SQLCancel - Cancel statement

SQLCancel() is used to end the processing of an SQL statement operation that is running synchronously. To cancel the function, the application calls SQLCancel() with the same statement handle that is used by the target function, but on a different thread. How the function is canceled depends on the operating system.

Syntax

SQLRETURN SQLCancel (SQLHSTMT     hstmt);

Function arguments

Usage
