piyushjain220 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I am converting a PHP-mySQL application to a PHP-ODBC application. ie getting the database migrated from mysql to DB2.1. While using mysql i used mysql_data_seek function so as to reset the recordset pointer, but this does not work for ODBC connection. I tried and checked odbc_fetch_row($recordset,0) for resetting the recordset, but this does not work. Does anyone know how to reset the recordset via ODBC connection?------------------------------------------------------2. odbc_num_rows function does not work properly for ODBC. Does not really give the correct result always. It provides -1 many times.------------------------------------------------------3. SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC is not supported by the ODBC-DB2 driver hence functions like odbc_ fetch_ row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 To step through the result more than once, you can call odbc_fetch_row() with row_number 1, and then continue doing odbc_fetch_row() without row_number to review the result. If a driver doesn't support fetching rows by number, the row_number parameter is ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piyushjain220 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 But in case odbc_fetch_row() function is not working, do we have an alternative? Moreover how about if the cursor type (SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC) for odbc_connect is not supported?? do we have an alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Don't know. You could check out the manual like I just did. http://php.net/manual/en/book.uodbc.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barand Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm surprised, DB2 is in the list of databases that the library should support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
