Re: ODBC + Dynamic cursors

Dear Mr. Inoue,

- Keyset driven cursors did the trick
- Thank you for pointing out to set the attribute at the statement level
- SQLSetPos() functionality basically does what I want to.

Please set the SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE attribute for statement handles not
for connection handles. Also note that psqlodbc driver doesn't support
dynamic cursors. Please use keyset-driven or static cursors instead.

No. What the driver supports is to update/delete/insert/.. a row
(rows) in a rowset using SQLSetPos(.., .., SQL_UPDATE/DELETE/ADD, ..
Positioned update/delete means updat/deleting a row in a rowset by
executing a query such as UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF .... Please
note that the examples in the page you specified are updat/deleting a
row using SQLExecute.
