Known Issues
The following are known issues that you may encounter due to limitations in
the data source, the connector, or an application.

* The connector does not order the result sets for the following catalog
functions:
SQLColumns, SQLForeignKeys, SQLGetTypeInfo, SQLPrimaryKeys,
SQLProcedureColumns, SQLProcedures, SQLTables

This is a limitation in the ODBC driver discovered in July 2024.

• The connector does not support parameterized types for Resultset and
• Parameter metadata.

This is a limitation of the Google BigQuery server.

• The connector does not support parameters in the exception block.

This is a limitation of the Google BigQuery server discovered on Mar 2021.

* On macOS or Linux platforms, when the connector converts SQL_DOUBLE data to
SQL_C_CHAR or SQL_C_WCHAR, data which is small or large enough to require
representation in scientific notation may prepend a 0 to the exponent.

This is a limitation of Google BigQuery. For a list of BigQuery data types …
