FIX: Preparing a Statement That References a Missing Object Incorrectly Succeeds (280685)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q280685
BUG #: 57785 (SQLBUG_70)
SYMPTOMS
When you use the SQLPrepare function to prepare a statement that references a non-existent object, SQL_SUCCESS is incorrectly returned.
When you first try to prepare the statement, you receive the following 208 error of severity 16 on the server, but SQL_SUCCESS is returned to the client.
Invalid object name '%.*ls'.
When you try to prepare the statement again, no errors are raised to the server or the client. Because this error is not reported to the client, the ODBC driver may report the following error:
[HY010][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Function sequence error (0)
CAUSE
This problem occurs because, when you try to prepare a query that references a non-existent object, it does not return the original 208 error to the client. Additionally, after you prepare a statement that references a missing object, no future attempts to prepare the statement report the missing object.
