An application can call SQLGetDescField to obtain a single field of a descriptor record. SQLGetDescField gives the application access to all the descriptor fields defined in ODBC, and to driver-defined fields as well.
SQLGetDescRec can be called to retrieve the settings of multiple descriptor fields that affect the data type and storage of column or parameter data.
