BUG#: 15039
SYMPTOMS
If a DB-library application calls dbcursorfetch() or dbcursorfetchex() successfully in one thread, subsequent calls to dbcursoropen() or dbclose() from other threads using the same DBPROCESS would be blocked. Sp_who and sp_lock show no blockage on the server side, and the DB-library application would appear to hang.
CAUSE
dbcursorfetch() and dbcursorfetchex() do not release the Semaphore on SUCCEED.
WORKAROUND
Use a separate DBPROCESS for each thread.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
