DB2OLEDB May Return Empty Recordsets Under Load (810330)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000
  • Microsoft Host Integration Server 2000 SP1

SYMPTOMS

When you use OLE DB Provider for DB2 (DB2OLEDB) from an ASP page that uses ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and the client cursor engine, the ASP client code may receive an empty Recordset object when under load. When the client cursor engine is not used, the ASP client code may receive the following error message:

"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."

CAUSE

In multithreaded situations, the DB2OLEDB provider may incorrectly set a column length to zero. This causes a data conversion error to occur. This error, in turn, causes ADO to throw an exception and then return an empty Recordset to the client application.

WORKAROUND

You can work around this problem if you force the application to run as single threaded by enabling ASP script debugging. However, this workaround greatly affects performance.
