The last procedure that must be completed before ending an ODBC
application is to free the resources and memory allocated by the application.
This must be done so that they are available when the application is run the
next time.
- SQLFreeStmt
- Stops processing associated with a specific statement handle.
rc = SQLFreeStmt(hstmt, option); // option can be SQL_CLOSE, SQL_RESET_PARAMS. or SQL_UNBIND
- SQL_CLOSE
- Closes the cursor associated with the statement handle, and discards all
pending results. Alternately, you can use SQLCloseCursor.
- SQL_RESET_PARAMS
- Releases all common buffers that are bound by SQLBindParameter.
- SQL_UNBIND
- Releases all common buffers that are bound by SQLBindCol.
- SQLFreeHandle with SQL_HANDLE_STMT as the handle type
- Frees all resources for this statement.
rc = SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hstmt);
- SQLDisconnect
- Closes the connection associated with a specific connection handle.
rc = SQLDisconnect(hdbc);
- SQLFreeHandle with SQL_HANDLE_DBC as the handle type
- Releases connection handle and frees all memory associated with a connection
handle.
rc = SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, hdbc);
- SQLFreeHandle with SQL_HANDLE_ENV as the handle type
- Frees environment handle and releases all memory associated with the environment
handle.
rc = SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, henv);
