SQLSetConnectAttr

Function

SQLSetConnectAttr is used to set connection attributes.

Prototype

    
         SQLRETURN SQLSetConnectAttr(SQLHDBC       ConnectionHandle
                            SQLINTEGER    Attribute,    
                            SQLPOINTER    ValuePtr,     
                            SQLINTEGER    StringLength);

Parameter

**Table 1** SQLSetConnectAttr parameters
Keyword	Parameter Description
ConnectionHandle	Connection handle.
Attribute	Attribute to set.
ValuePtr	Pointer to the Attribute value. ValuePtr depends on the Attribute value, and can be a 32-bit unsigned integer value or a null-terminated string. If the ValuePtr parameter is a driver-specific value, it may be a signed integer.
StringLength	If ValuePtr points to a string or a binary buffer, StringLength is the length of ValuePtr. If ValuePtr* points to an integer, StringLength is ignored.

Return Value

SQL_SUCCESS indicates that the call succeeded.
SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO indicates that some warning information is displayed.
SQL_ERROR indicates major errors, such as memory allocation and connection failures.
SQL_INVALID_HANDLE indicates that invalid handles were called. This value may also be returned by other APIs.

Precautions

If SQLSetConnectAttr returns SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, the application can call SQLGetDiagRec, with HandleType and Handle set to SQL_HANDLE_DBC and ConnectionHandle, respectively, to obtain the SQLSTATE value. The SQLSTATE value provides the detailed function calling information.
