More information

This problem is created when multiple threads establish connections specifying that the ODBC Cursor Library is to be used. For example, if each thread of a multithread application creates a connection using the SQLSetConnection(hdbc, SQL_ODBC_CURSORS, SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC) statement and subsequently executes it repeatedly, you can use the Process Viewer to observe a memory leak.
