EDatabaseError while opening MSSQL temporal tables

matsg's profile image matsg posted 1 year ago in General Permalink

HeidiSQL throws an exception when trying to view a Microsoft SQL Server temporal table. (For reference, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/tables/temporal-tables?view=sql-server-ver16).

It's kind of weird, the moment you click the "Data" tab to view the table contents, it throws an EDatabaseError saying "List index out of bounds (nn)."

The problem should be easily reproducible with a docker MSSQL image from Microsoft, and a sample system-versioned (temporal) table created.

It's just maddening because HeidiSQL is so awesome, even for SQL Server, but as we migrate more and more of our tables to temporal tables, I can use it ever less. Being forced to use SSMS is like having to do numerical methods with an abacus.

HeidiSQL version 12.3.0.6589.

Can I reproduce it without Docker, probably by creating a temporary table myself?

I just tried reproducing it myself to isolate a good test case, and now I can't reproduce it. I'll have to narrow it down and see what's going on.
