PRB: SQLSetDescField Appears to Call Itself

ID: Q166078

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When SQLSetDescField is called, the ODBC 3.0 trace log may show two calls made to SQLSetDescField. The second call to SQLSetDescField may be embedded within the first, giving the appearance that SQLSetDescField called itself.

CAUSE

SQLSetDescField uses a helper function that has an extra copy of the trace function found in SQLSetDescField. This causes SQLSetDescField to show up twice in the trace log, giving the appearance that SQLSetDescField called itself.

WORKAROUND

Ignore the second call to SQLSetDescField in the trace log.
