Q:

I get the following exception when i try to execute the following query:

INSERT INTO days  (depcode,studycode,batchnum) values (3,3,4);SELECT DBINFO( 'sqlca.sqlerrd1' )
FROM systables
WHERE tabid = 1;

Through ExecuteScalar() .

ERROR:-555 MEssage: [Informix .NET provider][Informix]Cannot use a
select or any of the database statements in a multi-query prepare.

Answer 1

The statement text that is presented with this PREPARE statement has
multiple statements divided by semicolons, and one is a SELECT,
DATABASE, CREATE DATABASE, or CLOSE DATABASE statement. These
statements must always be prepared as one-statement texts. Check the
statement text string, and make sure that you intended multiple
statements. If you did, revise the program to execute these four
statement types alone.

Means, try to do the insert and the select in two separate query’s.
