BUG #: 4622 (ODBC30)

SYMPTOMS

When SQL_ODBC_CURSORS is set to SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC using the SQLSetConnectOption and a connection to a data source is made, the next call to SQLSetConnectOption to set the SQL_CURRENT_QUALIFIER or SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_CATALOG fails with the following message:

szSqlState = "S1009", *pfNativeError = 0, *pcbErrorMsg = 55
szErrorMsg = "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid argument value"

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use SQLSetConnectOption to set the SQL_ODBC_CURSORS to SQL_CUR_USE_IF_NEEDED or SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER. The ODBC Cursor Library version 3.00.2822 resolves this issue.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Open Database Connectivity version 3.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 3.0. For more information, contact your primary support provider.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is only seen with ODBC 2.X applications using a Driver Manager 3.0 and a 2.X ODBC driver.
