The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft ODBC for Oracle version 2.0, versions Build 2.73.7269, Build 2.73.7283.01, Build 2.73.7283.03
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If static cursors are used with the Microsoft Oracle ODBC driver, extended ANSI
characters are over-written the second time any particular record is read.
RESOLUTION
==========
Use dynamic cursors instead of static cursors or upgrade to version 2.573.2927
of the Microsoft Oracle ODBC driver.
STATUS
======
This problem has been fixed in the 2.573.2927 version of the Microsoft Oracle
ODBC driver. This driver can be found in the Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC) 2.0, Data Access Software Development Kit (DASDK) 2.0, and Visual Studio
6.0. This driver can be downloaded with the new Data Access SDK version 2.0 from
the following Web address:
http://www.microsoft.com/data/

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
Create and Execute the following Console application. The statements to create
the table and records are at the bottom of the code. Change the UID, PWD, and
DSN in the code to match your server configuration.
You should see the last letter change when you reselect the first record in the
table.
The data source must be set up correctly to see the behavior.
Steps to Set up the Driver
--------------------------
1. Create Oracle Data Source.
2. Add User Name.
3. Add Server name.
4. From the Options menu, choose Translation and then choose the Select button.
5. Choose "MS Code Page3 Translator".
6. Choose Windows Latin 1 (1252)/850.
Create the table on the Oracle Server in SQL*Plus with the following code:
create table myTest (id_num int, last_name char(25));
insert into myTest(id_num,last_name) values (1,'johny[ASCII 224]');
insert into myTest(id_num,last_name) values (2,'smith[ASCII 232]');
insert into myTest(id_num,last_name) values (2,'james');
Use the following line once you have tested the problem to remove the table from
the Oracle server:
DROP TABLE myTest;
// Begin sample code.
#define STR_LEN 128+1
#include <windows.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <sqlext.h>
#include <odbcinst.h>

/* Connect to data source */
retcode = SQLConnect(hdbc, (SQLCHAR*) "NCORACLE73", SQL_NTS,

SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO){
/* Allocate statement handle */
retcode = SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hdbc, &hstmt);
if (retcode == SQL_SUCCESS || retcode ==
SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO) {
retcode = SQLSetStmtAttr(hstmt,SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY,
(void *)SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY ,SQL_NTS);
// Fails with static cursor but works with Dynamic.
// Change parameter 3 in line below to SQL_CURSOR_STATIC or
// SQL_CURSOR_DYNAMIC to switch cursor type.
retcode = SQLSetStmtAttr(hstmt,SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE,
(void *) SQL_CURSOR_STATIC ,SQL_NTS);
retcode = SQLPrepare(hstmt,(unsigned char *)"SELECT *
FROM myTest", SQL_NTS);
retcode = SQLExecute(hstmt);
retcode = SQLBindCol(hstmt,2,SQL_C_CHAR, szLastName,
STR_LEN,(long*) cbLastName);
//SQLFetchScroll
retcode = SQLFetchScroll(hstmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0);
cout << "Printing Record 1: " << szLastName << "\n";
retcode = SQLFetchScroll(hstmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0);
cout << "Printing Record 2: " << szLastName << "\n";
retcode = SQLFetchScroll(hstmt, SQL_FETCH_FIRST, 0);
cout << "Printing Record 1: " << szLastName << "\n";
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hstmt);
}
SQLDisconnect(hdbc);
}
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, hdbc);
}
}
SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, henv);
}
return 1;
