[Oledb-dev] Update support

[Shachar Shemesh]

Hi Victor,


First, you have not submitted your one-liner for update support, which
is the reason we did not have this discussion yet. No need to submit it now.


I do believe that the solution you propose is not the right solution to
the problem, but I'm looking for more input. What your proposed solution
does, if I understand it correctly, is to tell the client that the
columns we return are updateable.


For the moment I will skip questions such as "should a column containing
the table's primary key be marked "updateable", and would like, instead,
to focus on the main thing - the update are never flushed back to the
back end. The way I understand this patch, the client performs updates,
believing that these updates will be saved in the database. This is
something that never actually happens. I simply cannot sign off on a
patch that causes the driver to lie to the client in such a blatant way.


Am I missing something here?
