FIX: Cursor Library Memory Leak in Multithreaded Environment (171878)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Open Database Connectivity 2.5
- Microsoft Open Database Connectivity 3.0
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5
This article was previously published under Q171878
BUG #: 1251/4210 (odbcsdk)
SYMPTOMS
When the cursor library is loaded in a multithreaded application, a
memory leak occurs.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Open Database
Connectivity versions 2.5 and 3.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S.
Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 3.0. For
more information, contact your primary support provider.
MORE INFORMATION
This problem is created when multiple threads establish connections
specifying that the ODBC Cursor Library is to be used. For example, if each
thread of a multithread application creates a connection using the
SQLSetConnection(hdbc, SQL_ODBC_CURSORS, SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC) statement and
subsequently executes it repeatedly, you can use the Process Viewer to
observe a memory leak.
