Buffers and memory allocation

When you retrieve data into a buffer that already contains a row or collection, HCL Informix® ODBC Driver does not reuse the same buffer.

Instead, HCL Informix ODBC Driver performs the following steps:
  1. Creates a row or collection buffer.
  2. Associates the new buffer with the given buffer handle.
  3. Deallocates the original buffer.
