The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Embedded SQL for C Programmer's Toolkit, version 6.50

BUG #: 15939 (NT: 6.50)

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to define an ESQL-C cursor using the SCROLL or INSENSITIVE keywords, the precompiler generates a syntax error.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server Embedded SQL for C Programmer's Toolkit version 6.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

A SCROLL cursor allows first, last, and backwards fetch operations.

   EXEC SQL SET CURSORTYPE CUR_STANDARD;
   EXEC SQL SET SCROLLOPTION KEYSET;

   EXEC SQL DECLARE curAuthor CURSOR FOR SELECT au_fname from authors;

An INSENSITIVE cursor has a fixed membership (defined at open) and does not allow updates.

   EXEC SQL SET SCROLLOPTION KEYSET;

   EXEC SQL DECLARE curAuthor CURSOR FOR SELECT au_fname from authors
   FOR READ ONLY;
