FIX: Error Message "Invalid Time Format" When You Insert Date/Time With Maximum Values (259691)

MORE INFORMATION

Manual Installation of the Hotfix File

1. Quit any applications or services that use the SQL Server ODBC driver, Sqlsrv32.dll. This may include Internet Information Server (IIS), Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), and any ODBC, Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), or OLE DB applications.
2. Download the hotfix into a temporary directory.
3. Locate and rename the current versions of the Sqlsrv32.dll and Odbcbcp.dll files, which should be in the \Winnt\System32 folder for computers running Microsoft Windows NT, and in the \Windows\System folder for computers running Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98.
4. Copy the hotfix files into the same location, and then restart your services and applications.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Copy the code in step 2 into a Microsoft Visual C++ console application, and then compile the code. Please note that you may need to change the datasource name, user id and password.
2. Run the code, and note that an error occurs when binding the date/time value as SQL_C_TIMESTAMP, and that an invalid hour value is returned when binding the date/time value as SQL_C_CHAR.
