ASP.NET ODBC Query with parameters

Please help me, I don’t know what can be wrong with the following code:

        OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(connString);
        String query = "INSERT INTO customer (custId, custName, custPass, "+
                       "custEmail, custAddress, custAge) VALUES (" +
                       "@ID, @Name, @Pass, @Email, @Address, @Age)";

        OdbcCommand exe = new OdbcCommand(query, conn);
        exe.Parameters.Add("@ID", OdbcType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = id;
        exe.Parameters.Add("@Name", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = name;
        exe.Parameters.Add("@Pass", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = pass;
        exe.Parameters.Add("@Email", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = email;
        exe.Parameters.Add("@Address", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = address;
        exe.Parameters.Add("@Age", OdbcType.Int).Value = age;
        conn.Open();
        exe.ExecuteNonQuery(); // ERROR [07002] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 6.

This code throws me Too few parameters. error when I am trying to execute query. The database is fine, it works fine when I hardcode values into a query, instead of using parameters.

Thank you.

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

From MSDN:

When CommandType is set to Text, the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC does not support passing named parameters to an SQL statement or to a stored procedure called by an OdbcCommand. In either of these cases, use the question mark (?) placeholder. For example:

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = ?

Rewrite your query to

OdbcConnection conn = new OdbcConnection(connString);
    String query = "INSERT INTO customer (custId, custName, custPass, "+
                   "custEmail, custAddress, custAge) VALUES (" +
                   "?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";

Order of Parameter counts!

EDIT: Parameter can be added this way:

OdbcCommand exe = new OdbcCommand(query, conn);
exe.Parameters.Add("ID", OdbcType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = id;
exe.Parameters.Add("Name", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = name;
exe.Parameters.Add("Pass", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = pass;
exe.Parameters.Add("Email", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = email;
exe.Parameters.Add("Address", OdbcType.VarChar).Value = address;
exe.Parameters.Add("Age", OdbcType.Int).Value = age;

Method 2

One of your columns in your query does not exist.
Please check your column names.

Method 3

Typically you’ll see this when you misspell a column name in your SQL statement. Are you sure of those column names (custId, custName, etc.)?

Method 4

try changing pass to passw maybe it is getting mixed up with asp identifier…
