BUG# ODBCSDK: 2714

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
