Symptoms
When you try to set a connection attribute of an ODBC connection where connection pooling is enabled by using ODBC Driver API with Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver, you receive the following error message:
IM006[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
Note The ODBC Driver documentation mentions that the message is an information message. However, you receive the message as an error message.
This problem may occur when all the following conditions are true:
-
You make the connection with a data source name (DSN) by using the SQLConnect ODBC Driver API.
-
One of the default properties of the DSN (such as the Use ANSI nulls, paddings and warnings option) is disabled.
-
Connection pooling is enabled for the environment handle.
-
The Transaction Isolation Level attribute of the connection is set after you open the connection by using SQLConnect.
-
A database transaction is performed.
Workaround
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
-
Disable the connection pooling option for the ODBC connection.
Note Disabling connection pooling may affect the performance of your application. -
After you commit the transaction, do not turn on the auto commit option.
-
Set the transaction isolation level before you open the ODBC connection.
-
Use a DSN-less connection instead of obtaining the ODBC connection with a DSN.
