Retrieving ODBC driver and data source information  
Introduction: ODBC connections  

Sample


When retrieving ODBC driver and data source information, you must allocate the environment handle, then identify the stream and counter shelves that will store this information.


  local SQL_Handle_type EnvironmentHandle
  local counter RetCode
  local stream String1
  local stream String2
  local counter StringLen1
  local counter StringLen2
  local counter Direction

  set RetCode to SQLAllocEnv(EnvironmentHandle)
  output "Allocating environment handle - "
  do when RetCode != SQL_SUCCESS
     output "failed%n"
    halt with 1
  else
     output "passed%n"
  done

The ODBC functions SQL_FETCH_FIRST and SQL_FETCH_NEXT are used by SQLDrivers to fetch the "first" (the search starts from the beginning of the list) or "next" driver description in the list.


  set Direction to SQL_FETCH_FIRST
  output "Retrieving driver information - "
  repeat
     set RetCode to SQLDrivers
        (  EnvironmentHandle,
           Direction,
           String1,
           1024,
           StringLen1,
           String2,
           1024,
           StringLen2
        )
     do when RetCode != SQL_SUCCESS
        output "failed%n" when Direction=SQL_FETCH_FIRST
        exit
     else
        do when Direction=SQL_FETCH_FIRST
           output "passed%n"
           set Direction to SQL_FETCH_NEXT
        done
        output "- %g(String1)(%d(StringLen1)) => (%d(StringLen2))%n"
     done
  again

The ODBC functions SQL_FETCH_FIRST and SQL_FETCH_NEXT are used by SQLDataSources to return information about the data source.


  set Direction to SQL_FETCH_FIRST
  output "Retrieving data source information - "
  repeat
     set RetCode to SQLDataSources
        (  EnvironmentHandle,
           Direction,
           String1,
           1024,
           StringLen1,
           String2,
           1024,
           StringLen2
        )
     do when RetCode != SQL_SUCCESS
        output "failed%n" when Direction=SQL_FETCH_FIRST
        exit
     else
        do when Direction=SQL_FETCH_FIRST
           output "passed%n"
           set Direction to SQL_FETCH_NEXT
        done
        output "- %g(String1)(%d(StringLen1)) => (%d(StringLen2))%n"
     done
  again

When you've finished retrieving driver and data source information, remember to free environment handle resources.


  set RetCode to SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, EnvironmentHandle)
  output "Freeing environment handle resources - "
  do when RetCode != SQL_SUCCESS
     output "failed%n"
     halt with 1
  else
     output "passed%n"
  done
