<div><div class="section"></div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Purpose</h4> <p><samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> retrieves data for a
single column in the current row of the result set. This is an alternative
to <samp class="codeph">SQLBindCol()</samp>, which transfers data directly into application
variables on a call to <samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp>. <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> is
also used to retrieve large character based data in pieces.</p>
<p><samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp> must
be called before <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp>.</p>
<p>After calling <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> for
each column, <samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp> is called to retrieve the next row.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Usage</h4><div class="p"><samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> can be used with <samp class="codeph">SQLBindCol()</samp> for
the same row, as long as the value of <em>icol</em> does not specify a column
that has been bound. The general steps are: <ol><li><samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp> - advances cursor to first row, retrieves
first row, transfers data for bound columns.</li>
<li><samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> - transfers data for specified (unbound)
column.</li>
<li>Repeat step 2 for each column needed.</li>
<li><samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp> - advances cursor to next row, retrieves next
row, transfers data for bound columns.</li>
<li>Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for each row in the result set, or until the result
set is no longer needed.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p><samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> retrieves long columns if the C
data type (<em>fCType</em>) is SQL_CHAR or if <em>fCType</em> is SQL_DEFAULT and
the column type is CHAR or VARCHAR.</p>
<p>On each <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> call,
if the data available for return is greater than or equal to <em>cbValueMax</em>,
truncation occurs. A function return code of SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO that is
coupled with an SQLSTATE that denotes data truncation indicates truncation.
The application can call <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> again, with the same <em>icol</em> value,
to obtain later data from the same unbound column starting at the point of
truncation. To obtain the entire column, the application repeats such calls
until the function returns SQL_SUCCESS. The next call to <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> returns
SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND.</p>
<p>To discard the column data part way through the
retrieval, the application can call <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> with <em>icol</em> set
to the next column position of interest. To discard unretrieved data for the
entire row, the application should call <samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp> to advance
the cursor to the next row; or, if it is not interested in any more data from
the result set, call <samp class="codeph">SQLFreeStmt()</samp> to close the cursor.</p>
<p>The <em>fCType</em> input
argument determines the type of data conversion (if any) needed before the
column data is placed into the storage area pointed to by <em>rgbValue</em>.</p>
<p>The
contents returned in rgbValue is always null-terminated unless <samp class="codeph">SQLSetEnvAttr()</samp> is
used to change the SQL_ATTR_OUTPUT_NTS attribute or if the application is
retrieving the data in multiple chunks. If the application is retrieving the
data in multiple chunks, the null-terminating byte is only added to the last
portion of data. </p>
<p>Truncation of numeric data types is not reported
if the truncation involves digits to the right of the decimal point. If truncation
occurs to the left of the decimal point, an error is returned (refer to the
diagnostics section).</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Return codes</h4><ul><li>SQL_SUCCESS</li>
<li>SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO</li>
<li>SQL_ERROR</li>
<li>SQL_INVALID_HANDLE</li>
<li>SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND</li>
</ul>
<p>SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND is returned when the preceding <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> call
has retrieved all of the data for this column.</p>
<p>SQL_SUCCESS is returned
if a zero-length string is retrieved by <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp>. If this
is the case, <em>pcbValue</em> contains 0, and <em>rgbValue</em> contains a null
terminator.</p>
<p>If the preceding call to <samp class="codeph">SQLFetch()</samp> fails, <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> should
not be called because the result is undefined.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Restrictions</h4><p>ODBC requires that <em>icol</em> not
specify a column of a lower number than the column last retrieved by <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> for
the same row on the same statement handle. ODBC also does not permit the use
of <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCol()</samp> to retrieve data for a column that resides
before the last bound column, (if any columns in the row have been bound).</p>
<p>DB2 UDB
CLI has relaxed both of these rules by allowing the value of <em>icol</em> to
be specified in any order and before a bound column, provided that <em>icol</em> does
not specify a bound column.</p>
