SQLOLEDB reports some error and status information in the OLE DB-defined error interfaces IErrorInfo, IErrorRecords, and ISQLErrorInfo.
SQLOLEDB supports IErrorInfo member functions as follows.
| Member function | Description |
| GetDescription | A descriptive error message string. |
| GetGUID | The GUID of the interface that defined the error. |
| GetHelpContext | Not supported. Returns zero always. |
| GetHelpFile | Not supported. Returns NULL always. |
| GetSource | The string Sqloledb.dll. |
SQLOLEDB supports consumer-available IErrorRecords member functions as follows.
| Member function | Description |
| GetBasicErrorInfo | Fills an ERRORINFO structure with basic information about an error. An ERRORINFO structure contains members that identify the HRESULT return value for the error and the provider and interface on which the error applies. |
| GetCustomErrorObject | Returns a reference on an ISQLErrorInfo interface. |
| GetErrorInfo | Returns a reference on an IErrorInfo interface. |
| GetErrorParameters | SQLOLEDB does not return parameters to the consumer through GetErrorParameters. |
| GetRecordCount | The count of error records available. |
SQLOLEDB supports ISQLErrorInfo::GetSQLInfo parameters as follows.
| Parameter | Description |
| pbstrSQLState | Returns a SQLSTATE representing for the error. SQLSTATE values are defined in the ANSI SQL92, ODBC and ISO SQL, and API specifications. Neither Microsoft SQL Server nor SQLOLEDB define implementation-specific SQLSTATE values. |
| plNativeError | Returns the SQL Server error number from master.dbo.sysmessages when available. Native errors are available after a successful attempt to initialize a SQLOLEDB data source. Prior to the attempt, SQLOLEDB always returns zero. |
