I guess Instantiations is aware of this, but I thought I'd share what I just read on IBM's online documentation for the rather old (and soon to be unsupported) DB2 9.1:
QLAllocEnv function (CLI) - Allocate environment handle
Deprecated
Note:
In ODBC 3.0, SQLAllocEnv() has been deprecated
and replaced with SQLAllocHandle().
Although this version of DB2 CLI continues
to support SQLAllocEnv(), we recommend that you use SQLAllocHandle() in
your DB2 CLI programs so that they conform to the latest standards.
Migrating to the new function
The statement:
SQLAllocEnv(&henv);
for example,
would be rewritten using the new function as:
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &henv);
In another thread on this forum I just posted about a problem with this API call.
My problem surely is not related to this deprecation, because I can use the same code on another machine, but I wanted to mention the deprecation here.
Since I am using DB2 9.7, it seems the function is still supported, but maybe soon it isn't. This seems to affect ODBC as well.
