Q88691

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft SQL Server Programmer's Toolkit, version 4.2

SUMMARY
If you use the dbcursorclose function on a DBPROCESS connection, the DB-Library application (SQL Server client application) may do one of the following: stop working altogether, cause a general protection fault (GP fault), or behave abnormally.

MORE INFORMATION
The dbcursorclose documentation on page 107 of the &quot;Programmer's Reference for C&quot; incorrectly states:

"Closing a DBPROCESS connection with dbcursorclose automatically closes all the cursors associated with it."

You should not use dbcursorclose on a DBPROCESS connection. The documentation for dbclose should say:

"Closing a DBPROCESS connection with dbclose automatically closes all the cursors associated with it." Additional query words: Functions DB-Lib dblib prtk
