BUG: Incorrect Declarations in vbdemo Program

• Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

The vbdemo program, included with the Open Database Connectivity Software Development Kit (ODBC SDK) version 2.0, has incorrect declarations for the following functions in odbcor_m.bi and odbcext_m.bi header files: SQLGetData, SQLBindCol, SQLColumns, SQLSpecialColumns, SQLStatistics, SQLTables, SQLProcedures, SQLProcedureColumns, and SQLPrimaryKeys.

The correct declarations are:

NOTE: The declarations should not wrap over multiple lines in the VB program.

// ByVal should be removed from rgbValue as below
Declare Function SQLBindCol Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
icol%, ByVal fCType%, rgbValue As Any, ByVal cbValueMax&, pcbValue&)
As Integer

// Byval should be removed from rgbValue as below
Declare Function SQLGetData Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
icol%, ByVal fCType%,  rgbValue As Any, ByVal cbValueMax&, pcbValue&)
As Integer

//For SQLColumns, SQLSpecialColumns ,SQLStatistics, SQLTables,
// SQLProcedureColumns ,SQLProcedures and SQLPrimaryKeys
declarations, the table qualifer,
// table name, and other name arguments should be suffixed with a '$'
instead of '&', because
// strings are being passed.

Declare Function SQLColumns Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal
cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal szColName$,
ByVal cbColName%) As Integer

Declare Function SQLSpecialColumns Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&,
ByVal fColType%, ByVal szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal
szTblOwner$, ByVal cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%,
ByVal fScope%, ByVal fNullable%) As Integer

Declare Function SQLStatistics Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal
cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal fUnique%,
ByVal fAccuracy%) As Integer

Declare Function SQLTables Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal
cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%, ByVal szTblType$,
ByVal cbTblType%) As Integer

Declare Function SQLProcedures Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szProcQualifier$, ByVal cbProcQualifier%, ByVal szProcOwner$, ByVal
cbProcOwner%, ByVal szProcName$, ByVal cbProcName%) As Integer

Declare Function SQLProcedureColumns Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&,
ByVal szProcQualifier$, ByVal cbProcQualifier%, ByVal szProcOwner$,
ByVal cbProcOwner%, ByVal szProcName$, ByVal cbProcName%, ByVal
szColName$, ByVal cbColName%) As Integer

Declare Function SQLPrimaryKeys Lib "odbc.dll" (ByVal hstmt&, ByVal
szTblQualifier$, ByVal cbTblQualifier%, ByVal szTblOwner$, ByVal
cbTblOwner%, ByVal szTblName$, ByVal cbTblName%) As Integer
