Thread: Server Side Cursors.
Hi, I just ran across an interesting problem with my Visual Basic 6.0sp5 Program. I am using version 7.1.0.8 of the ODBC driver.I have a DBGrid, it is actually The "True DBGrid" from Component One, on a Form. It is connected to a table, usinga bound dataenvironment, which contains 5110 records. As long as I use server side cursors, the grid will only display8 records. When I change to Client Side Cursors it displays all 5110 records.. I have tried changing lock types, etc..and have not got server side to work at all. The ODBC Driver logs show that it is opening the correct table with all5110 records.. I have not turned on Server Side logging, but I can if that will help figure this out. Is this in anyway related to my previous post from 10/09/2001. "[ODBC] ODBC ServerSide Cursors Error"? Was that fix includedin the new 7.1.0.8 driver? Thanks in advance, if you need more information just let me know. Ryan C. Bonham
As far as I knok server side cursor are not supported. If you have to fetch a high number of row from the database use client side cursor and enable "declare/fetch" on the driver options for decent performance (althought you won't be anymore able to use bidirectional cursors...) Hope this helps Best regards Andrea Aime "Ryan C. Bonham" wrote: > > Hi, > > I just ran across an interesting problem with my Visual Basic 6.0sp5 Program.

Hiroshi,
Here is some more information..
> What cursor type are you using ?
Working setup is:
Client Side Cursors Location, Static cursor type, and Optimistic Locking.
The Following setups return only 8 records out of 5110:
Server Side Cursors Location, Static cursor type, and Optimistic Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, Keyset cursor type, and Optimistic Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, Static cursor type, and Pessimistic Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, Keyset cursor type, and Pessimistic Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, Static cursor type, and ReadOnly Locking.
The following return 0 records:
Server Side Cursors Location, Dynamic cursor type, and Optimistic Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, forward-only cursor type, and ReadOnly Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, Dynamic cursor type, and Pessimistic Locking.
Server Side Cursors Location, Dynamic cursor type, and ReadOnly Locking.
The Select command the dataenvironment is using is;
select * from bloods where date is not null order by date desc
Here is the table structure:
CREATE TABLE "bloods" (
"date" date,
"animal" varchar(10),
"p" text,
"s" char(15),
"glu" float8,
"bun" text,
"crea" float8,
"tp" float8,
"alb" float8,
"tbil" float8,
"alp" float8,
"alt" float8,
"ast" float8,
"chol" text,
"ca" float8,
"phos" float8,
"na" float8,
"k" float8,
"cl" float8,
"agratio" text,
"buncreatinineratio" float8,
"globulin" text,
"magnesium" text,
"hgb" float8,
"htc" float8,
"wbc" float8,
"rbc" float8,
"mcv" float8,
"mch" float8,
"mchc" float8,
"plt" float8,
"plymph" text,
"plymphpercent" text,
"band" text,
"bandpercent" text,
"lymph" text,
"lymphpercent" text,
"mono" text,
"monopercent" text,
"eos" text,
"eospercent" text,
"baso" text,
"basopercent" text
);
CREATE INDEX "date_bloods_key" ON "bloods" ("date");
CREATE INDEX "animal_bloods_key" ON "bloods" ("animal");
Thanks again.

Anyway the current psqlodbc driver itself supports only ForwardOnly/Static cursors with ReadOnly locking. Oh, they don't return proper results either. Hmm strange.. regards, Hiroshi Inoue
