SQLGetData() Returns SQL_NO_TOTAL in RFX_LongBinary() (132399)

SUMMARY

An assertion may occur in RFX_LongBinary() if an ODBC driver returns a value of SQL_NO_TOTAL (-4) in the location pointed to by plLength after calling SQLGetData(). The MFC RFX_LongBinary() function assumes that an ODBC driver won't return SQL_NO_TOTAL from SQLGetData(). This is by design. If you must use RFX_LongBinary() to map a binary field to a CLongBinary variable, use the RFX_LongBinary() function in BLOBRFX.EXE. BLOBRFX.EXE, a self-extracting file, contains two files: BLOBRFX.CPP and BLOBRFX.H. BLOBRFX.CPP contains an RFX_LongBinary2() function, which can be used in place of RFX_LongBinary() in your CRecordset's DoFieldExchange() function. BLOBRFX.H contains the prototype for the RFX_LongBinary2() function.

This behavior is by design. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 4.2 and above.
