Decimal invalid operation error occurs when a SELECT SQL query against a Virtual Table containing DECIMAL datatype column is executed

Troubleshooting

Problem

When a SELECT SQL query against a Virtual Table which has a DECIMAL datatype column is executed using pyodbc version 4.0.17 then an error “decimal invalid operation” occurs.

Symptom

Virtual Table has a column SMF74DTE with DECIMAL datatype as shown below.

When a SELECT SQL query is executed then it gave "decimal invalid operation" error for DECIMAL datatype column (SMF74DTE).

>>> cursor.execute("SELECT SMF74DTE FROM SMF_07404__IFASMF_SMF70T79_JA0_INMEM LIMIT 100")
<pyodbc.Cursor object at 0x3ffb42ad090>
>>> for row in cursor:
...   print(row)
...

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
decimal.InvalidOperation: [<class 'decimal.ConversionSyntax'>]
