An access violation may occur if you pass an INTEGER value to the ValuePtr parameter of the SQLSetConnectAttr function in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
• On a Windows Vista-based computer, or on a Windows Server 2008-based computer, you run an application that uses the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) API.
• The application uses the SQLSetConnectAttr function to set an attribute.
• You pass an SQL_NTS constant as the StringLength parameter to the SQLSetConnectAttr function.

In this scenario, an access violation may occur if you pass an INTEGER value to the ValuePtr parameter of the SQLSetConnectAttr function.

Note This issue does not occur in Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, in Windows XP, or in Windows Server 2003.

Back to the top

CAUSE

This issue occurs because the ODBC API expects that the ValuePtr parameter is a string pointer instead of an INTEGER value. Therefore, the access violation occurs when the application specifies the SQL_NTS constant for an attribute and then assigns an INTEGER value to the ValuePtr parameter.
