    Hi Nikos,

    Can you give us a bit more info? I've not seen it on any of my servers.
    Found this:

    Patch P14944 07Jan2016

    Bug 122604 (GENERIC)

    Star server reports E_OP068C and E_OP068A error when running a query
    that contains a sub-select statement against a remote non-ingres database.

    It's when a subselect is happening inside the select clause.

    select c_amka_asqenh=m.c_amka,
    d_episkep=a.d_episkep,
    d_egrafhs=a.d_egrafhs,
    eid_epis=0,
    c_grnoe_bi_id =
    (select squeeze(bi_id) from grnoe
    where grnoe.c_grnoe = a.c_grnoe),
    c_amka_doctor=p.c_amka,
    kat_prog=0,
    kleidi=concat(a.c_grnoe, squeeze(varchar(replace(varchar(a.d_episkep),' ',''))))
    from epexa a inner join masqe m on
    a.am_asqenh = m.am_asqenh
    left join mypal p on
    a.am_ypal = p.am_ypal
    where a.c_grnoe = ? and
    a.d_episkep = ? and
    a.iatreio = ? and
    a.end_yper = ?

    The curious thing is that the query runs fine from isql but when run through a Perl program it throws.
    The same program and sql query were running fine before the update to 10.2.0.After the update it broke.
    the installation is unpatched so I asked for it to be patched in hope that this was an Ingres bug.

    For sure, make sure the installation is patched up. (just like you would
    advise to keep Microsoft patches up to date).  Confirm the Ingres client
    side is running recent release.

    For your info:

    Version 10.2.0: released Feb 2015.
    Patch P15014: released Jun 2016 has 345 bug fixes, 30 of them mention
    subquery or subselect.

    That subquery needs to be a scalar subquery for the whole thing to be
    certain to work. As far as I know Ingres has no way to know
    whether it is or it isn't scalar without actually executing it. By
    inspection of the syntax it _could_ be scalar so I can't see OPF
    ever grumbling about it. If it does turn out not to be scalar you get a different error (E_US1196).

    That it works when run in isql makes me think the Perl driver (some kind
    of ODBC? or DBD::Ingres?) is garbling something.

    (Of course you could just get rid of that subquery, but I'm sure you
    know that.)
