HandleType

The type of handle to be freed by SQLFreeHandle. The value must be one of the following:

  • SQL_HANDLE_ENV
  • SQL_HANDLE_DBC
  • SQL_HANDLE_STMT
  • SQL_HANDLE_DESC

If HandleType is not one of the preceding values, SQLFreeHandle returns SQL_INVALID_HANDLE.

Handle

The name of the handle to be freed.

Return Values

  • SQL_SUCCESS indicates that the call succeeded.
  • SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO indicates some warning information is displayed.
  • SQL_ERROR indicates major errors, such as memory allocation and connection failures.
  • SQL_INVALID_HANDLE indicates that invalid handles were called. Values returned by other APIs are similar to the preceding values.
