Summary19799: No access to the panelintegration page - returns a 500 error (related to MSSQL).
Description

A few days ago, I set up a clean instance of the LS project in version 6.6.3.
When accessing the page: "surveyAdministration/rendersidemenulink&subaction=panelintegration&surveyid=246225

It returns an error:
CDbCommand failed to execute the SQL statement: SQLSTATE[07002]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]COUNT field incorrect or syntax error. The SQL statement executed was: SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT [t].[id]) FROM [dbo].[lime_survey_url_parameters] [t] LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[lime_questions] [question] ON ([t].[targetqid]=[question].[qid]) LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[lime_question_l10ns] [questionl10ns] ON ([questionl10ns].[qid]=[question].[qid]) LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[lime_questions] [subquestion] ON ([t].[targetsqid]=[subquestion].[qid]) LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[lime_question_l10ns] [subquestionl10ns] ON ([subquestionl10ns].[qid]=[subquestion].[qid]) WHERE (((t.sid=:surveyid) AND (questionl10ns.language=:language OR questionl10ns.language IS NULL)) AND (subquestionl10ns.language=:language OR subquestionl10ns.language IS NULL)). Bound with :surveyid='246225', :language='pl'

ls-new-v663\vendor\yiisoft\yii\framework\db\CDbCommand.php(543)
543: throw new CDbException(Yii::t('yii','CDbCommand failed to execute the SQL statement: {error}',

Steps To Reproduce

The problem somewhat relates to how parameters are bound in a complex SQL query. I can't pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. I conducted tests with different configurations, and each parameter binding method results in failure.

Attached, I am providing the results of the tests:

  • Test 1 and 2: These are just basic verifications.

  • Test 3: Here is a simulation of the original SQL query that generates the error. Invoked as follows:
    $command = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql);
    $result = $command->queryScalar($params);

  • Test 4: This uses bindValue as follows:
    $command = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql);
    $command->bindValue(":surveyid", (int) $params[':surveyid']);
    $command->bindValue(":language", $params[':language']);
    $result = $command->queryScalar();

  • Test 5: This is the same as test 3 but executed using PDO:
    $pdo = new PDO('sqlsrv:Server=localhost;Database=ls-new-v663-20240918', 'username', 'pass');
    $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
    $stmt->execute($params);

The remaining tests are based on the traditional method, which refers to "test 3" but modifies the original SQL, and interestingly, all pass successfully.

  • Test 7: This checks whether it works well when the values are passed directly in SQL (without binding).
    $result = $command->queryScalar();

  • Test 8: This checks whether it works when only the 'parameter is passed while 'language' is specified in the SQL query
    $result = $command->queryScalar($params);

  • Test 9: This checks passing both parameters, but in such a way that only one 'language' is set as a parameter while the other is hardcoded in the SQL.

  • Test 10: This checks passing both parameters but removes "subquestionl10ns.language='pl'" from the SQL.

Conclusions: The problem is that I don’t understand why parameter binding works when appears once in the SQL query, but when it appears twice, it doesn’t work.

The issue is that when the parameter ":languange" appears once in SQL, parameter binding works correctly; however, when it appears twice, it fails. This is clearly demonstrated by the results of tests 7 to 10. I don't understand why this problem only occurs with the MSSQL database.
