BUG: Timeout Setting Ignored with Keyset-Driven Server Cursor

ID: Q161353

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0
Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, versions 2.5, 3.0

BUG #: 15679 sql60

SYMPTOMS

The SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT setting may be ignored when using Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 keyset-driven cursors. The ODBC application may wait forever for the SQL statement to complete, even if the ODBC application uses the SQLSetStmtOption/SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT option to specify the timeout for a query. The ODBC application may get the timeout expired error only after the SQL statement execution is completed.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use a DYNAMIC cursor.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0 and Open Database Connectivity versions 2.5 and 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
