Update Binary

Hello,

I am trying to INSERT/UPDATE Binary table as follows,


Set installer = Wscript.CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")

Set database = installer.OpenDatabase(msiPath, msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact)

Set rec = installer.CreateRecord(1)
rec.SetStream 1, binPath

If bUpdate = True then
Set recView = database.OpenView("UPDATE `Binary` SET `Data` = ? WHERE `Name` = '" & binName & "'")
Else
Set recView = database.OpenView("INSERT INTO `Binary` (`Data`, `Name`) VALUES (?, '" & binName & "')")
End If

recView.Execute rec
database.Commit


Insert goes well, Update fails. It doesn't flash any error but then it doesn't even get updated. Am I doing something wrong???

Could it be that the Name column contains primary keys? Cause, a quote from MSDN's page on SQL queries and MSI:

UPDATE queries only work on nonprimary key columns.

could be your problem...

If you look at the UPDATE query in my code snippet, you can see that I am only updating (SETting) `Data` field, `Name` is there only in WHERE clause.

as a little test, have you tried using:

SET `Binary`.`Data` = ? WHERE `Binary`.`Name` = '" & binName & "'"

specifying the table name again?
