The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

If the database driver's SQLSetConnectAttr function call fails during a SQLConnect or a SQLDriverConnect function call, the driver manager returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO and SQLSTATE IM006. However, no information from the database driver is returned on why SQLSetConnectAttr failed. In contrast, SQLBrowseConnect returns SQLError along with the error message from the driver.

MORE INFORMATION

When SQLConnect or SQLDriverConnect is called and the database driver has not been loaded, the Driver Manager loads the driver and calls SQLAllocHandle. If connection attributes were specified, the driver manager then calls SQLSetConnectAttr in the driver. However, if the driver's SQLSetConnectAttr function fails, the Driver Manager returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO and SQLSTATE IM006 for the connection function, while the error message from the driver is lost.
