Oracle OLE DB -- Error ORA-00911: invalid character

[Barry Young]

I am using the following code to insert a row in an Oracle Database.

strConnection = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=MYDATABASE;User
Id=SYSTEM;Password=******"

Dim strMessage As String

Dim objConnection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(strConnection)

Dim objCommand As OleDb.OleDbCommand
objConnection.Open()

objCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(strSQL, objConnection)

objCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

objConnection.Close()

Now the strSQL string inserts a row when I cut and paste it in to PLSQL
(SQL+). But when I execute the above code with the same SQL string, I get
an Invalid Character Error. ORA-00911.

Any Ideas??

Any chance you can post the SQL statement? If I had to take a guess it's probably a single quote
character that is causing the problem.

Paul,

Error: Invalid Character Error. ORA-00911.
Now the strSQL string inserts a row when I cut and paste it in to PLSQL
(SQL+). But when I execute the above code with the same SQL string via
VB.NET, I get
an Invalid Character Error. ORA-00911.

I am using the following code to insert a row in an Oracle Database via
the VB.NET Oracle.OLEDBConnection.

Here is the VB.NET Code:

strConnection = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=MYDATABASE;User
Id=SYSTEM;Password=******"

Dim strMessage As String
Dim objConnection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(strConnection)
Dim objCommand As OleDb.OleDbCommand
objConnection.Open()
objCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(strSQL, objConnection)
objCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
objConnection.Close()

Any Ideas?? Is there a different OLEDB or Oracle .NET provider
available?
