Microsoft Report Builder with Postgresql and multiple CTEs - postgresql

Question

I have a problem creating DataSets with CTE in the current Microsoft Report Designer.
My DataSource is a PostgreSQL Database and I use the current Version of PGNP to connect to.
The connection works fine, I can create DataSets based on Queries and get my data.
BUT if I try to create more complex queries, like for example with multiple CTE, I won't get any fields.
Exampe:
SELECT 'Test' as test
Will return one column (test) with one row (Test)
WITH Test as (SELECT 'Test' as test)
SELECT Test
, 'Success' as result
FROM Test
Will return two columns (test, result) with one row (Test, Success)
Till now, everything is ok.
But if I want to use more then one CTE, I have to face the following problems:
WITH Test as (SELECT 'Test' as test),
TestB as (SELECT 'Test B' as test)
SELECT ta.test, tb.test, 'Success' as result
FROM Test ta, TestB tb
Will fail with the following error message:
"Undefined table Test"
;WITH Test as (SELECT 'Test' as test),
TestB as (SELECT 'Test B' as test)
SELECT ta.test, tb.test, 'Success' as result
FROM Test ta, TestB tb
Will return no columns and no rows.
Any idea why this happens?
Edit A:
Here a (shorternd) Version of my actual query:
WITH calls AS (
SELECT acv.id
, acv.created
, acv.state
, acv.statistics_category
, acv.duration
, aqv.id as queue_id
, aqv.name as queue_name
, acv.target
, acv.target_name
, acv.queue_time
, acv.ringing_duration
, acv.hold_time
FROM acd_call_view acv
LEFT JOIN acd_queue_view aqv ON (aqv.id = acv.fk_acdqueue_id)
ORDER BY acv.id, acv.created
),
calls_answered as (
SELECT *
FROM calls
WHERE statistics_category = 'answered'
)
SELECT * FROM calls_answered
Result: "Unknown table calls"
Edit B:
Sorry, had two leftovers from the shortening remaining in the query
Edit C:
Tested Query in pgAdmin III: Working
Tested Query in JasperSoft Studio: Working
Tested Query in MS Report Builder with PGNP: "Undefined table calls"
Edit D:
As soon as I remove the second CTE, I get results
WITH calls AS (
SELECT acv.id
, acv.created
, acv.state
, acv.statistics_category
, acv.duration
, aqv.id as queue_id
, aqv.name as queue_name
, acv.target
, acv.target_name
, acv.queue_time
, acv.ringing_duration
, acv.hold_time
FROM acd_call_view acv
LEFT JOIN acd_queue_view aqv ON (aqv.id = acv.fk_acdqueue_id)
ORDER BY acv.id, acv.created
)
SELECT * FROM calls
Works fine, so I get results, the PGNP Ole DB Driver seems to work fine, the connection is up, everything is okay.
As soon, as I add the second CTE, I get the error

Answer 1

Works here (just plain psql terminal) , so the error must be in your framework/client application:
CREATE TABLE acd_call_view
( id INTEGER NOT NULL
, created timestamp
, state integer
, statistics_category text
, duration INTEGER
, target INTEGER
, target_name INTEGER
, queue_time INTEGER
, ringing_duration INTEGER
, hold_time INTEGER
, fk_acdqueue_id INTEGER
);
CREATE TABLE acd_queue_view
( id INTEGER NOT NULL
, name text
);
WITH calls AS (
SELECT acv.id
, acv.created
, acv.state
, acv.statistics_category
, acv.duration
, aqv.id as queue_id
, aqv.name as queue_name
, acv.target
, acv.target_name
, acv.queue_time
, acv.ringing_duration
, acv.hold_time
FROM acd_call_view acv
LEFT JOIN acd_queue_view aqv ON aqv.id = acv.fk_acdqueue_id
ORDER BY acv.id, acv.created
)
, calls_answered as (
SELECT *
FROM calls
WHERE statistics_category = 'answered'
)
SELECT * FROM calls_answered
;

Answer 2

Okay, here the solution:
Seems like the PGNP OleDB Driver cannot handle multiple CTEs.
Installed the ODBC Driver and configured a new DateSource via ODBC.
Now I get my results and am happy :-)
Nevertherless, thank you joop for your time.

Answer 3

I contacted PGNP support, and they responded quickly that the bugs in the CTEs handling were fixed in build 1.4.0.3425.
