- Retrieve the description of a parameter associated with a prepared SQL statement (ODBC_SQLDescribeParam)
- Execute a statement, using the current values of the parameter marker variables if any parameters exist in the statement that you pass directly to it (ODBC_SQLExecDirect)
- Execute a prepared statement, using the current values of the parameter marker variables if any parameter markers exist in the statement (ODBC_SQLExecute)
- Return the SQL string as modified by the driver but do not execute the SQL statement (ODBC_SQLNativeSQL)
- Obtain the number of parameters in an SQL statement (ODBC_SQLNumParams)
- Supply parameter data at statement execution time before calling ODBC_SQLPutData (ODBC_SQLParamData)
- Send data for a parameter or column to the driver (ODBC_SQLPutData)
