Diagnostics

When SQLBulkOperations returns SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, an associated SQLSTATE value can be obtained by calling SQLGetDiagRec with a HandleType of SQL_HANDLE_STMT and a Handle of StatementHandle. The following table lists the SQLSTATE values typically returned by SQLBulkOperations and explains each one in the context of this function; the notation "(DM)" precedes the descriptions of SQLSTATEs returned by the Driver Manager. The return code associated with each SQLSTATE value is SQL_ERROR, unless noted otherwise.

For all those SQLSTATEs that can return SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO or SQL_ERROR (except 01xxx SQLSTATEs), SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO is returned if an error occurs on one or more, but not all, rows of a multirow operation, and SQL_ERROR is returned if an error occurs on a single-row operation.

SQLSTATE Error Description
01000 General warning Driver-specific informational message. (Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.)
01004 String data right truncation The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, and string or binary data returned for a column or columns with a data type of SQL_C_CHAR or SQL_C_BINARY resulted in the truncation of nonblank character or non-NULL binary data.
01S01 Error in row The Operation argument was SQL_ADD, and an error occurred in one or more rows while performing the operation but at least one row was successfully added. (Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.)

(This error is raised only when an application is working with an ODBC 2.x driver.)
01S07 Fractional truncation The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, the data type of the application buffer was not SQL_C_CHAR or SQL_C_BINARY, and the data returned to application buffers for one or more columns was truncated. (For numeric C data types, the fractional part of the number was truncated. For time, timestamp, and interval C data types that contain a time component, the fractional portion of the time was truncated.)

(Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.)
07006 Restricted data type attribute violation The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, and the data value of a column in the result set could not be converted to the data type specified by the TargetType argument in the call to SQLBindCol.

The Operation argument was SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK or SQL_ADD, and the data value in the application buffers could not be converted to the data type of a column in the result set.
07009 Invalid descriptor index The argument Operation was SQL_ADD, and a column was bound with a column number greater than the number of columns in the result set.
21S02 Degree of derived table does not match column list The argument Operation was SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK; and no columns were updatable because all columns were either unbound or read-only, or the value in the bound length/indicator buffer was SQL_COLUMN_IGNORE.
22001 String data right truncation The assignment of a character or binary value to a column in the result set resulted in the truncation of nonblank (for characters) or non-null (for binary) characters or bytes.
22003 Numeric value out of range The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the assignment of a numeric value to a column in the result set caused the whole (as opposed to fractional) part of the number to be truncated.

The argument Operation was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, and returning the numeric value for one or more bound columns would have caused a loss of significant digits.
22007 Invalid datetime format The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the assignment of a date or timestamp value to a column in the result set caused the year, month, or day field to be out of range.

The argument Operation was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, and returning the date or timestamp value for one or more bound columns would have caused the year, month, or day field to be out of range.
22008 Date/time field overflow The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the performance of datetime arithmetic on data being sent to a column in the result set resulted in a datetime field (the year, month, day, hour, minute, or second field) of the result falling outside the permissible range of values for the field or being invalid based on the Gregorian calendar's natural rules for datetimes.

The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, and the performance of datetime arithmetic on data being retrieved from the result set resulted in a datetime field (the year, month, day, hour, minute, or second field) of the result falling outside the permissible range of values for the field or being invalid based on the Gregorian calendar's natural rules for datetimes.
22015 Interval field overflow The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the assignment of an exact numeric or interval C type to an interval SQL data type caused a loss of significant digits.

The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK; when assigning to an interval SQL type, there was no representation of the value of the C type in the interval SQL type.

The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, and assigning from an exact numeric or interval SQL type to an interval C type caused a loss of significant digits in the leading field.

The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK; when assigning to an interval C type, there was no representation of the value of the SQL type in the interval C type.
22018 Invalid character value for cast specification The Operation argument was SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK; the C type was an exact or approximate numeric, a datetime, or an interval data type; the SQL type of the column was a character data type; and the value in the column was not a valid literal of the bound C type.

The argument Operation was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK; the SQL type was an exact or approximate numeric, a datetime, or an interval data type; the C type was SQL_C_CHAR; and the value in the column was not a valid literal of the bound SQL type.
23000 Integrity constraint violation The Operation argument was SQL_ADD, SQL_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK, or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and an integrity constraint was violated.

The Operation argument was SQL_ADD, and a column that was not bound is defined as NOT NULL and has no default.

The Operation argument was SQL_ADD, the length specified in the bound StrLen_or_IndPtr buffer was SQL_COLUMN_IGNORE, and the column did not have a default value.
24000 Invalid cursor state The StatementHandle was in an executed state, but no result set was associated with the StatementHandle.
40001 Serialization failure The transaction was rolled back because of a resource deadlock with another transaction.
40003 Statement completion unknown The associated connection failed during the execution of this function, and the state of the transaction cannot be determined.
42000 Syntax error or access violation The driver was unable to lock the row as needed to perform the operation requested in the Operation argument.
44000 WITH CHECK OPTION violation The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the insert or update was performed on a viewed table (or a table derived from the viewed table) that was created by specifying WITH CHECK OPTION, in such a way that one or more rows affected by the insert or update will no longer be present in the viewed table.
HY000 General error An error occurred for which there was no specific SQLSTATE and for which no implementation-specific SQLSTATE was defined. The error message returned by SQLGetDiagRec in the *MessageText buffer describes the error and its cause.
HY001 Memory allocation error The driver was unable to allocate memory required to support execution or completion of the function.
HY008 Operation canceled Asynchronous processing was enabled for the StatementHandle. The function was called, and before it completed execution, SQLCancel or SQLCancelHandle was called on the StatementHandle. Then the function was called again on the StatementHandle.

The function was called, and before it completed execution, SQLCancel or SQLCancelHandle was called on the StatementHandle from a different thread in a multithread application.
HY010 Function sequence error (DM) An asynchronously executing function was called for the connection handle that is associated with the StatementHandle. This asynchronous function was still executing when the SQLBulkOperations function was called.

(DM) SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, or SQLMoreResults was called for the StatementHandle and returned SQL_PARAM_DATA_AVAILABLE. This function was called before data was retrieved for all streamed parameters.

(DM) The specified StatementHandle was not in an executed state. The function was called without first calling SQLExecDirect, SQLExecute, or a catalog function.

(DM) An asynchronously executing function (not this one) was called for the StatementHandle and was still executing when this function was called.

(DM) SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, or SQLSetPos was called for the StatementHandle and returned SQL_NEED_DATA. This function was called before data was sent for all data-at-execution parameters or columns.

(DM) The driver was an ODBC 2.x driver, and SQLBulkOperations was called for a StatementHandle before SQLFetchScroll or SQLFetch was called.

(DM) SQLBulkOperations was called after SQLExtendedFetch was called on the StatementHandle.
HY011 Attribute cannot be set now (DM) The driver was an ODBC 2.x driver, and the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute was set between calls to SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll and SQLBulkOperations.
HY013 Memory management error The function call could not be processed because the underlying memory objects could not be accessed, possibly because of low memory conditions.
HY090 Invalid string or buffer length The Operation argument was SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK; a data value was not a null pointer; the C data type was SQL_C_BINARY or SQL_C_CHAR; and the column length value was less than 0, but not equal to SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC, SQL_COLUMN_IGNORE, SQL_NTS, or SQL_NULL_DATA, or less than or equal to SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC_OFFSET.

The value in a length/indicator buffer was SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC; the SQL type was either SQL_LONGVARCHAR, SQL_LONGVARBINARY, or a long data source-specific data type; and the SQL_NEED_LONG_DATA_LEN information type in SQLGetInfo was "Y".

The Operation argument was SQL_ADD, the SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARK statement attribute was set to SQL_UB_VARIABLE, and column 0 was bound to a buffer whose length was not equal to the maximum length for the bookmark for this result set. (This length is available in the SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH field of the IRD and can be obtained by calling SQLDescribeCol, SQLColAttribute, or SQLGetDescField.)
HY092 Invalid attribute identifier (DM) The value specified for the Operation argument was invalid.

The Operation argument was SQL_ADD, SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, or SQL_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY statement attribute was set to SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY.

The Operation argument was SQL_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK, SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK, or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, and the bookmark column was not bound or the SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS statement attribute was set to SQL_UB_OFF.
HY117 Connection is suspended due to unknown transaction state. Only disconnect and read-only functions are allowed. (DM) For more information about suspended state, see SQLEndTran Function.
HYC00 Optional feature not implemented The driver or data source does not support the operation requested in the Operation argument.
HYT00 Timeout expired The query timeout period expired before the data source returned the result set. The timeout period is set through SQLSetStmtAttr with an Attribute argument of SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT.
HYT01 Connection timeout expired The connection timeout period expired before the data source responded to the request. The connection timeout period is set through SQLSetConnectAttr, SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT.
IM001 Driver does not support this function (DM) The driver associated with the StatementHandle does not support the function.
IM017 Polling is disabled in asynchronous notification mode Whenever the notification model is used, polling is disabled.
IM018 SQLCompleteAsync has not been called to complete the previous asynchronous operation on this handle. If the previous function call on the handle returns SQL_STILL_EXECUTING and if notification mode is enabled, SQLCompleteAsync must be called on the handle to do post-processing and complete the operation.

Comments

Caution

For information about what statement states SQLBulkOperations can be called in and what it must do for compatibility with ODBC 2.x applications, see the Block Cursors, Scrollable Cursors, and Backward Compatibility section in Appendix G: Driver Guidelines for Backward Compatibility.

An application uses SQLBulkOperations to perform the following operations on the base table or view that corresponds to the current query:

  • Add new rows.

  • Update a set of rows where each row is identified by a bookmark.

  • Delete a set of rows where each row is identified by a bookmark.

  • Fetch a set of rows where each row is identified by a bookmark.

After a call to SQLBulkOperations, the block cursor position is undefined. The application has to call SQLFetchScroll to set the cursor position. An application should call SQLFetchScroll only with a FetchOrientation argument of SQL_FETCH_FIRST, SQL_FETCH_LAST, SQL_FETCH_ABSOLUTE, or SQL_FETCH_BOOKMARK. The cursor position is undefined if the application calls SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll with a FetchOrientation argument of SQL_FETCH_PRIOR, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, or SQL_FETCH_RELATIVE.

A column can be ignored in bulk operations performed by a call to SQLBulkOperations by setting the column length/indicator buffer specified in the call to SQLBindCol, to SQL_COLUMN_IGNORE.

It is not necessary for the application to set the SQL_ATTR_ROW_OPERATION_PTR statement attribute when it calls SQLBulkOperations because rows cannot be ignored when performing bulk operations with this function.

The buffer pointed to by the SQL_ATTR_ROWS_FETCHED_PTR statement attribute contains the number of rows affected by a call to SQLBulkOperations.

When the Operation argument is SQL_ADD or SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK and the select-list of the query specification associated with the cursor contains more than one reference to the same column, it is driver-defined whether an error is generated or the driver ignores the duplicated references and performs the requested operations.

For more information about how to use SQLBulkOperations, see Updating Data with SQLBulkOperations.

Performing Bulk Inserts

To insert data with SQLBulkOperations, an application performs the following sequence of steps:

  1. Executes a query that returns a result set.

  2. Sets the SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE statement attribute to the number of rows that it wants to insert.

  3. Calls SQLBindCol to bind the data that it wants to insert. The data is bound to an array with a size equal to the value of SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE.

    Note

    The size of the array pointed to by the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute should either be equal to SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE or SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR should be a null pointer.

  4. Calls SQLBulkOperations(StatementHandle, SQL_ADD) to perform the insertion.

  5. If the application has set the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute, it can inspect this array to see the result of the operation.

If an application binds column 0 before it calls SQLBulkOperations with an Operation argument of SQL_ADD, the driver will update the bound column 0 buffers with the bookmark values for the newly inserted row. For this to occur, the application must have set the SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS statement attribute to SQL_UB_VARIABLE before executing the statement. (This does not work with an ODBC 2.x driver.)

Long data can be added in parts by SQLBulkOperations, by using calls to SQLParamData and SQLPutData. For more information, see "Providing Long Data for Bulk Inserts and Updates" later in this function reference.

It is not necessary for the application to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll before it calls SQLBulkOperations (except when going against an ODBC 2.x driver; see Backward Compatibility and Standards Compliance).

The behavior is driver-defined if SQLBulkOperations, with an Operation argument of SQL_ADD, is called on a cursor that contains duplicate columns. The driver can return a driver-defined SQLSTATE, add the data to the first column that appears in the result set, or perform other driver-defined behavior.

Performing Bulk Updates by Using Bookmarks

To perform bulk updates by using bookmarks with SQLBulkOperations, an application performs the following steps in sequence:

  1. Sets the SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS statement attribute to SQL_UB_VARIABLE.

  2. Executes a query that returns a result set.

  3. Sets the SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE statement attribute to the number of rows that it wants to update.

  4. Calls SQLBindCol to bind the data that it wants to update. The data is bound to an array with a size equal to the value of SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE. It also calls SQLBindCol to bind column 0 (the bookmark column).

  5. Copies the bookmarks for rows that it is interested in updating into the array bound to column 0.

  6. Updates the data in the bound buffers.

    Note

    The size of the array pointed to by the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute should be equal to SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE or SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR should be a null pointer.

  7. Calls SQLBulkOperations(StatementHandle, SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK).

    Note

    If the application has set the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute, it can inspect this array to see the result of the operation.

  8. Optionally calls SQLBulkOperations(StatementHandle, SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK) to fetch data into the bound application buffers to verify that the update has occurred.

  9. If data has been updated, the driver changes the value in the row status array for the appropriate rows to SQL_ROW_UPDATED.

Bulk updates performed by SQLBulkOperations can include long data by using calls to SQLParamData and SQLPutData. For more information, see "Providing Long Data for Bulk Inserts and Updates" later in this function reference.

If bookmarks persist across cursors, the application does not need to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll before updating by bookmarks. It can use bookmarks that it has stored from a previous cursor. If bookmarks do not persist across cursors, the application has to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll to retrieve the bookmarks.

The behavior is driver-defined if SQLBulkOperations, with an Operation argument of SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, is called on a cursor that contains duplicate columns. The driver can return a driver-defined SQLSTATE, update the first column that appears in the result set, or perform other driver-defined behavior.

Performing Bulk Fetches Using Bookmarks

To perform bulk fetches using bookmarks with SQLBulkOperations, an application performs the following steps in sequence:

  1. Sets the SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS statement attribute to SQL_UB_VARIABLE.

  2. Executes a query that returns a result set.

  3. Sets the SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE statement attribute to the number of rows that it wants to fetch.

  4. Calls SQLBindCol to bind the data that it wants to fetch. The data is bound to an array with a size equal to the value of SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE. It also calls SQLBindCol to bind column 0 (the bookmark column).

  5. Copies the bookmarks for rows that it is interested in fetching into the array bound to column 0. (This assumes that the application has already obtained the bookmarks separately.)

    Note

    The size of the array pointed to by the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute should be equal to SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE or SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR should be a null pointer.

  6. Calls SQLBulkOperations(StatementHandle, SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK).

  7. If the application has set the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute, it can inspect this array to see the result of the operation.

If bookmarks persist across cursors, the application does not need to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll before fetching by bookmarks. It can use bookmarks that it has stored from a previous cursor. If bookmarks do not persist across cursors, the application has to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll one time to retrieve the bookmarks.

Performing Bulk Deletes Using Bookmarks

To perform bulk deletes using bookmarks with SQLBulkOperations, an application performs the following steps in sequence:

  1. Sets the SQL_ATTR_USE_BOOKMARKS statement attribute to SQL_UB_VARIABLE.

  2. Executes a query that returns a result set.

  3. Sets the SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE statement attribute to the number of rows that it wants to delete.

  4. Calls SQLBindCol to bind column 0 (the bookmark column).

  5. Copies the bookmarks for rows that it is interested in deleting into the array bound to column 0.

    Note

    The size of the array pointed to by the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute should be equal to SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE or SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR should be a null pointer.

  6. Calls SQLBulkOperations(StatementHandle, SQL_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK).

  7. If the application has set the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute, it can inspect this array to see the result of the operation.

If bookmarks persist across cursors, the application does not have to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll before deleting by bookmarks. It can use bookmarks that it has stored from a previous cursor. If bookmarks do not persist across cursors, the application has to call SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll one time to retrieve the bookmarks.

Providing Long Data for Bulk Inserts and Updates

Long data can be provided for bulk inserts and updates performed by calls to SQLBulkOperations. To insert or update long data, an application performs the following steps in addition to the steps described in the "Performing Bulk Inserts" and "Performing Bulk Updates Using Bookmarks" sections earlier in this topic.

  1. When it binds the data by using SQLBindCol, the application places an application-defined value, such as the column number, in the *TargetValuePtr buffer for data-at-execution columns. The value can be used later to identify the column.

    The application places the result of the SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC(length) macro in the *StrLen_or_IndPtr buffer. If the SQL data type of the column is SQL_LONGVARBINARY, SQL_LONGVARCHAR, or a long data source-specific data type and the driver returns "Y" for the SQL_NEED_LONG_DATA_LEN information type in SQLGetInfo, length is the number of bytes of data to be sent for the parameter; otherwise, it must be a nonnegative value and is ignored.

  2. When SQLBulkOperations is called, if there are data-at-execution columns, the function returns SQL_NEED_DATA and proceeds to step 3, which follows. (If there are no data-at-execution columns, the process is complete.)

  3. The application calls SQLParamData to retrieve the address of the *TargetValuePtr buffer for the first data-at-execution column to be processed. SQLParamData returns SQL_NEED_DATA. The application retrieves the application-defined value from the *TargetValuePtr buffer.

    Note

    Although data-at-execution parameters resemble data-at-execution columns, the value returned by SQLParamData is different for each.

    Data-at-execution columns are columns in a rowset for which data will be sent with SQLPutData when a row is updated or inserted with SQLBulkOperations. They are bound with SQLBindCol. The value returned by SQLParamData is the address of the row in the *TargetValuePtr buffer that is being processed.

  4. The application calls SQLPutData one or more times to send data for the column. More than one call is needed if all the data value cannot be returned in the *TargetValuePtr buffer specified in SQLPutData; multiple calls to SQLPutData for the same column are allowed only when sending character C data to a column with a character, binary, or data source-specific data type or when sending binary C data to a column with a character, binary, or data source-specific data type.

  5. The application calls SQLParamData again to signal that all data has been sent for the column.

    • If there are more data-at-execution columns, SQLParamData returns SQL_NEED_DATA and the address of the TargetValuePtr buffer for the next data-at-execution column to be processed. The application repeats steps 4 and 5.

    • If there are no more data-at-execution columns, the process is complete. If the statement was executed successfully, SQLParamData returns SQL_SUCCESS or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO; if the execution failed, it returns SQL_ERROR. At this point, SQLParamData can return any SQLSTATE that can be returned by SQLBulkOperations.

If the operation is canceled or an error occurs in SQLParamData or SQLPutData after SQLBulkOperations returns SQL_NEED_DATA and before data is sent for all data-at-execution columns, the application can call only SQLCancel, SQLGetDiagField, SQLGetDiagRec, SQLGetFunctions, SQLParamData, or SQLPutData for the statement or the connection associated with the statement. If it calls any other function for the statement or the connection associated with the statement, the function returns SQL_ERROR and SQLSTATE HY010 (Function sequence error).

If the application calls SQLCancel while the driver still needs data for data-at-execution columns, the driver cancels the operation. The application can then call SQLBulkOperations again; canceling does not affect the cursor state or the current cursor position.

Row Status Array

The row status array contains status values for each row of data in the rowset after a call to SQLBulkOperations. The driver sets the status values in this array after a call to SQLFetch, SQLFetchScroll, SQLSetPos, or SQLBulkOperations. This array is initially populated by a call to SQLBulkOperations if SQLFetch or SQLFetchScroll has not been called before SQLBulkOperations. This array is pointed to by the SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute. The number of elements in the row status arrays must equal the number of rows in the rowset (as defined by the SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE statement attribute). For information about this row status array, see SQLFetch.

Code Example

The following example fetches 10 rows of data at a time from the Customers table. It then prompts the user for an action to take. To reduce network traffic, the example buffer updates, deletes, and inserts locally in the bound arrays, but at offsets past the rowset data. When the user chooses to send updates, deletes, and inserts to the data source, the code sets the binding offset appropriately and calls SQLBulkOperations. For simplicity, the user cannot buffer more than 10 updates, deletes, or inserts.
