Specifies the default C type of DATE columns and parameter
markers.
- db2cli.ini keyword syntax:
- MapDateCDefault = 0 | 1 | 2
- Default setting:
- The default C type representation for DATE data is SQL_C_TYPE_DATE.
- Usage notes:
-
MapDateCDefault controls the C type that is used when
SQL_C_DEFAULT is specified for DATE columns and parameter markers.
This keyword should be used primarily with Microsoft applications, such as Microsoft Access, which assume
SQL_C_CHAR as the default C type for datetime values. Set MapDateCDefault
as follows:
- 0 - for the default SQL_C_TYPE_DATE C type representation: a struct
containing numeric members for year, month and day
- 1 - for an SQL_C_CHAR C type representation: "2004-01-01"
- 2 - for an SQL_C_WCHAR C type representation: "2004-01-01" in
UTF-16.
This keyword affects the behavior of CLI functions where SQL_C_DEFAULT
may be specified as a C type, such as
SQLBindParameter(),
SQLBindCol(),
and
SQLGetData().
