Overview of the functions that are defined in the MaxDB ODBC driver for the core API

Function | Remarks
SQLAllocConnect | -
SQLAllocEnv | -
SQLAllocStmt | -
SQLBindCol | If the length specification pcbValueMax is smaller than the length of a bound LONG column, the MaxDB ODBC driver returns the value SQL_NO_TOTAL for pcbValue. In all other cases, pcbValue specifies the length of the copied bytes. You can then fetch other parts of this LONG column with the SQLGetData function.

SQLGetCursorName

Case-sensitive, maximum length 18 characters
Take this into account, for example, with the statement SELECT FOR UPDATE, as identifiers that are not enclosed in quotation marks are automatically converted into uppercase letters.

The MaxDB ODBC driver constructs default values for cursor names in accordance with the following schema:
SQL_CURSOR_nnnn, where nnnn is an internal counter.
SQL_CUR_nnnnnnn, if n >= 10000

SQLNumResultCols | -
SQLPrepare | -
SQLRowCount | Specifies the number of affected rows for all SELECT, INSERT, DELETE statements, and so on. If no result set was created, the value -1 is displayed for the undeterminable number of affected rows.
SQLSetCursorName | -
SQLTransact | -
