-The demo program is designed so that a transient error during an attempt to connect leads to a retry. (Transient error codes start with the prefix '08' as listed in this [appendix](../../odbc/reference/appendixes/appendix-a-odbc-error-codes.md).) But a transient error during query command causes the program to discard the connection and create a new connection, before retrying the query command. We don't recommend or discourage this design choice. The demo program illustrates some of the design flexibility that is available to you.
