DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED
OLE DB command was reexecuted to satisfy the operation
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED is HRESULT 265927 (0x00040EC7) from Microsoft OLE DB. AllStat describes DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED as “Command was reexecuted.” The high-order severity bit is clear, so this is a success result, but it carries more information than plain S_OK.
The provider completed the request by reexecuting the command, which can refresh data and invalidate assumptions about a previous execution snapshot.
Where this result is encountered
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTEDcan appear in rowset repositioning or resynchronization; record the producing interface and method rather than inferring behavior from the symbolic name alone.DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTEDcan appear in providers without a cheaper cursor operation; record the producing interface and method rather than inferring behavior from the symbolic name alone.DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTEDcan appear in commands whose rowset must be recreated; record the producing interface and method rather than inferring behavior from the symbolic name alone.
For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, the same numeric success value can be mishandled when a wrapper exposes only a Boolean. For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, keep the original HRESULT until the code-specific outputs and state transition have been evaluated.
State boundary that must be proved
The central question for DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED is whether reexecution side effects, parameters, transaction context, and result schema are acceptable and known to the consumer. For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, the HRESULT alone confirms neither unrelated work nor the quality of optional outputs.
A reliable interpretation of DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED names the exact method contract, the object generation, and the outputs that remain valid. For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, this prevents a success-with-information result from being promoted to full success or demoted to a generic error.
Evidence and telemetry to preserve
- For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, preserve command text and parameter values. - For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, preserve execution count and timestamps. - For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, preserve transaction identifier. - For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, preserve rowset schema before and after. - For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, preserve server-side side effects or trigger activity.
Also record db_s_commandreexecuted_operation, db_s_commandreexecuted_object, db_s_commandreexecuted_state_before, db_s_commandreexecuted_state_after, UTC time, process and thread identifiers, and a correlation ID. For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, keep secrets out of logs while retaining GUIDs, CLSIDs, media subtypes, property IDs, row identities, and hashes needed to distinguish objects.
Correct handling, retry, and recovery
Accept the new rowset only if reexecution is safe. Commands with side effects require idempotency protection or a design that prevents automatic reexecution.
Retry DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED only when the recorded state can change the documented outcome. For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, repeating the same call is inappropriate for a stable end marker, cancellation, unsupported format, adjusted property, or partial result whose completed side effects have not been reconciled.
Diagnostic sequence
- For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, capture the raw HRESULT0x00040EC7immediately after the returning method and record whether the caller usedSUCCEEDED,FAILED, equality testing, or exception translation. - Identify the exact owner of
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED: interface, method, object instance, provider or filter version, thread or apartment, and operation phase. - Validate the decisive contract boundary for
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED: reexecution side effects, parameters, transaction context, and result schema are acceptable and known to the consumer. - For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, inspect every output parameter, count, status array, returned interface, or side effect that the method documentation associates with this success-with-information result. - Compare the observed state before and after
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED; do not assume that a success severity bit means every optional sub-operation completed. - For
DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, reproduce the smallest request with the same object state and then change only the condition identified by the evidence before repeating the operation.
Practical validation scenario
A provider reexecutes a read-only query to reposition a scrollable view. The client detects the new snapshot generation and refreshes cached bookmarks rather than mixing them with the old rowset.
The negative test should preserve the condition that produces DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED; the recovery test should alter only that condition and verify the final state as well as the HRESULT.
Difference from nearby HRESULT values
DB_S_COLUMNSCHANGED reports schema drift during repositioning; DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED reports the provider strategy used to complete the request.
For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, this distinction determines whether the caller should consume partial outputs, stop iteration, wait, reconfigure, notify the user, or perform no error recovery at all.
Developer and administrator guidance
For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, application telemetry should separate terminal failure, ordinary success, partial completion, continuation, cancellation, and warning-like success. For DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED, support bundles should contain the smallest reproducible call and the effective configuration seen by the owning component.
A support report for DB_S_COMMANDREEXECUTED should include decimal 265927, hexadecimal 0x00040EC7, the AllStat meaning, the owning API, and the first detailed status or output that explains why the method did not return ordinary S_OK.
