PRSQL9012027: DB-LIBRARY Returns Incorrect Error Level

ID Number: Q67892

buglist1.10 fixlist1.12

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: PRSQL9012027

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to open a connection to a SQL Server that does not

exist, the DB-LIBRARY error handler returns a severity level of

"EXCONSISTENCY, internal software error - notify customer support."

It should return "EXCOMM, Failure in communication with Server -

the DBPROCESS is dead."

Similarly, when a query to a server that does exist exceeds its

timeout period, a severity level of EXCOMM will be returned rather

than a security level of EXTIME. In this case, the DBPROCESS is

still alive and subsequent queries can still be sent to the server.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DB-LIBRARY (dblib)

version 1.10. This problem has been corrected in an updated version

of dblibs that are available from Microsoft Product Support

Services. For more information, contact your authorized network

specialist.
