I'm trying to insert and drop rows over an ODBC connection.  My Insert block works fine, and I'd hoped the drop would work the same, but I get the following error in my SAS log when trying to drop the row I just inserted:

ERROR: Updating or deleting data cannot be supported by this engine when a WHERE clause and the DBCOMMIT option are used together

 

proc sql;
insert into sql_meta.dash_meta_dates
SELECT *
FROM WORK.test;


proc sql;
delete from sql_meta.dash_meta_dates
where GROUP_AE_REGISTRY = "Test";

Solved my own problem.

 

I had to comment out the DBCOMMIT portion of my ODBC conneciton:

 

*Libname for the meta dashboard dates table;
LIBNAME SQL_META ODBC DSN="Dash" DATABASE="QA" SCHEMA=dbo
READBUFF=4000 INSERTBUFF=4000 /*DBCOMMIT=4000*/
;

This was my first post, so I didn't know to do that.  Thanks.
