MORE INFORMATION

The following snippet of code, using MFC ODBC, illustrates the use of table name that causes the error:

   CDatabase   Db;
   Rs2*      pRs;   //<-Derived CRecordset Class

   Db.Open("", FALSE, FALSE, "ODBC;DSN=OldOracle", FALSE );
   pRs = new Rs2( &Db );

   pRs->Open(CRecordset::dynaset, "SELECT AUTHORS.AU_ID, AUTHORS.AU_NAME,
                                   AUTHORS.PUB_ID FROM AUTHORS" );
   pRs->MoveLast();
   pRs->AddNew();
   pRs->m_AU_ID = "213-46-8915";
   pRs->m_AU_NAME = "Blender69";
   pRs->m_PUB_ID = "42";
   pRs->Update();
   pRs->Close();
   delete pRs;

   Db.Close();
