FIX: When you use an ActiveX Data Objects Recordset object to access a database in SQL Server 2005, the Recordset object returns no records

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You use a Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Recordset object to access a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
  • The query of the Recordset object is connected to a pair of tables by using a left outer join.
  • You set the CursorType property for the Recordset object to adOpenKeyset.
In this scenario, the Recordset object returns no records.

Note This problem does not occur when you try to access a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

  • Change the CursorType property for the Recordset object to one of the following settings:
    • adOpenDynamic
    • adOpenForwardOnly
    • adOpenStatic
  • Change the CursorLocation property for the Recordset object to adUseClient.
  • When the query of the Recordset object is connected to a pair of tables by using a left outer join, add a primary key to each of these tables in SQL Server 2005.

STATUS
