Cursor Library Cache

Important

This feature will be removed in a future version of Windows. Avoid using this feature in new development work and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Microsoft recommends using the driver's cursor functionality.

For each row of data in the result set, the cursor library caches the data for each bound column, the length of the data in each bound column, and the status of the row. The cursor library uses the values in the cache both to return through SQLFetch and SQLFetchScroll and to construct searched statements for positioned operations. For more information, see Constructing Searched Statements.
