FIX: IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo() Returns S_OK with ICommandPrepare::Prepare on Nonexistent Tables
This article was previously published under Q314972
If your
SELECT statement refers to a table name that does not exist or is not valid, OLE DB Provider for Jet 4.0 returns S_OK for the
ICommandPrepare::Prepare method and the
IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo method.
Although the Microsoft Jet engine returns an error message to the provider, the provider does not propagate the error message to the consumer.
The provider has been fixed so that
IColumnsInfo::GetColumnInfo returns E_FAIL on nonexistent tables. To resolve this problem, install the latest Microsoft Jet service pack.

ACC2000: Updated Version of Microsoft Jet 4.0 Available in Download Center
Use the following code to reproduce this problem:
Note You must change the code to point to your existing .mdb file.
#include <atldbcli.h>
#include <assert.h>
void
main()
{
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize( NULL );
assert( SUCCEEDED(hr) );
CDataSource ds;
//Jet 4.0
hr = ds.OpenFromInitializationString(
OLESTR("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;")
//You must change the following path to point to your database.
OLESTR("Data Source=C:\\CPR\\CASES\\4323\\db1.mdb")
);
assert( SUCCEEDED(hr) );
CSession sess;
hr = sess.Open( ds );
assert( SUCCEEDED(hr) );
CCommand<CDynamicAccessor> cmd;
hr = cmd.Create( sess, _T("SELECT * FROM nosuchtable") );
assert( SUCCEEDED(hr) );
hr = cmd.Prepare(); //This returns S_OK
CComPtr<IColumnsInfo> spColumnsInfo;
hr = cmd.m_spCommand->QueryInterface( &spColumnsInfo );
assert( SUCCEEDED(hr) );
ULONG cColumns;
DBCOLUMNINFO * rgInfo;
OLECHAR * pStringsBuffer;
//This returns S_OK even though cColumns is 0.
hr = spColumnsInfo->GetColumnInfo( &cColumns, &rgInfo, &pStringsBuffer );
if (hr != E_FAIL)
printf("\nReturned Success but should return E_FAIL\n");
else
printf("\nReturned E_FAIL. This is the correct behavior\n");
}
This code returns "Returned Success but should return E_FAIL" when you run the code. After you apply the latest Jet 4.0 service pack, this code returns "Returned E_FAIL. This is the correct behavior".
