BUG: Access Driver Returns Incorrect pcbValue

ID: Q106480

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 1.0

BUG# ODBCDBASE: 1858 (1.01.1928)

SYMPTOMS

The ODBC Access driver returns incorrect pcbValue when a column with the ODBC SQL type SQL_TIMESTAMP is converted to SQL_C_DATE via SQLBindCol or SQLGetData.

The following assumes that there is a table called DATETEST in which column number 2 is a column of type datetime:

SQLExecDirect the statement:
```
select * from DATETEST 
```

Do a SQLBindCol on col #2 so that fCType is SQL_C_DATE.

Do a SQLFetch.

Examine the value of *pcbValue.

It will be 10; while the expected =6.

The same (invalid) pcbValue is returned if, instead of SQLBindCol, data is retrieved through SQLGetData with fCType = SQL_C_DATE.

Correct pcbValue is returned when fCType = SQL_C_TIME.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Access Driver version 1.01.1928. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
