SQLCloseCursor Function

SQLCloseCursor Function

SQLCloseCursor Function

Conformance: Version Introduced: ODBC 3.0 Standards Compliance: ISO 92

Summary: SQLCloseCursor closes a cursor that has been opened on a statement and discards pending results.

SQLRETURN SQLCloseCursor(
     SQLHSTMT     StatementHandle);

Arguments

StatementHandle: [Input] Statement handle.

Returns

SQL_SUCCESS, SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, SQL_ERROR, or SQL_INVALID_HANDLE.

Diagnostics

When SQLCloseCursor returns SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, an associated SQLSTATE value may be obtained by calling SQLGetDiagRec with a HandleType of SQL_HANDLE_STMT and a Handle of StatementHandle. The following table lists the SQLSTATE values commonly returned by SQLCloseCursor 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.

SQLSTATE	Error	Description
01000	General warning	Driver-specific informational message. (Function returns SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.)
24000	Invalid cursor state	No cursor was open on the StatementHandle. (This is returned only by an ODBC 3.x driver.)
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.
HY010	Function sequence error	(DM) An asynchronously executing function was called for the StatementHandle and was still executing when this function was called. (DM) SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, SQLBulkOperations, 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.
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.
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.

Comments

SQLCloseCursor returns SQLSTATE 24000 (Invalid cursor state) if no cursor is open. Calling SQLCloseCursor is equivalent to calling SQLFreeStmt with the SQL_CLOSE option, with the exception that SQLFreeStmt with SQL_CLOSE has no effect on the application if no cursor is open on the statement, while SQLCloseCursor returns SQLSTATE 24000 (Invalid cursor state).

Note
If an ODBC 3.x application working with an ODBC 2.x driver calls SQLCloseCursor when no cursor is open, SQLSTATE 24000 (Invalid cursor state) is not returned, because the Driver Manager maps SQLCloseCursor to SQLFreeStmt with SQL_CLOSE.
