router which connects to a cable modem. A second machine connected to the router can get to a shared folder on my machine.
