SQLGetInfo Function
Conformance
Version Introduced: ODBC 1.0 Standards Compliance: ISO 92
Summary
SQLGetInfo returns general information about the driver and data source associated with a connection.
Syntax
SQLRETURN SQLGetInfo(
SQLHDBC ConnectionHandle,
SQLUSMALLINT InfoType,
SQLPOINTER InfoValuePtr,
SQLSMALLINT BufferLength,
SQLSMALLINT * StringLengthPtr);
Arguments
ConnectionHandle
[Input] Connection handle.
InfoType
[Input] Type of information.
InfoValuePtr
[Output] Pointer to a buffer in which to return the information. Depending on the InfoType requested, the information returned will be one of the following: a null-terminated character string, an SQLUSMALLINT value, an SQLUINTEGER bitmask, an SQLUINTEGER flag, a SQLUINTEGER binary value, or a SQLULEN value.
If the InfoType argument is SQL_DRIVER_HDESC or SQL_DRIVER_HSTMT, the InfoValuePtr argument is both input and output. (See the SQL_DRIVER_HDESC or SQL_DRIVER_HSTMT descriptors later in this function description for more information.)
If InfoValuePtr is NULL, StringLengthPtr will still return the total number of bytes (excluding the null-termination character for character data) available to return in the buffer pointed to by InfoValuePtr.
BufferLength
[Input] Length of the *InfoValuePtr buffer. If the value in *InfoValuePtr is not a character string or if InfoValuePtr is a null pointer, the BufferLength argument is ignored. The driver assumes that the size of *InfoValuePtr is SQLUSMALLINT or SQLUINTEGER, based on the InfoType. If *InfoValuePtr is a Unicode string (when calling SQLGetInfoW), the BufferLength argument must be an even number; if not, SQLSTATE HY090 (Invalid string or buffer length) is returned.
StringLengthPtr
[Output] Pointer to a buffer in which to return the total number of bytes (excluding the null-termination character for character data) available to return in *InfoValuePtr.
For character data, if the number of bytes available to return is greater than or equal to BufferLength, the information in *InfoValuePtr is truncated to BufferLength bytes minus the length of a null-termination character and is null-terminated by the driver.
For all other types of data, the value of BufferLength is ignored and the driver assumes the size of *InfoValuePtr is SQLUSMALLINT or SQLUINTEGER, depending on the InfoType.
Returns
SQL_SUCCESS, SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, SQL_ERROR, or SQL_INVALID_HANDLE.
Diagnostics
When SQLGetInfo returns either SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, an associated SQLSTATE value can be obtained by calling SQLGetDiagRec with a HandleType of SQL_HANDLE_DBC and a Handle of ConnectionHandle. The following table lists the SQLSTATE values typically returned by SQLGetInfo and explains each one in the context of this function; the notation "(DM)" precedes the descriptions of SQLSTATEs returned by the Driver Manager. The return code associated with each SQLSTATE value is SQL_ERROR, unless noted otherwise.
SQLSTATE | Error | Description |
---|---|---|
01000 | General warning | Driver-specific informational message. (Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.) |
01004 | String data, right truncated | The buffer *InfoValuePtr was not large enough to return all the requested information. Therefore, the information was truncated. The length of the requested information in its untruncated form is returned in *StringLengthPtr. (Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.) |
08003 | Connection not open | (DM) The type of information requested in InfoType requires an open connection. Of the information types reserved by ODBC, only SQL_ODBC_VER can be returned without an open connection. |
08S01 | Communication link failure | The communication link between the driver and the data source to which the driver was connected failed before the function completed processing. |
HY000 | General error | An error occurred for which there was no specific SQLSTATE and for which no implementation-specific SQLSTATE was defined. The error message returned by SQLGetDiagRec in the *MessageText buffer describes the error and its cause. |
HY001 | Memory allocation error | The driver was unable to allocate memory that is required to support execution or completion of the function. |
HY010 | Function sequence error | (DM) SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, or SQLMoreResults was called for the StatementHandle and returned SQL_PARAM_DATA_AVAILABLE. This function was called before data was retrieved for all streamed parameters. |
HY013 | Memory management error | The function call could not be processed because the underlying memory objects could not be accessed, possibly because of low memory conditions. |
HY024 | Invalid attribute value | (DM) The InfoType argument was SQL_DRIVER_HSTMT, and the value pointed to by InfoValuePtr was not a valid statement handle. (DM) The InfoType argument was SQL_DRIVER_HDESC, and the value pointed to by InfoValuePtr was not a valid descriptor handle. |
HY090 | Invalid string or buffer length | (DM) The value specified for argument BufferLength was less than 0. (DM) The value specified for BufferLength was an odd number, and *InfoValuePtr was of a Unicode data type. |
HY096 | Information type out of range | The value specified for the argument InfoType was not valid for the version of ODBC supported by the driver. |
HY117 | Connection is suspended due to unknown transaction state. Only disconnect and read-only functions are allowed. | (DM) For more information about suspended state, see SQLEndTran Function. |
HYC00 | Optional field not implemented | The value specified for the argument InfoType was a driver-specific value that is not supported by the driver. |
HYT01 | Connection timeout expired | The connection timeout period expired before the data source responded to the request. The connection timeout period is set through SQLSetConnectAttr, SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT. |
IM001 | Driver does not support this function | (DM) The driver that corresponds to the ConnectionHandle does not support the function. |
Comments
The currently defined information types are shown in "Information Types," later in this section; it is expected that more will be defined to take advantage of different data sources. A range of information types is reserved by ODBC; driver developers must reserve values for their own driver-specific use from Open Group. SQLGetInfo performs no Unicode conversion or thunking (see Appendix A: ODBC Error Codes of the ODBC Programmer's Reference) for driver-defined InfoTypes. For more information, see Driver-Specific Data Types, Descriptor Types, Information Types, Diagnostic Types, and Attributes. The format of the information returned in *InfoValuePtr depends on the InfoType requested. SQLGetInfo will return information in one of five different formats:
A null-terminated character string
An SQLUSMALLINT value
An SQLUINTEGER bitmask
An SQLUINTEGER value
A SQLUINTEGER binary value
The format of each of the following information types is noted in the type's description. The application must cast the value returned in *InfoValuePtr accordingly. For an example of how an application could retrieve data from a SQLUINTEGER bitmask, see "Code Example."
A driver must return a value for each information type that is defined in the following tables. If an information type does not apply to the driver or data source, the driver returns one of the values listed in the following table.
Information type | Value |
---|---|
Character string ("Y" or "N") | "N" |
Character string (not "Y" or "N") | Empty string |
SQLUSMALLINT | 0 |
SQLUINTEGER bitmask or SQLUINTEGER binary value | 0L |
For example, if a data source does not support procedures, SQLGetInfo returns the values listed in the following table for the values of InfoType that are related to procedures.
InfoType | Value |
---|---|
SQL_PROCEDURES | "N" |
SQL_ACCESSIBLE_PROCEDURES | "N" |
SQL_MAX_PROCEDURE_NAME_LEN | 0 |
SQL_PROCEDURE_TERM | Empty string |
SQLGetInfo returns SQLSTATE HY096 (Invalid argument value) for values of InfoType that are in the range of information types reserved for use by ODBC but are not defined by the version of ODBC supported by the driver. To determine what version of ODBC a driver complies with, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_DRIVER_ODBC_VER information type. SQLGetInfo returns SQLSTATE HYC00 (Optional feature not implemented) for values of InfoType that are in the range of information types reserved for driver-specific use but are not supported by the driver.
All calls to SQLGetInfo require an open connection, except when the InfoType is SQL_ODBC_VER, which returns the version of the Driver Manager.

Supported SQL
The following values of the InfoType argument return information about the SQL statements supported by the data source. The SQL syntax of each feature described by these information types is the SQL-92 syntax. These information types do not exhaustively describe the entire SQL-92 grammar. Instead, they describe those parts of the grammar for which data sources typically offer different levels of support. Specifically, most of the DDL statements in SQL-92 are covered.
Applications should determine the general level of supported grammar from the SQL_SQL_CONFORMANCE information type and use the other information types to determine variations from the stated standards compliance level.

Information Type Descriptions
The following table alphabetically lists each information type, the version of ODBC in which it was introduced, and its description.
Information Type | ODBC Version | Description |
---|---|---|
SQL_ACCESSIBLE_PROCEDURES | 1.0 | A character string: "Y" if the user can execute all procedures returned by SQLProcedures; "N" if there may be procedures returned that the user cannot execute. |
SQL_ACCESSIBLE_TABLES | 1.0 | A character string: "Y" if the user is guaranteed SELECT privileges to all tables returned by SQLTables; "N" if there may be tables returned that the user cannot access. |
SQL_ACTIVE_ENVIRONMENTS | 3.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that specifies the maximum number of active environments that the driver can support. If there is no specified limit or the limit is unknown, this value is set to zero. |
SQL_AGGREGATE_FUNCTIONS | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating support for aggregation functions: SQL_AF_ALL SQL_AF_AVG SQL_AF_COUNT SQL_AF_DISTINCT SQL_AF_MAX SQL_AF_MIN SQL_AF_SUM An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return all of these options as supported. |
SQL_ALTER_DOMAIN | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the clauses in the ALTER DOMAIN statement, as defined in SQL-92, supported by the data source. An SQL-92 Full level-compliant driver will always return all the bitmasks. A return value of "0" means that the ALTER DOMAIN statement is not supported. The SQL-92 or FIPS conformance level at which this feature must be supported is shown in parentheses next to each bitmask. The following bitmasks are used to determine which clauses are supported: SQL_AD_ADD_DOMAIN_CONSTRAINT = Adding a domain constraint is supported (Full level) SQL_AD_ADD_DOMAIN_DEFAULT = <alter domain> <set domain default clause> is supported (Full level) SQL_AD_CONSTRAINT_NAME_DEFINITION = <constraint name definition clause> is supported for naming domain constraint (Intermediate level) SQL_AD_DROP_DOMAIN_CONSTRAINT = <drop domain constraint clause> is supported (Full level) SQL_AD_DROP_DOMAIN_DEFAULT = <alter domain> <drop domain default clause> is supported (Full level) The following bits specify the supported <constraint attributes> if <add domain constraint> is supported (the SQL_AD_ADD_DOMAIN_CONSTRAINT bit is set): SQL_AD_ADD_CONSTRAINT_DEFERRABLE (Full level) SQL_AD_ADD_CONSTRAINT_NON_DEFERRABLE (Full level) SQL_AD_ADD_CONSTRAINT_INITIALLY_DEFERRED (Full level) SQL_AD_ADD_CONSTRAINT_INITIALLY_IMMEDIATE (Full level) |
SQL_ALTER_TABLE | 2.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the clauses in the ALTER TABLE statement supported by the data source. The SQL-92 or FIPS conformance level at which this feature must be supported is shown in parentheses next to each bitmask. The following bitmasks are used to determine which clauses are supported: SQL_AT_ADD_COLUMN_COLLATION = <add column> clause is supported, with facility to specify column collation (Full level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_ADD_COLUMN_DEFAULT = <add column> clause is supported, with facility to specify column defaults (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_ADD_COLUMN_SINGLE = <add column> is supported (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_ADD_CONSTRAINT = <add column> clause is supported, with facility to specify column constraints (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_ADD_TABLE_CONSTRAINT = <add table constraint> clause is supported (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_CONSTRAINT_NAME_DEFINITION = <constraint name definition> is supported for naming column and table constraints (Intermediate level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_DROP_COLUMN_CASCADE = <drop column> CASCADE is supported (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_DROP_COLUMN_DEFAULT = <alter column> <drop column default clause> is supported (Intermediate level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_DROP_COLUMN_RESTRICT = <drop column> RESTRICT is supported (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_DROP_TABLE_CONSTRAINT_CASCADE (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_DROP_TABLE_CONSTRAINT_RESTRICT = <drop column> RESTRICT is supported (FIPS Transitional level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_SET_COLUMN_DEFAULT = <alter column> <set column default clause> is supported (Intermediate level) (ODBC 3.0) The following bits specify the support <constraint attributes> if specifying column or table constraints is supported (the SQL_AT_ADD_CONSTRAINT bit is set): SQL_AT_CONSTRAINT_INITIALLY_DEFERRED (Full level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_CONSTRAINT_INITIALLY_IMMEDIATE (Full level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_CONSTRAINT_DEFERRABLE (Full level) (ODBC 3.0) SQL_AT_CONSTRAINT_NON_DEFERRABLE (Full level) (ODBC 3.0) |
SQL_ASYNC_DBC_FUNCTIONS | 3.8 | A SQLUINTEGER value that indicates if the driver can execute functions asynchronously on the connection handle. SQL_ASYNC_DBC_CAPABLE = The driver can execute connection functions asynchronously. SQL_ASYNC_DBC_NOT_CAPABLE = The driver cannot execute connection functions asynchronously. |
SQL_ASYNC_MODE | 3.0 | A SQLUINTEGER value that indicates the level of asynchronous support in the driver: SQL_AM_CONNECTION = Connection level asynchronous execution is supported. Either all statement handles associated with a given connection handle are in asynchronous mode or all are in synchronous mode. A statement handle on a connection cannot be in asynchronous mode while another statement handle on the same connection is in synchronous mode, and vice versa. SQL_AM_STATEMENT = Statement level asynchronous execution is supported. Some statement handles associated with a connection handle can be in asynchronous mode, while other statement handles on the same connection are in synchronous mode. SQL_AM_NONE = Asynchronous mode is not supported. |
SQL_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION | 3.8 | A SQLUINTEGER value that indicates if the driver supports asynchronous notification: SQL_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION_CAPABLE = Asynchronous execution notification is supported by the driver. SQL_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION_NOT_CAPABLE = Asynchronous execution notification is not supported by the driver. There are two categories of ODBC asynchronous operations: connection level asynchronous operations and statement level asynchronous operations. If a driver returns SQL_ASYNC_NOTIFICATION_CAPABLE, it must support notification for all APIs that it can execute asynchronously. |
SQL_BATCH_ROW_COUNT | 3.0 | A SQLUINTEGER bitmask that enumerates the behavior of the driver with respect to the availability of row counts. The following bitmasks are used together with the information type: SQL_BRC_ROLLED_UP = Row counts for consecutive INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE statements are rolled up into one. If this bit is not set, row counts are available for each statement. SQL_BRC_PROCEDURES = Row counts, if any, are available when a batch is executed in a stored procedure. If row counts are available, they can be rolled up or individually available, depending on the SQL_BRC_ROLLED_UP bit. SQL_BRC_EXPLICIT = Row counts, if any, are available when a batch is executed directly by calling SQLExecute or SQLExecDirect. If row counts are available, they can be rolled up or individually available, depending on the SQL_BRC_ROLLED_UP bit. |
SQL_BATCH_SUPPORT | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the driver's support for batches. The following bitmasks are used to determine which level is supported: SQL_BS_SELECT_EXPLICIT = The driver supports explicit batches that can have result-set generating statements. SQL_BS_ROW_COUNT_EXPLICIT = The driver supports explicit batches that can have row-count generating statements. SQL_BS_SELECT_PROC = The driver supports explicit procedures that can have result-set generating statements. SQL_BS_ROW_COUNT_PROC = The driver supports explicit procedures that can have row-count generating statements. |
SQL_BOOKMARK_PERSISTENCE | 2.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the operations through which bookmarks persist. The following bitmasks are used together with the flag to determine through which options bookmarks persist: SQL_BP_CLOSE = Bookmarks are valid after an application calls SQLFreeStmt with the SQL_CLOSE option, or SQLCloseCursor to close the cursor associated with a statement. SQL_BP_DELETE = The bookmark for a row is valid after that row has been deleted. SQL_BP_DROP = Bookmarks are valid after an application calls SQLFreeHandle with a HandleType of SQL_HANDLE_STMT to drop a statement. SQL_BP_TRANSACTION = Bookmarks are valid after an application commits or rolls back a transaction. SQL_BP_UPDATE = The bookmark for a row is valid after any column in that row has been updated, including key columns. SQL_BP_OTHER_HSTMT = A bookmark associated with one statement can be used with another statement. Unless SQL_BP_CLOSE or SQL_BP_DROP is specified, the cursor on the first statement must be open. |
SQL_CATALOG_LOCATION | 2.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that indicates the position of the catalog in a qualified table name: SQL_CL_START SQL_CL_END For example, an Xbase driver returns SQL_CL_START because the directory (catalog) name is at the start of the table name, as in \EMPDATA\EMP.DBF. An ORACLE Server driver returns SQL_CL_END because the catalog is at the end of the table name, as in ADMIN.EMP@EMPDATA. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return SQL_CL_START. A value of 0 is returned if catalogs are not supported by the data source. To determine whether catalogs are supported, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_CATALOG_NAME information type. This InfoType has been renamed for ODBC 3.0 from the ODBC 2.0 InfoType SQL_QUALIFIER_LOCATION. |
SQL_CATALOG_NAME | 3.0 | A character string: "Y" if the server supports catalog names, or "N" if it does not. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return "Y". |
SQL_CATALOG_NAME_SEPARATOR | 1.0 | A character string: the character or characters that the data source defines as the separator between a catalog name and the qualified name element that follows or precedes it. An empty string is returned if catalogs are not supported by the data source. To determine whether catalogs are supported, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_CATALOG_NAME information type. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return ".". This InfoType has been renamed for ODBC 3.0 from the ODBC 2.0 InfoType SQL_QUALIFIER_NAME_SEPARATOR. |
SQL_CATALOG_TERM | 1.0 | A character string with the data source vendor's name for a catalog; for example, "database" or "directory". This string can be in upper, lower, or mixed case. An empty string is returned if catalogs are not supported by the data source. To determine whether catalogs are supported, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_CATALOG_NAME information type. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return "catalog". This InfoType has been renamed for ODBC 3.0 from the ODBC 2.0 InfoType SQL_QUALIFIER_TERM. |
SQL_CATALOG_USAGE | 2.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the statements in which catalogs can be used. The following bitmasks are used to determine where catalogs can be used: SQL_CU_DML_STATEMENTS = Catalogs are supported in all Data Manipulation Language statements: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and if supported, SELECT FOR UPDATE and positioned update and delete statements. SQL_CU_PROCEDURE_INVOCATION = Catalogs are supported in the ODBC procedure invocation statement. SQL_CU_TABLE_DEFINITION = Catalogs are supported in all table definition statements: CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE, and DROP VIEW. SQL_CU_INDEX_DEFINITION = Catalogs are supported in all index definition statements: CREATE INDEX and DROP INDEX. SQL_CU_PRIVILEGE_DEFINITION = Catalogs are supported in all privilege definition statements: GRANT and REVOKE. A value of 0 is returned if catalogs are not supported by the data source. To determine whether catalogs are supported, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_CATALOG_NAME information type. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return a bitmask with all of these bits set. This InfoType has been renamed for ODBC 3.0 from the ODBC 2.0 InfoType SQL_QUALIFIER_USAGE. |
SQL_COLLATION_SEQ | 3.0 | The name of the collation sequence. This is a character string that indicates the name of the default collation for the default character set for this server (for example, 'ISO 8859-1' or EBCDIC). If this is unknown, an empty string will be returned. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return a non-empty string. |
SQL_COLUMN_ALIAS | 2.0 | A character string: "Y" if the data source supports column aliases; otherwise, "N". A column alias is an alternative name that can be specified for a column in the select list by using an AS clause. An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return "Y". |
SQL_CONCAT_NULL_BEHAVIOR | 1.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that indicates how the data source handles the concatenation of NULL valued character data type columns with non-NULL valued character data type columns: SQL_CB_NULL = Result is NULL valued. SQL_CB_NON_NULL = Result is concatenation of non-NULL valued column or columns. An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return SQL_CB_NULL. |
SQL_CONVERT_BIGINT SQL_CONVERT_BINARY SQL_CONVERT_BIT SQL_CONVERT_CHAR SQL_CONVERT_GUID SQL_CONVERT_DATE SQL_CONVERT_DECIMAL SQL_CONVERT_DOUBLE SQL_CONVERT_FLOAT SQL_CONVERT_INTEGER SQL_CONVERT_INTERVAL_YEAR_MONTH SQL_CONVERT_INTERVAL_DAY_TIME SQL_CONVERT_LONGVARBINARY SQL_CONVERT_LONGVARCHAR SQL_CONVERT_NUMERIC SQL_CONVERT_REAL SQL_CONVERT_SMALLINT SQL_CONVERT_TIME SQL_CONVERT_TIMESTAMP SQL_CONVERT_TINYINT SQL_CONVERT_VARBINARY SQL_CONVERT_VARCHAR |
1.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask. The bitmask indicates the conversions supported by the data source with the CONVERT scalar function for data of the type named in the InfoType. If the bitmask equals zero, the data source does not support any conversions from data of the named type, including conversion to the same data type. For example, to determine if a data source supports the conversion of SQL_INTEGER data to the SQL_BIGINT data type, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the InfoType of SQL_CONVERT_INTEGER. The application performs an AND operation with the returned bitmask and SQL_CVT_BIGINT. If the resulting value is nonzero, the conversion is supported. The following bitmasks are used to determine which conversions are supported: SQL_CVT_BIGINT (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_BINARY (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_BIT (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_GUID (ODBC 3.5) SQL_CVT_CHAR (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_DATE (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_DECIMAL (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_DOUBLE (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_FLOAT (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_INTEGER (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_INTERVAL_YEAR_MONTH (ODBC 3.0) SQL_CVT_INTERVAL_DAY_TIME (ODBC 3.0) SQL_CVT_LONGVARBINARY (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_LONGVARCHAR (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_NUMERIC (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_REAL (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_SMALLINT (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_TIME (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_TIMESTAMP (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_TINYINT (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_VARBINARY (ODBC 1.0) SQL_CVT_VARCHAR (ODBC 1.0) |

The following bitmasks are used to determine which clauses are supported: SQL_CS_CREATE_SCHEMA SQL_CS_AUTHORIZATION SQL_CS_DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET An SQL-92 Intermediate level-conformant driver will always return the SQL_CS_CREATE_SCHEMA and SQL_CS_AUTHORIZATION options as supported. These must also be supported at the SQL-92 Entry level, but not necessarily as SQL statements. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return all of these options as supported. |
SQL_CREATE_TABLE | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the clauses in the CREATE TABLE statement, as defined in SQL-92, supported by the data source. The SQL-92 or FIPS conformance level at which this feature must be supported is shown in parentheses next to each bitmask.

An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return all of these options as supported. |
SQL_CURSOR_COMMIT_BEHAVIOR | 1.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that indicates how a COMMIT operation affects cursors and prepared statements in the data source (the behavior of the data source when you commit a transaction). The value of this attribute will reflect the current state of the next setting: SQL_COPT_SS_PRESERVE_CURSORS. SQL_CB_DELETE = Close cursors and delete prepared statements. To use the cursor again, the application must reprepare and re-execute the statement. SQL_CB_CLOSE = Close cursors. For prepared statements, the application can call SQLExecute on the statement without calling SQLPrepare again. The default for the SQL ODBC driver is SQL_CB_CLOSE. This means that the SQL ODBC driver will close your cursor(s) when you commit a transaction. SQL_CB_PRESERVE = Preserve cursors in the same position as before the COMMIT operation. The application can continue to fetch data, or it can close the cursor and re-execute the statement without repreparing it. |
SQL_CURSOR_ROLLBACK_BEHAVIOR | 1.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that indicates how a ROLLBACK operation affects cursors and prepared statements in the data source: SQL_CB_DELETE = Close cursors and delete prepared statements. To use the cursor again, the application must reprepare and re-execute the statement. SQL_CB_CLOSE = Close cursors. For prepared statements, the application can call SQLExecute on the statement without calling SQLPrepare again. SQL_CB_PRESERVE = Preserve cursors in the same position as before the ROLLBACK operation. The application can continue to fetch data, or it can close the cursor and re-execute the statement without repreparing it. |
SQL_CURSOR_SENSITIVITY | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER value that indicates the support for cursor sensitivity: SQL_INSENSITIVE = All cursors on the statement handle show the result set without reflecting any changes that were made to it by any other cursor within the same transaction. SQL_UNSPECIFIED = It is unspecified whether cursors on the statement handle make visible the changes that were made to a result set by another cursor within the same transaction. Cursors on the statement handle may make visible none, some, or all such changes. SQL_SENSITIVE = Cursors are sensitive to changes that were made by other cursors within the same transaction. An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return the SQL_UNSPECIFIED option as supported. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return the SQL_INSENSITIVE option as supported. |
SQL_DATA_SOURCE_NAME | 1.0 | A character string with the data source name that was used during connection. If the application called SQLConnect, this is the value of the szDSN argument. If the application called SQLDriverConnect or SQLBrowseConnect, this is the value of the DSN keyword in the connection string passed to the driver. If the connection string did not contain the DSN keyword (such as when it contains the DRIVER keyword), this is an empty string. |
SQL_DATA_SOURCE_READ_ONLY | 1.0 | A character string. "Y" if the data source is set to READ ONLY mode, "N" if it is otherwise. This characteristic pertains only to the data source itself; it is not a characteristic of the driver that enables access to the data source. A driver that is read/write can be used with a data source that is read-only. If a driver is read-only, all of its data sources must be read-only and must return SQL_DATA_SOURCE_READ_ONLY. |
SQL_DATABASE_NAME | 1.0 | A character string with the name of the current database in use, if the data source defines a named object called "database". In ODBC 3.x, the value returned for this InfoType can also be returned by calling SQLGetConnectAttr with an Attribute argument of SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_CATALOG. |
SQL_DATETIME_LITERALS | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the SQL-92 datetime literals supported by the data source. Note that these are the datetime literals listed in the SQL-92 specification and are separate from the datetime literal escape clauses defined by ODBC. For more information about the ODBC datetime literal escape clauses, see Date, Time, and Timestamp Literals. A FIPS Transitional level-conformant driver will always return the "1" value in the bitmask for the bits in the following list. A value of "0" means that SQL-92 datetime literals are not supported. The following bitmasks are used to determine which literals are supported: SQL_DL_SQL92_DATE SQL_DL_SQL92_TIME SQL_DL_SQL92_TIMESTAMP SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_YEAR SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_MONTH SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_DAY SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_HOUR SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_MINUTE SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_SECOND SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_YEAR_TO_MONTH SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_DAY_TO_HOUR SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_DAY_TO_MINUTE SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_DAY_TO_SECOND SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_HOUR_TO_MINUTE SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_HOUR_TO_SECOND SQL_DL_SQL92_INTERVAL_MINUTE_TO_SECOND |
SQL_DBMS_NAME | 1.0 | A character string with the name of the DBMS product accessed by the driver. |
SQL_DBMS_VER | 1.0 | A character string that indicates the version of the DBMS product accessed by the driver. The version is of the form ##.##.####, where the first two digits are the major version, the next two digits are the minor version, and the last four digits are the release version. The driver must render the DBMS product version in this form but can also append the DBMS product-specific version. For example, "04.01.0000 Rdb 4.1". |
SQL_DDL_INDEX | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER value that indicates support for creation and dropping of indexes: SQL_DI_CREATE_INDEX SQL_DI_DROP_INDEX |
SQL_DEFAULT_TXN_ISOLATION | 1.0 | An SQLUINTEGER value that indicates the default transaction isolation level supported by the driver or data source, or zero if the data source does not support transactions. The following terms are used to define transaction isolation levels: Dirty Read Transaction 1 changes a row. Transaction 2 reads the changed row before transaction 1 commits the change. If transaction 1 rolls back the change, transaction 2 will have read a row that is considered to have never existed. Non-repeatable Read Transaction 1 reads a row. Transaction 2 updates or deletes that row and commits this change. If transaction 1 tries to reread the row, it will receive different row values or discover that the row has been deleted. Phantom Transaction 1 reads a set of rows that satisfy some search criteria. Transaction 2 generates one or more rows (through either inserts or updates) that match the search criteria. If transaction 1 re-executes the statement that reads the rows, it receives a different set of rows. If the data source supports transactions, the driver returns one of the following bitmasks: SQL_TXN_READ_UNCOMMITTED = Dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantoms are possible. SQL_TXN_READ_COMMITTED = Dirty reads are not possible. Non-repeatable reads and phantoms are possible. SQL_TXN_REPEATABLE_READ = Dirty reads and non-repeatable reads are not possible. Phantoms are possible. SQL_TXN_SERIALIZABLE = Transactions are serializable. Serializable transactions do not allow dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, or phantoms. |
SQL_DESCRIBE_PARAMETER | 3.0 | A character string: "Y" if parameters can be described; "N", if not. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will usually return "Y" because it will support the DESCRIBE INPUT statement. Because this does not directly specify the underlying SQL support, however, describing parameters might not be supported, even in a SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver. |
SQL_DM_VER | 3.0 | A character string with the version of the Driver Manager. The version is of the form ##.##.####.####, where: The first set of two digits is the major ODBC version, as given by the constant SQL_SPEC_MAJOR. The second set of two digits is the minor ODBC version, as given by the constant SQL_SPEC_MINOR. The third set of four digits is the Driver Manager major build number. The last set of four digits is the Driver Manager minor build number. The Windows 7 Driver Manager version is 03.80. The Windows 8 Driver Manager version is 03.81. |
SQL_DRIVER_AWARE_POOLING_SUPPORTED | 3.8 | A SQLUINTEGER value that indicates if the driver support driver-aware pooling. (For more information, see Driver-Aware Connection Pooling. SQL_DRIVER_AWARE_POOLING_CAPABLE indicates that the driver can support driver-aware pooling mechanism. SQL_DRIVER_AWARE_POOLING_NOT_CAPABLE indicates that the driver cannot support driver-aware pooling mechanism. A driver does not need to implement SQL_DRIVER_AWARE_POOLING_SUPPORTED and the Driver Manager will not honor to the driver's return value. |
SQL_DRIVER_HDBCSQL_DRIVER_HENV | 1.0 | An SQLULEN value, the driver's environment handle or connection handle, determined by the argument InfoType. These information types are implemented by the Driver Manager alone. |
SQL_DRIVER_HDESC | 3.0 | An SQLULEN value, the driver's descriptor handle determined by the Driver Manager's descriptor handle, which must be passed on input in *InfoValuePtr from the application. In this case, InfoValuePtr is both an input and output argument. The input descriptor handle passed in *InfoValuePtr must have been either explicitly or implicitly allocated on the ConnectionHandle. The application should make a copy of the Driver Manager's descriptor handle before it calls SQLGetInfo with this information type, to make sure that the handle is not overwritten on output. This information type is implemented by the Driver Manager alone. |
SQL_DRIVER_HLIB | 2.0 | An SQLULEN value, the hinst from the load library returned to the Driver Manager when it loaded the driver DLL on a Microsoft Windows operating system, or its equivalent on another operating system. The handle is valid only for the connection handle specified in the call to SQLGetInfo. This information type is implemented by the Driver Manager alone. |
SQL_DRIVER_HSTMT | 1.0 | An SQLULEN value, the driver's statement handle determined by the Driver Manager statement handle, which must be passed on input in *InfoValuePtr from the application. In this case, InfoValuePtr is both an input and an output argument. The input statement handle passed in *InfoValuePtr must have been allocated on the argument ConnectionHandle. The application should make a copy of the Driver Manager's statement handle before it calls SQLGetInfo with this information type, to ensure that the handle is not overwritten on output. This information type is implemented by the Driver Manager alone. |
SQL_DRIVER_NAME | 1.0 | A character string with the file name of the driver used to access the data source. |
SQL_DRIVER_ODBC_VER | 2.0 | A character string with the version of ODBC that the driver supports. The version is of the form ##.##, where the first two digits are the major version and the next two digits are the minor version. SQL_SPEC_MAJOR and SQL_SPEC_MINOR define the major and minor version numbers. For the version of ODBC described in this manual, these are 3 and 0, and the driver should return "03.00". The ODBC Driver Manager will not modify the return value of SQLGetInfo(SQL_DRIVER_ODBC_VER) to maintain backward compatibility for existing applications. The driver specifies which value will be returned. However, a driver that supports C data type extensibility must return 3.8 (or higher) when an application calls SQLSetEnvAttr to set SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION to 3.8. For more information, see C Data Types in ODBC. |
SQL_DRIVER_VER | 1.0 | A character string with the version of the driver and optionally, a description of the driver. At a minimum, the version is of the form ##.##.####, where the first two digits are the major version, the next two digits are the minor version, and the last four digits are the release version. |
SQL_DROP_ASSERTION | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the clauses in the DROP ASSERTION statement, as defined in SQL-92, supported by the data source.

The following bitmasks are used to determine which clauses are supported: SQL_DV_DROP_VIEW SQL_DV_CASCADE SQL_DV_RESTRICT An FIPS Transitional level-conformant driver will always return all of these options as supported. |
SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1 | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that describes the attributes of a dynamic cursor that are supported by the driver. This bitmask contains the first subset of attributes; for the second subset, see SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2. The following bitmasks are used to determine which attributes are supported: SQL_CA1_NEXT = A FetchOrientation argument of SQL_FETCH_NEXT is supported in a call to SQLFetchScroll when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_ABSOLUTE = FetchOrientation arguments of SQL_FETCH_FIRST, SQL_FETCH_LAST, and SQL_FETCH_ABSOLUTE are supported in a call to SQLFetchScroll when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. (The rowset that will be fetched is independent of the current cursor position.) SQL_CA1_RELATIVE = FetchOrientation arguments of SQL_FETCH_PRIOR and SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE are supported in a call to SQLFetchScroll when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. (The rowset that will be fetched depends on the current cursor position. Note that this is separated from SQL_FETCH_NEXT because in a forward-only cursor, only SQL_FETCH_NEXT is supported.) SQL_CA1_BOOKMARK = A FetchOrientation argument of SQL_FETCH_BOOKMARK is supported in a call to SQLFetchScroll when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE = A LockType argument of SQL_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_LOCK_NO_CHANGE = A LockType argument of SQL_LOCK_NO_CHANGE is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_LOCK_UNLOCK = A LockType argument of SQL_LOCK_UNLOCK is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_POS_POSITION = An Operation argument of SQL_POSITION is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_POS_UPDATE = An Operation argument of SQL_UPDATE is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_POS_DELETE = An Operation argument of SQL_DELETE is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_POS_REFRESH = An Operation argument of SQL_REFRESH is supported in a call to SQLSetPos when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_POSITIONED_UPDATE = An UPDATE WHERE CURRENT OF SQL statement is supported when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. (An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return this option as supported.) SQL_CA1_POSITIONED_DELETE = A DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF SQL statement is supported when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. (An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return this option as supported.) SQL_CA1_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE = A SELECT FOR UPDATE SQL statement is supported when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. (An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return this option as supported.) SQL_CA1_BULK_ADD = An Operation argument of SQL_ADD is supported in a call to SQLBulkOperations when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_BULK_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK = An Operation argument of SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK is supported in a call to SQLBulkOperations when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_BULK_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK = An Operation argument of SQL_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK is supported in a call to SQLBulkOperations when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA1_BULK_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK = An Operation argument of SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK is supported in a call to SQLBulkOperations when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. An SQL-92 Intermediate level-conformant driver will usually return the SQL_CA1_NEXT, SQL_CA1_ABSOLUTE, and SQL_CA1_RELATIVE options as supported, because it supports scrollable cursors through the embedded SQL FETCH statement. Because this does not directly determine the underlying SQL support, however, scrollable cursors may not be supported, even for an SQL-92 Intermediate level-conformant driver. |
SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2 | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that describes the attributes of a dynamic cursor that are supported by the driver. This bitmask contains the second subset of attributes; for the first subset, see SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1. The following bitmasks are used to determine which attributes are supported: SQL_CA2_READ_ONLY_CONCURRENCY = A read-only dynamic cursor, in which no updates are allowed, is supported. (The SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY statement attribute can be SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY for a dynamic cursor). SQL_CA2_LOCK_CONCURRENCY = A dynamic cursor that uses the lowest level of locking sufficient to make sure that the row can be updated is supported. (The SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY statement attribute can be SQL_CONCUR_LOCK for a dynamic cursor.) These locks must be consistent with the transaction isolation level set by the SQL_ATTR_TXN_ISOLATION connection attribute. SQL_CA2_OPT_ROWVER_CONCURRENCY = A dynamic cursor that uses the optimistic concurrency control comparing row versions is supported. (The SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY statement attribute can be SQL_CONCUR_ROWVER for a dynamic cursor.) SQL_CA2_OPT_VALUES_CONCURRENCY = A dynamic cursor that uses the optimistic concurrency control comparing values is supported. (The SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY statement attribute can be SQL_CONCUR_VALUES for a dynamic cursor.) SQL_CA2_SENSITIVITY_ADDITIONS = Added rows are visible to a dynamic cursor; the cursor can scroll to those rows. (Where these rows are added to the cursor is driver-dependent.) SQL_CA2_SENSITIVITY_DELETIONS = Deleted rows are no longer available to a dynamic cursor, and do not leave a "hole" in the result set; after the dynamic cursor scrolls from a deleted row, it cannot return to that row. SQL_CA2_SENSITIVITY_UPDATES = Updates to rows are visible to a dynamic cursor; if the dynamic cursor scrolls from and returns to an updated row, the data returned by the cursor is the updated data, not the original data. SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_SELECT = The SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS statement attribute affects SELECT statements when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_INSERT = The SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS statement attribute affects INSERT statements when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_DELETE = The SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS statement attribute affects DELETE statements when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_UPDATE = The SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS statement attribute affects UPDATE statements when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_CATALOG = The SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS statement attribute affects CATALOG result sets when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_AFFECTS_ALL = The SQL_ATTR_MAX_ROWS statement attribute affects SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE statements, and CATALOG result sets, when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_CRC_EXACT = The exact row count is available in the SQL_DIAG_CURSOR_ROW_COUNT diagnostic field when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_CRC_APPROXIMATE = An approximate row count is available in the SQL_DIAG_CURSOR_ROW_COUNT diagnostic field when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. SQL_CA2_SIMULATE_NON_UNIQUE = The driver does not guarantee that simulated positioned update or delete statements will affect only one row when the cursor is a dynamic cursor; it is the application's responsibility to guarantee this. (If a statement affects more than one row, SQLExecute or SQLExecDirect returns SQLSTATE 01001 [Cursor operation conflict].) To set this behavior, the application calls SQLSetStmtAttr with the SQL_ATTR_SIMULATE_CURSOR attribute set to SQL_SC_NON_UNIQUE. SQL_CA2_SIMULATE_TRY_UNIQUE = The driver tries to guarantee that simulated positioned update or delete statements will affect only one row when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. The driver always executes such statements, even if they might affect more than one row, such as when there is no unique key. (If a statement affects more than one row, SQLExecute or SQLExecDirect returns SQLSTATE 01001 [Cursor operation conflict].) To set this behavior, the application calls SQLSetStmtAttr with the SQL_ATTR_SIMULATE_CURSOR attribute set to SQL_SC_TRY_UNIQUE. SQL_CA2_SIMULATE_UNIQUE = The driver guarantees that simulated positioned update or delete statements will affect only one row when the cursor is a dynamic cursor. If the driver cannot guarantee this for a given statement, SQLExecDirect or SQLPrepare return SQLSTATE 01001 (Cursor operation conflict). To set this behavior, the application calls SQLSetStmtAttr with the SQL_ATTR_SIMULATE_CURSOR attribute set to SQL_SC_UNIQUE. |
SQL_EXPRESSIONS_IN_ORDERBY | 1.0 | A character string: "Y" if the data source supports expressions in the ORDER BY list; "N" if it does not. |
SQL_FILE_USAGE | 2.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that indicates how a single-tier driver directly treats files in a data source: SQL_FILE_NOT_SUPPORTED = The driver is not a single-tier driver. For example, an ORACLE driver is a two-tier driver. SQL_FILE_TABLE = A single-tier driver treats files in a data source as tables. For example, an Xbase driver treats each Xbase file as a table. SQL_FILE_CATALOG = A single-tier driver treats files in a data source as a catalog. For example, a Microsoft Access driver treats each Microsoft Access file as a complete database. An application might use this to determine how users will select data. For example, Xbase users often think of data as stored in files, whereas ORACLE and Microsoft Access users generally think of data as stored in tables. When a user selects an Xbase data source, the application could display the Windows File Open common dialog box; when the user selects a Microsoft Access or ORACLE data source, the application could display a custom Select Table dialog box. |
SQL_FORWARD_ONLY_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1 | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that describes the attributes of a forward-only cursor that are supported by the driver. This bitmask contains the first subset of attributes; for the second subset, see SQL_FORWARD_ONLY_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2. The following bitmasks are used to determine which attributes are supported: SQL_CA1_NEXT SQL_CA1_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE SQL_CA1_LOCK_NO_CHANGE SQL_CA1_LOCK_UNLOCK SQL_CA1_POS_POSITION SQL_CA1_POS_UPDATE SQL_CA1_POS_DELETE SQL_CA1_POS_REFRESH SQL_CA1_POSITIONED_UPDATE SQL_CA1_POSITIONED_DELETE SQL_CA1_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE SQL_CA1_BULK_ADD SQL_CA1_BULK_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK SQL_CA1_BULK_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK SQL_CA1_BULK_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK For descriptions of these bitmasks, see SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1 (and substitute "forward-only cursor" for "dynamic cursor" in the descriptions). |
SQL_FORWARD_ONLY_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2 | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that describes the attributes of a forward-only cursor that are supported by the driver. This bitmask contains the second subset of attributes; for the first subset, see SQL_FORWARD_ONLY_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1. The following bitmasks are used to determine which attributes are supported: SQL_CA2_READ_ONLY_CONCURRENCY SQL_CA2_LOCK_CONCURRENCY SQL_CA2_OPT_ROWVER_CONCURRENCY SQL_CA2_OPT_VALUES_CONCURRENCY SQL_CA2_SENSITIVITY_ADDITIONS SQL_CA2_SENSITIVITY_DELETIONS SQL_CA2_SENSITIVITY_UPDATES SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_SELECT SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_INSERT SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_DELETE SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_UPDATE SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_CATALOG SQL_CA2_MAX_ROWS_AFFECTS_ALL SQL_CA2_CRC_EXACT SQL_CA2_CRC_APPROXIMATE SQL_CA2_SIMULATE_NON_UNIQUE SQL_CA2_SIMULATE_TRY_UNIQUE SQL_CA2_SIMULATE_UNIQUE For descriptions of these bitmasks, see SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2 (and substitute "forward-only cursor" for "dynamic cursor" in the descriptions). |
SQL_GETDATA_EXTENSIONS | 2.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating extensions to SQLGetData. The following bitmasks are used together with the flag to determine what common extensions the driver supports for SQLGetData: SQL_GD_ANY_COLUMN = SQLGetData can be called for any unbound column, including those before the last bound column. Note that the columns must be called in order of ascending column number unless SQL_GD_ANY_ORDER is also returned. SQL_GD_ANY_ORDER = SQLGetData can be called for unbound columns in any order. Note that SQLGetData can be called only for columns after the last bound column unless SQL_GD_ANY_COLUMN is also returned. SQL_GD_BLOCK = SQLGetData can be called for an unbound column in any row in a block (where the rowset size is greater than 1) of data after positioning to that row with SQLSetPos. SQL_GD_BOUND = SQLGetData can be called for bound columns in addition to unbound columns. A driver cannot return this value unless it also returns SQL_GD_ANY_COLUMN. SQL_GD_OUTPUT_PARAMS = SQLGetData can be called to return output parameter values. For more information, see Retrieving Output Parameters Using SQLGetData. SQLGetData is required to return data only from unbound columns that occur after the last bound column, are called in order of increasing column number, and are not in a row in a block of rows. If a driver supports bookmarks (either fixed-length or variable-length), it must support calling SQLGetData on column 0. This support is required regardless of what the driver returns for a call to SQLGetInfo with the SQL_GETDATA_EXTENSIONS InfoType. |
SQL_GROUP_BY | 2.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value that specifies the relationship between the columns in the GROUP BY clause and the nonaggregated columns in the select list: SQL_GB_COLLATE = A COLLATE clause can be specified at the end of each grouping column. (ODBC 3.0) SQL_GB_NOT_SUPPORTED = GROUP BY clauses are not supported. (ODBC 2.0) SQL_GB_GROUP_BY_EQUALS_SELECT = The GROUP BY clause must contain all nonaggregated columns in the select list. It cannot contain any other columns. For example, SELECT DEPT, MAX(SALARY) FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY DEPT. (ODBC 2.0) SQL_GB_GROUP_BY_CONTAINS_SELECT = The GROUP BY clause must contain all nonaggregated columns in the select list. It can contain columns that are not in the select list. For example, SELECT DEPT, MAX(SALARY) FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY DEPT, AGE. (ODBC 2.0) SQL_GB_NO_RELATION = The columns in the GROUP BY clause and the select list are not related. The meaning of nongrouped, nonaggregated columns in the select list is data source-dependent. For example, SELECT DEPT, SALARY FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY DEPT, AGE. (ODBC 2.0) An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return the SQL_GB_GROUP_BY_EQUALS_SELECT option as supported. An SQL-92 Full level-conformant driver will always return the SQL_GB_COLLATE option as supported. If none of the options are supported, the GROUP BY clause is not supported by the data source. |
SQL_IDENTIFIER_CASE | 1.0 | An SQLUSMALLINT value as follows: SQL_IC_UPPER = Identifiers in SQL are not case-sensitive and are stored in uppercase in system catalog. SQL_IC_LOWER = Identifiers in SQL are not case-sensitive and are stored in lowercase in system catalog. SQL_IC_SENSITIVE = Identifiers in SQL are case sensitive and are stored in mixed case in system catalog. SQL_IC_MIXED = Identifiers in SQL are not case-sensitive and are stored in mixed case in system catalog. Because identifiers in SQL-92 are never case-sensitive, a driver that conforms strictly to SQL-92 (any level) will never return the SQL_IC_SENSITIVE option as supported. |
SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR | 1.0 | The character string that is used as the starting and ending delimiter of a quoted (delimited) identifier in SQL statements. (Identifiers passed as arguments to ODBC functions do not have to be quoted.) If the data source does not support quoted identifiers, a blank is returned. This character string can also be used for quoting catalog function arguments when the connection attribute SQL_ATTR_METADATA_ID is set to SQL_TRUE. Because the identifier quote character in SQL-92 is the double quotation mark ("), a driver that conforms strictly to SQL-92 will always return the double quotation mark character. |
SQL_INDEX_KEYWORDS | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that enumerates keywords in the CREATE INDEX statement that are supported by the driver: SQL_IK_NONE = None of the keywords is supported. SQL_IK_ASC = ASC keyword is supported. SQL_IK_DESC = DESC keyword is supported. SQL_IK_ALL = All keywords are supported. To see whether the CREATE INDEX statement is supported, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_DLL_INDEX information type. |
SQL_INFO_SCHEMA_VIEWS | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask enumerating the views in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA that are supported by the driver. The views in, and the contents of, INFORMATION_SCHEMA are as defined in SQL-92. The SQL-92 or FIPS conformance level at which this feature must be supported is shown in parentheses next to each bitmask. The following bitmasks are used to determine which views are supported: SQL_ISV_ASSERTIONS = Identifies the catalog's assertions that are owned by a given user. (Full level) SQL_ISV_CHARACTER_SETS = Identifies the catalog's character sets that can be accessed by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_CHECK_CONSTRAINTS = Identifies the CHECK constraints that are owned by a given user.

(FIPS Transitional level) SQL_ISV_COLUMNS = Identifies the columns of persistent tables that can be accessed by a given user. (FIPS Transitional level) SQL_ISV_CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE = Similar to CONSTRAINT_TABLE_USAGE view, columns are identified for the various constraints that are owned by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_CONSTRAINT_TABLE_USAGE = Identifies the tables that are used by constraints (referential, unique, and assertions), and are owned by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_DOMAIN_CONSTRAINTS = Identifies the domain constraints (of the domains in the catalog) that can be accessed by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_DOMAINS = Identifies the domains defined in a catalog that can be accessed by the user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_KEY_COLUMN_USAGE = Identifies columns defined in the catalog that are constrained as keys by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS = Identifies the referential constraints that are owned by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_SCHEMATA = Identifies the schemas that are owned by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_SQL_LANGUAGES = Identifies the SQL conformance levels, options, and dialects supported by the SQL implementation. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_TABLE_CONSTRAINTS = Identifies the table constraints that are owned by a given user. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_TABLE_PRIVILEGES = Identifies the privileges on persistent tables that are available to or granted by a given user. (FIPS Transitional level) SQL_ISV_TABLES = Identifies the persistent tables defined in a catalog that can be accessed by a given user. (FIPS Transitional level) SQL_ISV_TRANSLATIONS = Identifies character translations for the catalog that can be accessed by a given user. (Full level) SQL_ISV_USAGE_PRIVILEGES = Identifies the USAGE privileges on catalog objects that are available to or owned by a given user. (FIPS Transitional level) SQL_ISV_VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE = Identifies the columns on which the catalog's views that are owned by a given user are dependent. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_VIEW_TABLE_USAGE = Identifies the tables on which the catalog's views that are owned by a given user are dependent. (Intermediate level) SQL_ISV_VIEWS = Identifies the viewed tables defined in this catalog that can be accessed by a given user. (FIPS Transitional level) |
SQL_INSERT_STATEMENT | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that indicates support for INSERT statements: SQL_IS_INSERT_LITERALS SQL_IS_INSERT_SEARCHED SQL_IS_SELECT_INTO An SQL-92 Entry level-conformant driver will always return all of these options as supported. |

SQL_KEYSET_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1 | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that describes the attributes of a keyset cursor that are supported by the driver. This bitmask contains the first subset of attributes; for the second subset, see SQL_KEYSET_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2. The following bitmasks are used to determine which attributes are supported: SQL_CA1_NEXT SQL_CA1_ABSOLUTE SQL_CA1_RELATIVE SQL_CA1_BOOKMARK SQL_CA1_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE SQL_CA1_LOCK_NO_CHANGE SQL_CA1_LOCK_UNLOCK SQL_CA1_POS_POSITION SQL_CA1_POS_UPDATE SQL_CA1_POS_DELETE SQL_CA1_POS_REFRESH SQL_CA1_POSITIONED_UPDATE SQL_CA1_POSITIONED_DELETE SQL_CA1_SELECT_FOR_UPDATE SQL_CA1_BULK_ADD SQL_CA1_BULK_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK SQL_CA1_BULK_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK SQL_CA1_BULK_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK For descriptions of these bitmasks, see SQL_DYNAMIC_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1 (and substitute "keyset-driven cursor" for "dynamic cursor" in the descriptions). An SQL-92 Intermediate level-conformant driver will usually return the SQL_CA1_NEXT, SQL_CA1_ABSOLUTE, and SQL_CA1_RELATIVE options as supported, because the driver supports scrollable cursors through the embedded SQL FETCH statement. Because this does not directly determine the underlying SQL support, however, scrollable cursors may not be supported, even for an SQL-92 Intermediate level-conformant driver. |
SQL_KEYSET_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES2 | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER bitmask that describes the attributes of a keyset cursor that are supported by the driver. This bitmask contains the second subset of attributes; for the first subset, see SQL_KEYSET_CURSOR_ATTRIBUTES1.

SQL_KEYWORDS | 2.0 | A character string that contains a comma-separated list of all data source-specific keywords. This list does not contain keywords specific to ODBC or keywords used by both the data source and ODBC. This list represents all the reserved keywords; interoperable applications should not use these words in object names. For a list of ODBC keywords, see Reserved Keywords in Appendix C: SQL Grammar. The #define value SQL_ODBC_KEYWORDS contains a comma-separated list of ODBC keywords. |
SQL_LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE | 2.0 | A character string: "Y" if the data source supports an escape character for the percent character (%) and underscore character (_) in a LIKE predicate and the driver supports the ODBC syntax for defining a LIKE predicate escape character; "N" otherwise. |

This does not apply to full outer joins, which do not have an inner table. SQL_OJ_ALL_COMPARISON_OPS = The comparison operator in the ON clause can be any of the ODBC comparison operators. If this bit is not set, only the equals (=) comparison operator can be used in outer joins. If none of these options is returned as supported, no outer join clause is supported. For information about the support of relational join operators in a SELECT statement, as defined by SQL-92, see SQL_SQL92_RELATIONAL_JOIN_OPERATORS. |

SQL_PARAM_ARRAY_ROW_COUNTS | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER enumerating the driver's properties regarding the availability of row counts in a parameterized execution. Has the following values: SQL_PARC_BATCH = Individual row counts are available for each set of parameters. This is conceptually equivalent to the driver generating a batch of SQL statements, one for each parameter set in the array. Extended error information can be retrieved by using the SQL_PARAM_STATUS_PTR descriptor field. SQL_PARC_NO_BATCH = There is only one row count available, which is the cumulative row count resulting from the execution of the statement for the entire array of parameters. This is conceptually equivalent to treating the statement together with the complete parameter array as one atomic unit. Errors are handled the same as if one statement were executed. |
SQL_PARAM_ARRAY_SELECTS | 3.0 | An SQLUINTEGER enumerating the driver's properties regarding the availability of result sets in a parameterized execution. Has the following values: SQL_PAS_BATCH = There is one result set available per set of parameters. This is conceptually equivalent to the driver generating a batch of SQL statements, one for each parameter set in the array. SQL_PAS_NO_BATCH = There is only one result set available, which represents the cumulative result set resulting from the execution of the statement for the complete array of parameters. This is conceptually equivalent to treating the statement together with the complete parameter array as one atomic unit.

SQL_SEARCH_PATTERN_ESCAPE | 1.0 | A character string specifying what the driver supports as an escape character that allows the use of the pattern match metacharacters underscore (_) and percent sign (%) as valid characters in search patterns. This escape character applies only for those catalog function arguments that support search strings. If this string is empty, the driver does not support a search-pattern escape character. Because this information type does not indicate general support of the escape character in the LIKE predicate, SQL-92 does not include requirements for this character string. This InfoType is limited to catalog functions. For a description of the use of the escape character in search pattern strings, see Pattern Value Arguments. |
SQL_SERVER_NAME | 1.0 | A character string with the actual data source-specific server name; useful when a data source name is used during SQLConnect, SQLDriverConnect, and SQLBrowseConnect. |
