Your answer in the part of SAP HANA (J)ODBC driver not supporting named parameters actually makes sense. However I don't understand why would there be a difference between PDO and regular odbc (odbc_connect, etc.) commands since they're obviously using the same driver. My testing machine is on Windows and when using raw odbc commands, I pass in the driver parameter 'HDBODBC32'. If I use PDO, I have to pass in the ODBC DSN, which is created in the Windows ODBC management tool. I double checked and the driver in use is the same. So what bugs me is why would raw odbc commands accept parameters with ? and $ notations but PDO doesn't accept neither (well, query executes but doesn't return any results). I'd like to try and debug the PDO module but unfortunately that's beyond my knowledge and time frame for the moment :) Perhaps any advice on this, debugging PDO? If nothing else, using PDO would at least unify the database access accross my application and it does seem cleaner to use.
