OpenQuery to a LinkedServer

I have SQL Server 2000 with Pervasive SQL 2000i attached
as a linked server. When I run the following...
UPDATE OPENQUERY(LINKEDSERVER, 'SELECT "START_ORDER_NO"
FROM "OECTLFIL" WHERE "FILE_KEY" = 1')
SET START_ORDER_NO = 0
--The START_ORDER_NO field contains a 48
Changing the SET clause to ...
SET START_ORDER_NO = 1~9
--The START_ORDER_NO field contains 49~57 respectively.
SET START_ORDER_NO = 10
--The START_ORDER_NO field contains 12337
SET START_ORDER_NO = 11
--The START_ORDER_NO field contains 12593
SET START_ORDER_NO = 12
--The START_ORDER_NO field contains 12849
incrementing by 256 as I increase the value I write...
The LinkedServer is Pervasive SQL 2000i using 'OLE DB
Provider for ODBC'
The START_ORDER_NO field is a Numeric(8,0)
I'm thinking some kind of Unicode, or translation or code
page issue, but I haven't had any luck yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your post.
From your descriptions, I understood that you would like to set the number
to be one and it appears to be something else. Correct me if I was wrong.
This issue seems strange, here are some steps I think you could make a try
to see whether it will make any further progress
First of all, try to use xp_enum_loedb_providers listed in the document
below to setup your linked server.
INF: xp_enum_oledb_providers Enumerates the OLE DB Providers
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216575
Secondly, could you use INTEGER or UINTEGER in Pervasive.SQL 2000 instead
of NUMERIC(8,0)?
Pervasive.SQL 2000 Supported Data Types

Unfortuantely, I do not have Pervasive SQL 2000 installed and cannot
reporduce it. If I may, I would like to suggest you seeing whether
Pervasive Software had meet this before.
Thank you for your patience and corperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

|||You understand correctly.
I am using 'OLEDB Provider for ODBC' or MSDASQL
The field types have been defined by the original vendor, Pervasive SQL
2000 is part of a proprietary ERP system. I don't have the luxury of
changing field definitions.
Thanks for the information though.

|||Hi Bob,
Thanks for your prompt updates letting me know the status of the issue.
First of all, you may use (numeric(8,0), 0) to test whether it will make
any progress.
Secondly, what odbc driver you are using? I think you may try to check this
with that Pervasive ODBC Driver vendor about issue.
Thank you for your patience and corperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!
