Trying to get 'exec SQL' to work in DE6.53 and DE8.5 and get the same issue.

Connection must be to DB via OLEDB provider which is defined in a UDL file.

The same database link is defined in database links with UDL file and works A-ok for normal DQL actions.

The following statement gives an error 1 parsing script error.

        exec SQL connect TESTDB to OLEDB provider c:\testDB.udl as TEST PWD .
