Using the OUTPUT Clause with OLE DB in SQL Server Native Client

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

If you use an OUTPUT clause in an INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE command, the count of affected rows is not available. The application must count the number of rows in the rowset that is returned by the OUTPUT clause.
