ODBC: ERROR [42000] [SAP AG][LIBODBCHDC DLL][HDBODBC] Syntax error or access violation

Hello,

 

I am unable to connect to HANA using DirectQuery. it gives me following error message:

ODBC: ERROR [42000] [SAP AG][LIBODBCHDC DLL][HDBODBC] Syntax error or access violation;257 sql syntax error: incorrect syntax near "begin": line 3 col 8 (at pos 27) - (screenshot below)

Here is the first few line of the code:

do begin
DECLARE EventID INT=136;
DECLARE zoneminutes INT=0;
DECLARE EventStartDate NVARCHAR(50)='';

 

PS: I have full permissions to database I am tying to access here but somehow it does not work.

 

I am not sure if Power BI can call such type of queries. Any assistance would be of great help.

Hi @v-jiascu-msft, Thank you for your response.

I tried that but it didnt work out, so I created a function of the HANA query and have called the same function in the PowerQuery. It works flawlessly now.

I was able to solve the error by marking EnableFolding=False

Go to Source --> Under PowerBI native query, mark EnableFolding=False:

Hope this helps.

Hi @rudra_deep,

 

Can you run the SQL statements in another tool of SAP HANA? Maybe you can try to store the procedure and call it directly in Power BI. 

 

Best Regards,

Dale
