LSXODBC: SQL Connection crashes Notes Client when table contains images

I’m accessing a SQL-table with Lotusscript. When that table contains images it crashes my Notes Client.

I actually developed my script with a copy of that table in a local Access DB. There it did work. But when I switched to a data source that points to the SQL-Server, it crashes.

Softwareversions:

SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003

Notes 6.5.4 on Windows XP Professional 2002, SP2

ODBC: Microsoft SQL Server ODBC-Treiber Version 03.85.1117

The crash happens here:

odbcResult.execute

’ OK

If odbcResult.isresultsetavailable Then

’ crash

I can prevent the crash by selecting only some columns instead of “*”.

(I don’t need the image, so this is a workaround for me, I just get all the other columns)

Tables without images work fine.

I saw some other posts about odbc crashing Notes but none of theme seemed to be related to images.

The only officially supported ODBC drivers are the DataDirect branded drivers for Lotus. You can get them from Passport Advantage. I have successfully used other drivers, but whenever I have called for support they have been adamant that I use the branded drivers. That would be the first place to start.
