DOCUMENT:Q169426 04-JAN-2000 [odbc] TITLE :BUG: Temp SP Generated by SQLPrepare Is Not Dropped PRODUCT :Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) PROD/VER:WINDOWS:2.65 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbprogramming ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server, version 2.65 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUG #: 16643 (SQL) SYMPTOMS ======== If the SQLSetStmtOption parameter SQL_USE_PROCEDURE_FOR_PREPARE is set to the value SQL_UP_ON_DROP, the temporary stored procedure generated should be dropped upon the SQLFreeStmt call with SQL_DROP. However, the temporary stored procedure generated by SQLPrepare is not dropped until SQLDisconnect if SQLServer execute syntax is used. This may cause the tempdb to fill up. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, use the ODBC syntax (for example, {call sp1}). STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver version 2.65. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
