Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors

Question

I am running a simple FillSchema from a Netezza data source

dss = new DataSet();
ad = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
ad.SelectCommand = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM " + objTable.name);
ad.SelectCommand.Connection = cn;
ad.FillSchema(dss, SchemaType.Source);

I get the following error:

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

What am I doing wrong here?

How can I get to the errors underneath (Check each OLE DB status value)?

Answer 1

What's your connection string?

It will be either your Driver, your Cursor or security (I had the same problem using Integrated Security).

Changing this to a username/password fixed my issue.
