SYMPTOMS

When your Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) application performs an update or an insert statement on a Microsoft SQL Server database, the contents of the ntext parameter may be corrupted when the following conditions are true:
  • The code page setting on the client is different from the code page setting on the server that is running the SQL Server database. For example, the client code page is Chinese and the server code page is US English.

    Note This problem occurs in multi-byte code page languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
  • The ntext parameter is a data-at-execution parameter.
  • The length of the ntext parameter is set by using the SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC macro.
Note When a parameter is bound with a *StrLen_or_IndPtr pointer that is set to SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC in the SQLBindParameter() function and the value length is less than 400 KB, the problem does not occur.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
