bug#24483: 25.1; sql-mode error due to nil prompt-cont-regexp

[Pablo Mercader Alcántara]

Ok, I tried using "sqlcmd" instead of "osql" and the problem remains. Also tried using MySQL instead of MS-SQL-Server to see if I could reproduce the problem, and it has a similar problem, doesn't show any results to any query I write, but doesn't spit the "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" message.

So the problem is not the executable program used to talk to the database. I'm still beating to a problem in sql.el.

Thanks for your help!

Oh, sorry for the cp866 suggestion, my bad, cp850 is probably right for you.

If you're using osql, can you try switching to sqlcmd? Osql had been considered deprected by Microsoft for many years. Sqlcmd is freely downloadable and should be usable with any more or less modern version of SQL Server. The configuration for it that I use looks like this:

(setq sql-ms-program "sqlcmd"
          sql-ms-options (quote ("-W" "-s" "|" "-I")))
