Hi, ALL,
I am trying to develop a program that will
use an ODBC connection to different DB.
It will be based on some other C++ library.
What I found is that the comment to the ODBC interface
for this library says following:
// By default, MS Sql Server closes cursors on commit and rollback. The following
// call to SQLSetConnectOption() is needed to force SQL Server to preserve cursors
// after a transaction. This is a driver specific option and is not part of the
// ODBC standard. Note: this behavior is specific to the ODBC interface to SQL Server.
// The database settings don't have any effect one way or the other.
const long SQL_PRESERVE_CURSORS = 1204L;
const long SQL_PC_ON = 1L;
/* retcode = */ SQLSetConnectOption(hdbc, SQL_PRESERVE_CURSORS, SQL_PC_ON);
Is this true for all version of MS SQL Server or just for an old ones?
Is it the same for Sybase as well?
What I will gain/lose when this will be disabled?
Thank you.
