/**********************************************************************
* FILENAME : TVPInsertRecs.c
*
* DESCRIPTION :
* Demonstrates a simple example of using a Table-Valued Parameter
* (TVP) to populate a table using a stored procedure with just one
* parameter. TVPs were introduced in SQL SERVER 2008. A TVP is a
* data type that can be used to hold records in a 'table' like
* manner but are held within a variable inside a program. The
* whole of the 'table' like parameter can then be passed as a
* single parameter to a stored procedure for processing. For
* example, TVPs can be usefully applied when performing bulk data
* operations where a whole set of rows can be passed as a single
* parameter to a stored procedure for subsequent inserting into
* a database table.
*
* ODBC USAGE :
*
* The TVP used here represents a table type with 4 columns:
* FirstName, LastName, Address and City.
*
* Prompts user for number of records to create
*
* Sets up the test by dropping and re-creating:-
* 1. Database Table (TestTVPTable1) - into which rows
* are written from rows in a TVP.
* 2. Stored Procedure (InsertFromTVP) - to select records
* from the TVP and insert them into TestTVPTable1.
* 3. TVP Table Variable (PersonTVP) - Table variable to
* hold records and passed as a single parameter to
* InsertFromTVP().
*
* Bind Paramaters:
* Binds parameter 1 as a TVP
*
* Bind TVP Parameters:
* Sets focus on parameter 1
* Bind arrays to each of the 4 TVP columns and lengths. i.e.
* for FirstName, LastName, Address and City
* Clears focus by setting focus to zero
*
* Load data into the TVP bound arrays:
* For the number of records requested
* prompts user for each of the four columns per row
* and save each set in the next row of the TVP bound buffers
* Execute the stores procedure to insert the records stored in the
* TVP bound array buffers. Note the stored procedure only takes
* one parameter, the TVP, but upto as many as MAX_ARRAY_SIZE records
* are written to the table.
