Executing prepared statements is succesfull only for the first two statements
The reworked patch descends to the bug #69526 which is fixed by
this as well. The broken logic in the current code was, that
SQLDescribeParam was executed in odbc_execute every time. This piece
is now moved into odbc_prepare and the results are carried on in an
additional structure.
Since the ext/odbc headers are not being currently installed and the
corresponding structs like odbc_result are not used outside ext/odbc,
the binary compatibility persists. Executing SQLDescribeParam only once
in odbc_prepare is also an optimization as the filds usually won't
change that fast and thus requestind the descriptions on every
execution is not required.
The SQL Server Native Client 11.0 and maybe other ODBC drivers report
NVARCHAR(MAX) columns as SQL_WVARCHAR with size 0. This causes too small a
buffer to be emalloc'd, likely causing a segfault in the following. As we don't
know the real size of the column data, we treat such colums as
SQL_WLONGVARCHAR.
The related bug #67437 suggests that some drivers report a size of ~4GB. It is
not certain that this is really the case (there might be some integer overflow
involved, and anyway, there has been no feedback), so we do not cater for this
now. However, it would not be hard to treat all sizes above a certain threshold
in a similar way, i.e. as SQL_WLONGVARCHAR.
This is just a hotfix as there are still drivers with no full
ODBC 3.x support. This patch origins from bug #68350 which was
solved by the proper 3.0 migration, another driver (Sage)
turned out to have the real issue.
This is done in two steps:
- the ODBCVER has to be rased to 0x0300 which corresponds to Sql
Server 9, otherwise the client will not recognize several SQL
datatypes
- additionally the config scripts was tweaked so then ODBCVER
can be overridden, that still allows enabling compatibility
with lower versions
Bug #67437 might be fixed by this as well.
Temporary variable indicating column field type ID should be
reset to default for loop iteration (i.e. every column in the
record set. The old buggy code made it persist across all columns
leading to invalid reads from the buffer, if for example a DATE
column was preceded by a VARCHAR column.
For unixODBC, use ODBC version as defined by it (as of v2.2.14 it is 3.5).
This allows us to use newer features like SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH (which
returns the number of bytes required to store the data). This fixes the issue
in #60616. If the newer version is not available, over-allocate to accomodate
4-byte Unicode characters for CHAR and VARCHAR datatypes (and their Wide
counterparts).
version.
Fixed a couple of failing tests.
The ODBC extension did not support WVARCHAR. WVARCHAR ends up being handled by
the default handler where vallen is set by the driver to the actual bytes
needed for the field. If it is larger than default-lrl then the output is
corrupted (reading past the buffer) because the return functions don't expect
that to happen. The patch add support to handle WVARCHAR just like a regular
VARCHAR.
