BUG: SAF & SQL Admin Display Incomplete Batch Results

• Microsoft SQL Server, version 4.2 for OS/2

SYMPTOMS

In SAF and the SQL Administrator, if a batch query contains errors, the result windows do not display the entire result set. Instead, the result set is incomplete, even though the batch is not aborted.

To see this behavior, first create a table with a unique index:

   create table t (c int)
   create unique clustered index tind on t (c)
   insert t values(0)
   go

   insert t values(0)       /* insert duplicate key */
   insert t values(1)
   select 1
   insert t values(0)       /* insert duplicate key */
   insert t values(2)
   select 2
   insert t values(0)       /* insert duplicate key */
   insert t values(3)
   select 3

CAUSE

In SAF, the result window displays only the result of the SQL statements after the first error and before the second error. In the sample query, only "1" appears in the result window, along with two error messages about trying to insert a duplicate key. The rest of the result seems to remain in the buffer. If you execute the same query again, and the batch has more than two errors (as in the sample query), the following error occurs:

   SQL Server Error (Severity 7 errorno 10038 os-1)
      Continue SAF?
   Attempt to initiate a new SQL Server operation
   with result pending.

No such behaviors occur in ISQL.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

NOTE: This problem also occurs in SAF versions 1.1x.
