BUG: ODBC: SQLGetProp Causes IC Error in Debug Window

An internal consistency (IC) error occurs when you attempt to view the properties of a connection using SQLGetProp in the DEBUG window.

You are using an invalid connection handle in the SQLGetProp() function in the DEBUG window.

Print the return value of SQLGetProp() to the desktop or currently active window using ? or \ printing as in this example: In this example, <handle> is a valid handle to the connection.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Create an ODBC data source based on the Oracle 7.0 driver.
2. Create a database with a remote view based on the data source created in step 1.
3. Open the remote view.
4. Open the Debug window, and type the following line in the left pane:

         SQLGetProp(3, "BATCHMODE")
   						

   In this example, 3 is an invalid connection handle.
