Positioned Updates

The ODBC driver supports positioned UPDATE and DELETE commands when connected to a CA IDMS r14.0 or later system. This supports a more efficient native implementation than the one implemented in the ODBC Cursor Library supplied by Microsoft, which simulates positioned updates.

When using positioned updates, the BULK FETCH and piggybacked OPEN, CLOSE, and COMMIT optimizations are not used because they would interfere with cursor currency.
