PROBLEM

When running the SEPA script against SM V3 for the first time in their tests, a customer experienced the following error:

FireDac Phys ASA 310 Cannot execute command returning results set. Hint: Use Open method for SELECT-like commands.

ISSUE

After some extensive diagnostics, the error was determined to be in a <SQLExec> statement where a SELECT was being redirected INTO a temporary table.

Specifically, a statement where a double quote character (as opposed to two single quotes) was being replaced with an empty string thus (for example):

Select replace('abcde','"','') as newst into #ttemp

SOLUTION

The solution was to replace the double quote character with the ascii equivalent of char(34):

Select replace('abcde',char(34),'') as newst into #ttemp
