Even though the driver connection interface is not quite clear about this, the
exec()
method is obviously intended for DML/DDL statements to be directly executed without preparing the statement beforehand. It is not possible to bind parameters here and it will only ever return affected rows.Now while nevertheless using prepared statements internally might not seem like such a big deal, there are some cons about this approach:
I also updated the testsuite where invalid
executeQuery()
calls for DML/DDL statement where done.This bugfix is required for the SQL Server testsuite to succeed. It makes 16 errors succeed on this branch with
sqlsrv
.I did not add any additonal tests because it is not possible to mock whether prepared statements are used or not and also all of the various test cases are already covered by functional tests.
