SQL Server Message Results
Applies to: 
SQL Server
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Managed Instance

Analytics Platform System (PDW)
The following Transact-SQL statements don't generate OLE DB Driver for SQL Server rowsets or a count of affected rows when executed:
PRINT
RAISERROR with a severity of 10 or lower
DBCC
SET SHOWPLAN
SET STATISTICS
These statements either return one or more informational messages or cause SQL Server to return informational messages in place of rowset or count results. On successful execution, the OLE DB Driver for SQL Server returns S_OK, and the messages are available to the OLE DB Driver for SQL Server consumer.
The OLE DB Driver for SQL Server returns S_OK and has one or more informational messages available following the execution of many Transact-SQL statements or the consumer execution of an OLE DB Driver for SQL Server member function.
The OLE DB Driver for SQL Server consumer is allowed dynamic specification of query text. The consumer should check error interfaces after every member function execution. It should always perform these checks; whatever the value of the return code; whether or not an interface reference to an IRowset or IMultipleResults is returned; whatever the count of affected rows.
