SQLGetDescField

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

The SQL Server Native Client ODBC driver exposes driver-specific descriptor fields for the implementation row descriptor (IRD) only. Within the IRD, SQL Server descriptor fields are referenced through driver-specific column attributes. For information about a complete list of available driver-specific descriptor fields, see SQLColAttribute.

Descriptor fields that contain column identifier strings are often zero-length strings. All SQL Server-specific descriptor field values are read-only.

Like attributes retrieved with SQLColAttribute, descriptor fields that report row-level attributes (such as SQL_CA_SS_COMPUTE_ID) are reported for all columns in the result set.

SQLGetDescField and Table-Valued Parameters

SQLGetDescField can be used to get values for extended attributes of table-valued parameters and table-valued parameter columns. For more information about table-valued parameters, see Table-Valued Parameters (ODBC).

SQLGetDescField Support for Enhanced Date and Time Features

For information about the descriptor fields available with the new date/time types, see Parameter and Result Metadata.

For more information, see Date and Time Improvements (ODBC).

Beginning in SQL Server 2012 (11.x), SQLGetDescField can return SQL_C_SS_TIME2 (for time types) or SQL_C_SS_TIMESTAMPOFFSET (for datetimeoffset) instead of SQL_C_BINARY, if your application uses ODBC 3.8.

SQLGetDescField Support for Large CLR UDTs

SQLGetDescField supports large CLR user-defined types (UDTs). For more information, see Large CLR User-Defined Types (ODBC).

SQLGetDescField Support for Sparse Columns

SQLGetDescField can be used to query the new IRD field SQL_CA_SS_IS_COLUMN_SET to determine if a column is a column_set column.

For more information, see Sparse Columns Support (ODBC).
