<h1 class="topictitle1">SQLFetch and SQLGetData</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p><strong>SQLGetData</strong> provides an alternative to <strong>SQLBindCol</strong> to
|
||
|
|
retrieve data from the columns of a retrieved row. It can only be called after
|
||
|
|
calling fetch APIs and when the array size is 1.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"></div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>As a general rule, <strong>SQLBindCol</strong> is preferable to <strong>SQLGetData</strong>.
|
||
|
|
There is less performance overhead; you need to run <strong>SQLBindCol</strong> only
|
||
|
|
once rather than after every fetch. However, there are special considerations
|
||
|
|
for using <strong>SQLBindCol</strong> in Visual Basic.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Visual Basic moves character strings to different locations to
|
||
|
|
conserve memory. If a string variable is bound to a column, the memory that
|
||
|
|
is referenced by a subsequent <strong>SQLFetch</strong> may not place the data in the
|
||
|
|
desired variable. It is likely that a <strong>General Protection Fault</strong> will
|
||
|
|
result. A similar problem can occur with <strong>SQLBindParameter</strong>.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Using strings in Visual Basic is not recommended. One way to avoid
|
||
|
|
this problem is to use <strong>byte arrays</strong>. Byte arrays are of a fixed size
|
||
|
|
and are not subject to movement in memory.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Another circumvention is to employ Windows<sup>®</sup> memory allocation API functions
|
||
|
|
that are documented in the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp">Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Development Library</a> Knowledge
|
||
|
|
Base. However, this method involves some difficult programming that is not
|
||
|
|
totally transportable between Windows 3.1 and later releases.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Using <strong>SQLGetData</strong> rather than <strong>SQLBindCol</strong> and <strong>SQLParamData</strong> and <strong>SQLPutData</strong> in
|
||
|
|
conjunction with <strong>SQLBindParameter</strong> produce software that is more in
|
||
|
|
keeping with Visual Basic. However, this method involves some difficult programming.</p>
