Rowset Options Tab

The Rowset Options item on the Tools menu displays the Rowset Options dialog box, which controls the values displayed in rowset windows and how rowset buffers are allocated.

Status Values. If selected, ODBC Test displays the value of the RowStatusArray specified in SQLFetchScroll at the start of each row in the rowset window.

Length Values. If selected, ODBC Test displays the value of the StrLen_or_IndPtr buffer bound with SQLBindCol at the end of each column in the rowset window.

Column Names. If selected, ODBC Test displays the name of each column in the rowset window.

Reserved Rows. Specifies the number of extra rows to allocate in the rowset buffers used with SQLFetchScroll and SQLSetPos. These rows are usually used to add buffers.

Display Rowset Automatically. If selected, ODBC Test automatically displays a rowset window when SQLFetch, SQLFetchScroll, or SQLExtendedFetch is called for the first time. This display requires hidden calls to several ODBC functions, which may mask or obscure driver problems. If cleared, ODBC Test does not automatically display the rowset window, and so does not make the hidden ODBC function calls. The user may display the rowset window manually by using the Display Rowset Function tool in the Results menu. This check box controls the default setting of the Display Rowset check box in the dialog box displayed when SQLFetch, SQLFetchScroll, or SQLExtendedFetch is called.
