   BOOL *   pbAsynch);

Boolean value indicating whether data is returned asynchronously (1) or not (0).

Return Codes

E_FAIL

Comments

OLEDBSimpleProvider::isAsync should always return the appropriate state; it should never block.

In Java, IOLEDBSimpleProvider::isAsync returns type int instead of Boolean because of how the interface definition is generated. Developers should return 0 for false and a nonzero integer for true.
