Processing SQL Statements
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.
The ODBC cursor library passes all SQL statements directly to the driver except the following:
Positioned update and delete statements
SELECT FOR UPDATE statements
Batched SQL statements
To execute positioned update and delete statements and to position the cursor on a row to call SQLGetData for that row, the cursor library constructs a searched statement that identifies the row.
