    Doesn't "No Data" refer to the result set as a whole, not individual

No, I think it’s column based.

1) My knowledge of ODBC is limited.

2) This:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/develop-app/return-codes-odbc?view=sql-server-ver17

"SQL_NO_DATA No more data was available. The application calls SQLGetDiagRec or SQLGetDiagField to retrieve additional information. One or more driver-defined status records in class 02xxx may be returned. Note: In ODBC 2.x, this return code was named SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND."

would seem to indicate that David Johnston is correct:

'Doesn't "No Data" refer to the result set as a whole, not individual columns? I'd assume NULL is detected some other way.'

The call to SQLGetData() returns data in one column.

And as stated it successfully retrieves empty array for column 3 and moves on.

Thank you.
