V11.5 Update Guide

DSQL no longer allows using ctsqlGetChar() to retrieve long variable columns

In V11.5 and later, the DSQL logic has been modified to return an error if you attempt to use ctsqlGetChar() on long columns because the value they return is not correct. Using the following functions on a long column now returns the CTSQLRET_INTYPES (SQL_ERR_INTYPES -20008) error:

ctsqlGetChar	ctsqlGetInteger	ctsqlGetMoney	ctsqlGetBinary
ctsqlGetNChar	ctsqlGetReal	ctsqlGetTime	ctsqlGetBit
ctsqlGetNumeric	ctsqlGetFloat	ctsqlGetTimeStamp	ctsqlGetBigInt
ctsqlGetSmallInt	ctsqlGetDate	ctsqlGetTinyInt	ctsqlGetNumericAsString

Note: This constitutes a Compatibility Change.
