Bind variables and parameterising the expression in case when

8 Jul 2013

      Hi,

I seem to have come across a strange restriction in using bind variables in
MonetDB. If i use bind variables in the normal way by saying where
field=${var} then it works. But not in this case:

Here is a sample:

select case when ${Brand} = 'All'

And here is the error:

EXEC: wrong type for argument 1 of prepared statement: char, expected char

This is using the latest version of the jdbc driver (2.9) via Pentaho.

Not quite sure how to set up a test case of this via a normal SQL client
though.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Dan
