How do I go about debugging a SQL statement in SQuirrel-sql?
I keep getting “unhelpful” errors like:
Error: [SQL0104] Token , was not valid. Valid tokens: ) OR. SQLState: 42601 ErrorCode: -104
I would love to be able to see the line number where I made the error, or some other way of guiding me to where the problem is.
I am working with the JDBC driver on a IBMi DB2 database.
You can add the “errors=full” property for more detailed error messages although it will still require some interpretation to locate the precise syntax issue.
See the IBM Toolbox for Java JDBC properties for more information.
As Tracy mentioned if you want interactive syntax checking you will have to use one of the native SQL interfaces such as the green screen Start SQL Interactive Session (STRSQL) command or the IBM i Access Run SQL scripts tool.
