12. mxODBC Globals and Constants
EIGHTBIT_STRINGFORMAT, MIXED_STRINGFORMAT, UNICODE_STRINGFORMAT,
NATIVE_UNICODE_STRINGFORMAT
Integer values which are used by connection.stringformat and
cursor.stringformat.
mxODBC can handle different string conversion methods on a per connection
and per cursor basis. See the documentation of the two attributes for more
information.
ERROR_WARNINGFORMAT, WARN_WARNINGFORMAT, IGNORE_WARNINGFORMAT
Integer values which are used by connection.warningformat and
cursor.warningformat.
mxODBC can use different ways of reporting database warnings on a per
connection and per cursor basis. See the documentation of the two attributes
for more information.
FLOAT_DECIMALFORMAT, DECIMAL_DECIMALFORMAT
Integer values which are used by connection.decimalformat and
cursor.decimalformat.
mxODBC can handle different output formats for numeric and decimal
database column types on a per connection and per cursor basis. See the
documentation of the two attributes for more information.
HAVE_UNICODE_SUPPORT
Integer flag which is either 0 or 1 depending on whether mxODBC was
compiled with Unicode support or not. Unicode support is always available in
mxODBC 3.1 and later so this flag is always set to
1.
RowFactory
A reference to the mx.ODBC.Misc.RowFactory module which provides access
to a set of standard row factory functions which can be used for
cursor.rowfactory. See section 13 mx.ODBC.Misc.RowFactory Module for
details on the available API and section 5.9 Custom Cursor Row Objects and
Row Factory Functions for usage examples.
SQL
Singleton object which defines nearly all values available in the ODBC 3.5
header files. The "
SQL_" part of the ODBC symbols is omitted, e.g.
SQL_AUTOCOMMIT is available as SQL.AUTOCOMMIT.
apilevel
String constant stating the supported DB API level. This is set to '2.0', since
mxODBC supports the features of the DB API 2.0 standard. Many DB API 1.0
features are still supported too for backward compatibility.
errorclass
Writeable dictionary mapping SQL error code strings (ODBC's SQLSTATE) to
exception objects used by the module.
