Hi all.

Recently, we have migrated from a 10G to a 12G server in a pre-production environment. In early tests, we have detected an strange InvalidCast error in a method that generates an autoincrement value from a sequence.

Debugging against the two environments, we have discovered that the returned type in OleDBCommand that gets NEXTVAL in Sequence is DBTYPE_R8 in 10G while DBTYPE_VARNUMERIC in 12C.

Is there any way to force the returned datatype in oledb access to NEXTVAL pseudocolumn?

Thank you in advance

You didn't mention it, but Googling those data types tells me that you are reading this data with a Microsoft OLE application. Is that right?

To the best of my knowledge, the data type returned by NEXTVAL has not changed between 10.x and 12.x, so perhaps the problem is with your client software, not on the Oracle side. You must be using (certainly should be using) a new version of the client, what is it?

And, just to do the moderator bit:
