memset expects the length to be in bytes.

Does SQLExecute work? Does SQLNumResultCols give 1?

The specification says "for performance reasons, an application should
not call SQLDescribeCol before executing a statement." But it should
work anyway; if not, this would be a bug. What are the settings of
"Parse Statements" and "Server side prepare" of the data source?
