ADO/OLE DB and ODBC

The following table illustrates the cursor sensitivity that is set in response to different ODBC scrollable cursor types.

ODBC scrollable cursor type SQL Anywhere cursor
STATIC Insensitive
KEYSET-DRIVEN Value-sensitive
DYNAMIC Sensitive
MIXED Value-sensitive

A MIXED cursor is obtained by setting the cursor type to SQL_CURSOR_KEYSET_DRIVEN, and then specifying the number of rows in the keyset for a keyset-driven cursor using SQL_ATTR_KEYSET_SIZE. If the keyset size is 0 (the default), the cursor is fully keyset-driven. If the keyset size is greater than 0, the cursor is mixed (keyset-driven within the keyset and dynamic outside the keyset). The default keyset size is 0. It is an error if the keyset size is greater than 0 and less than the rowset size (SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE).
