BUG# ODBCSDK: 2714

SYMPTOMS

The vbdemo program, included with the Open Database Connectivity Software Development Kit (ODBC SDK) version 2.0, has incorrect declarations for the following functions in odbcor_m.bi and odbcext_m.bi header files: SQLGetData, SQLBindCol, SQLColumns, SQLSpecialColumns, SQLStatistics, SQLTables, SQLProcedures, SQLProcedureColumns, and SQLPrimaryKeys.

The correct declarations are:

NOTE: The declarations should not wrap over multiple lines in the VB program. 

// ByVal should be removed from rgbValue as below
Declare Function SQLBindCol Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
icol%, ByVal fCType%, rgbValue As Any, ByVal cbValueMax&, pcbValue&) As Integer 

// Byval should be removed from rgbValue as below
Declare Function SQLGetData Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
icol%, ByVal fCType%, rgbValue As Any, ByVal cbValueMax&, pcbValue&) As Integer 

//For SQLColumns, SQLSpecialColumns ,SQLStatistics, SQLTables,
// SQLProcedureColumns ,SQLProcedures and SQLPrimaryKeys
declarations, the table qualifer, 
// table name, and other name arguments should be suffixed with a '$'
instead of '&', because 
// strings are being passed.

Declare Function SQLColumns Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal szColName$, ByVal cbColName%) As Integer 

Declare Function SQLSpecialColumns Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&,
ByVal fColType%, ByVal szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal fScope%, ByVal fNullable%) As Integer 

Declare Function SQLStatistics Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal fUnique%, ByVal fAccuracy%) As Integer 

Declare Function SQLTables Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal szTblType$, ByVal cbTblType%) As Integer 

Declare Function SQLProcedures Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szProcQualifier$, ByVal cbProcQualifier%, ByVal szProcOwner$, ByVal cbProcOwner%, ByVal szProcName$, ByVal cbProcName%) As Integer 

Declare Function SQLProcedureColumns Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&,
ByVal szProcQualifier$, ByVal cbProcQualifier%, ByVal szProcOwner$, ByVal cbProcOwner%, ByVal szProcName$, ByVal cbProcName%, ByVal szColName$, ByVal cbColName%) As Integer 

Declare Function SQLPrimaryKeys Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%) As Integer
