xcall SQL, SQLOP_SET_STMATR, cmdhdr, optionval

This function is used in the ODBC interface to set attributes associated with statements (queries) as opposed to connections.

Parameters

cmdhdr (ST_SQL_CMDHDR), [in/out]

The fields of interest to this opcode in the cmdhdr structure (defined in SQL.DEF) are listed below.

Field

Dir

Notes

handle

in

handle to connection (returned from SQLOP_INIT_CONN)

dbmsconid

in

DBMS Connector ID

opflags

in

Set to one of the SQL_ATTR_xxx values from the table below

cmdarg1,2

n/a

 

rc

out

return code (0 = ok, see SQLERR_xxx)

rcext

out

extended error code

info1,2

n/a

 

sqlstate

out

ANSI standard SQL state code

reshdl

n/a

 

psthdl

in

Set to 0 unless setting attributes specifically for a certain prepared statement.

 

optionval [num,in]

Numeric value from which to set the attribute specified in opflags. See table below.

opflags Symbol (ODBC)

Value

Notes

SQL_ATTR_ASYNC_ENABLE

4

not yet implemented

SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY

7

SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY (default), SQL_CONCUR_LOCK, SQL_CONCUR_ROWVER, SQL_CONCUR_VALUES

SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLLABLE

-1

SQL_NONSCROLLABLE (default), SQL_SCROLLABLE

SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SENSITIVITY

-2

SQL_UNSPECIFIED (default), SQL_INSENSITIVE, SQL_SENSITIVE

SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE

6

SQL_CURSOR_FORWARD_ONLY (default), SQL_CURSOR_KEYSET_DRIVEN, SQL_CURSOR_DYNAMIC, SQL_CURSOR_STATIC. See Cursors and Cursor Types.

SQL_ATTR_KEYSET_SIZE

8

Number of rows in the keyset for a keyset-driven cursor. If 0 (default), cursor is fully keyset-driven, else the cursor is mixed (keyset-driven within the keyset and dynamic outside).

SQL_ATTR_MAX_LENGTH

3

The maximum number of bytes to be returned for a string or blob column. If 0 (default), driver will attempt to return all data; otherwise it will truncate the data returned for a column at the specified maximum length.

SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS

1

The maximum number of rows to return for a SELECT statement. If 0 (default), the driver returns all matching rows. Otherwise the result set is truncated.

SQL_ATTR_NOSCAN

2

If SQL_NOSCAN_OFF (default), the driver scans SQL strings for escape sequences. If SQL_NOSCAN_ON, it doesn’t and instead just sends them directly to the data source.

SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT

0

Number of seconds to wait for an SQL statement to execute before returning. If 0 (default), there is no timeout. Applies to be synchronous and asynchronous modes.

SQL_ATTR_RETRIEVE_DATA

11

to be described / implemented later…

SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE

27

Number of rows returned by each SQLOP_FETCH_ROW operation. Default is1.

SQL_ATTR_ROW_NUMBER

14

(Get only) The number of the current row in the entire result set. If it cannot be determined, or does not exist, 0 is returned.

SQL_ATTR_SIMULATE_CURSOR

10

Options related to whether drivers that simulate positioned update and delete statements guarantee that such statements affect only one row. SQL_SC_NON_UNIQUE, SQL_SC_TRY_UNIQUE, SQL_SC_UNIQUE

SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS

12

SQL_UB_OFF, SQL_UB_FIXED, SQL_UB_VARIABLE

 

Notes

If there is no current statement handle allocated, this call will allocate one and apply the attribute to it. Otherwise it applies the attribute to the current statement handle. The statement handle remains active for subsequent calls to SQLOP_SET_STMATR, SQLOP_GET_STMATR, SQLOP_QUERY, SQLOP_GET_COLDEFS, SQLOP_SET_COLDEFS, SQLOP_FETCH_ROW and SQLOP_FREE_RESULT.

As each call to SQLOP_SET_STMATR can only set one attribute, you may need to call it several times if you have several attributes to set.

To avoid having to re-establish the same set of statement attributes prior to each SQLOP_QUERY, use one of the SQLOP_FREE_RESULT options other than SQL_DROP.

If rcext is returned non-zero, this suggests that the driver may have substituted the value you attempted to set with one that it could support. To determine just what it is, you may call SQLOP_GET_STMATR (see above).

See the ++include module SQL:FNSQLATR.BSI for functions which simplify the setting of attributes.
