INF: dbcursorclose Documentation Incorrect

ID: Q88691

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server Programmer's Toolkit, version 4.2

SUMMARY

If you use the dbcursorclose function on a DBPROCESS connection, the DB-Library application (SQL Server client application) may do one of the following: stop working altogether, cause a general protection fault (GP fault), or behave abnormally.

MORE INFORMATION

The dbcursorclose documentation on page 107 of the "Programmer's Reference for C" incorrectly states:

Closing a DBPROCESS connection with dbcursorclose automatically closes all the cursors associated with it.

You should not use dbcursorclose on a DBPROCESS connection. The documentation for dbclose should say:

Closing a DBPROCESS connection with dbclose automatically closes all the cursors associated with it.
