BUG: ODBC: SQLGetProp Causes IC Error in Debug Window

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

An internal consistency (IC) error occurs when you attempt to view the properties of a connection using SQLGetProp in the DEBUG window.

CAUSE

You are using an invalid connection handle in the SQLGetProp() function in the DEBUG window.

WORKAROUND

Print the return value of SQLGetProp() to the desktop or currently active window using ? or \ printing as in this example:

   ? SQLGETPROP(<handle>, "BATCHMODE")

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Create an ODBC data source based on the Oracle 7.0 driver.

2. Create a database with a remote view based on the data source created in step 1.

3. Open the remote view.

4. Open the Debug window, and type the following line in the left pane:

         SQLGetProp(3, "BATCHMODE")
   

   In this example, 3 is an invalid connection handle.
