Server Side Cursor

  • in vb i make an rdo connection i specify to use a server side cursor. this program has been working for ages. However we have just had our SQL 6.5 servers hardware upgraded and sql re-installed. when i run now with a server side on a query a resultset with two rows never hits eof. therfore it just loops around on the last record. i changed the cursor type to client side and it works fine.

    What could have changed on the server to make this happen.

  • You reinstalled v6.5? Was this on the same OS or was it upgraded? I've seen some funny behavior of v6.5 on W2K and have moved all servers back to NT4.

  • It was same OS NT4. i was just thinking maybe their is some sort of switch or configuration that has changed but i have never heard of or seen a problem like this.

  • Haven't seen it. You might try using profiler to capture the traffic and look for something funny happening.

  • Just a silly thought, but when SQL 6.5 was reinstalled, did they remember to reapply all service packs. (I vaguely remember this in an early fix but it has been over 2 years).
