    > Test complete version is 12.42. Machine is 64-bit machine.

    32-bit and 64-bit flavors of TestComplete are installed on 64-bit OSes.

    Help|About window in TestComplete will show you the current bitness.

    32-bit flavor of TestComplete can be found in <TestComplete>\bin\ folder while 64-bit flavor lives in the <TestComplete>\x64\bin\ one.

     

    > 32-bit driver(C:\Windows\SysWOW64)

    This means that you *must* use 32-bit TestComplete.

    Hi,

     

    The same commands worked when I executed the script in 32-bit test complete. Thanks a lot :)

Hi,

 

I suspect that connection string is not correct. At least, samples at https://www.connectionstrings.com/ingres/ differ from yours.

You can use https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/Can-anyone-help-me-how-to-access-Mongo-database/m-p/86460#M20415 approach to check if connection parameters are correct and it is possible to connect to the server and use final connection string in your test code in TestComplete than.

 

Update: And yes, Robert is correct about bitness - you must use 32-bit driver and OLEDB provider for 32-bit TestComplete and 64-bit ones for TestComplete 64-bit. To deal with 32-bit DSNs you must start odbcad32 utility from <Windows>\SysWOW64 folder

So, if you're using a 32-bit driver but running a 64-bit copy of TestComplete, that, right there, could be another part of your problem.  Try running your code using the 32-bit version of TestComplete (available in the bin folder) and see if that improves things... of course, check your connection string as well as you could have two problems compounding each other.
