I am trying to extract jpg images from BLOBs in a FileMaker database via an OCBD connection, using SELECT ... GetAS(Picture_ID). Feeding a single feature containing the picture ID to SQLExecutor works fine, causing the image file or files to be stored by the subsequent AttributeFileWriter. However, feeding 2 or more perfectly valid features causes the SQLExecutor to fail with the message "Error running translation".
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

You can try to create the SQL before the SQLExector with a AttributeCreator with the following options:
Attribute Name: _SQL
Attribute Value: SELECT * FROM XX (your sql here)
Then I would add an inspector or logger between the AttributeCreator and the SQLExectur to see the complete SQL before runnning the SQLExectur. You can then copy/paste this exact expression to your DB-tool (MS SQL Development, MS Access, Filemaker?) and see if it works.
Possible reasons it might fail:
- Wrong quotes or table names
- Empty values
Good luck!
I'll fiddle a bit more with this when I get around to it, but I suspect that this might be a problem with the FileMaker ODBC driver. Like I described, feeding feature A or feature B to SQLExecutor works, but feeding them both fails.
