FIX: Error message when you run an SQL statement by using OLE DB Provider for DB2: "SQLSTATE 22007, SQLCODE -181"

Consider the following scenario. You run an SQL statement by using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2. The SQL statement passes a Microsoft SQL Server datetime parameter to an IBM DB2 database column. The IBM DB2 database column uses the IBM DB2 DATE data type. In this scenario, you may receive the following error message:For example, the following SQL statement passes a SQL Server datetime parameter to an IBM DB2 database column. In this example, this problem occurs if the COL2 column uses the IBM DB2 DATE data type.

At runtime, OLE DB Provider for DB2 does not know the correct IBM DB2 data type for the IBM DB2 database column to which the SQL Server datetime parameter is passed. Therefore, OLE DB Provider for DB2 includes the date information and the time information in the value that OLE DB Provider for DB2 passes to the IBM DB2 database. The time information is not valid for the IBM DB2 DATE data type. Therefore, you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.

This hotfix adds support for a new connection string property. By using the new connection string property, you can pass a SQL Server datetime parameter to an IBM DB2 database as the IBM DB2 DATE data type. OLE DB Provider for DB2 deletes the time information in the value of the SQL Server datetime parameter. Therefore, OLE DB Provider for DB2 passes only the date information to the IBM DB2 database.

The new connection string property has the following definition:In this connection string property, you can define Value as TRUE or as FALSE. If you add the DateTime As Date=TRUE statement to the connection string, OLE DB Provider for DB2 converts the SQL Server datetime parameter to the IBM DB2 DATE data type. Then, OLE DB Provider for DB2 passes the value to the IBM DB2 database.

If you add the DateTime As Date=FALSE statement to the connection string, OLE DB Provider for DB2 passes the SQL Server datetime parameter to the IBM DB2 database as you specify in the SQL statement. In this case, OLE DB Provider for DB2 passes the date information and the time information to the IBM DB2 database.

Note This behavior is the default behavior if you do not add the DateTime As Date property to the connection string.

The following connection string example shows how to use the DateTime As Date property. Important After you apply this hotfix and add the DateTime As Date=TRUE statement to the connection string, you may receive the following error message:This problem occurs if the IBM DB2 database column uses the IBM DB2 TIMESTAMP data type. This problem occurs because the IBM DB2 database expects to receive the date information and the time information when a query is passed to an IBM DB2 database column that uses the IBM DB2 TIMESTAMP data type. The DateTime As Date=TRUE statement causes OLE DB Provider for DB2 to delete the time information in the value of the SQL Server datetime parameter. Therefore, the data is not valid when the query is passed to the IBM DB2 database column that uses the IBM DB2 TIMESTAMP data type.

If you must query an IBM DB2 table that uses the IBM DB2 DATE data type and the IBM DB2 TIMESTAMP data type, you may have to use multiple connection strings that are configured to use the correct properties. Then, you can successfully query the various IBM DB2 data types.
