Oracle client with OpenforwardOnly flag in database connection. - database

Question

I am porting an existing windows based C++ application to 64 bit environment, and this is one of those weird errors.
In the code snippet you can that I am using openforwardonly and it used to work fine with our old setup but in the 64 bit environment it gives the problem of fetching only ONE recordset. Or it could be a problem with the MoveNext(); of ADO.
To circumvent it we started using adOpenStatic, and it worked fine for me for a while but only later realized that it has a performance hit and it is taking forever to get/iterative through values.
I request someone to try this code with both the flags and validate the behavior I am seeing.

I remember seeing a MS support case, but I can't get to it now.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions. I know we are using old technology, but we want to move to the additional capabilities without changing code much.

Answer 1

Using "adOpenStatic" instead of "adOpenForwardOnly" will work
pRstDoctors->Open("select logid from log",strCnn, adOpenStatic,
**adLockReadOnly**,adCmdText);
