# SQLSpecialColumns (Desktop Database Drivers)
A unique index will be returned (if one exists) for the SQL_BEST_ROWID flag in *fColType*. No result set will be returned for the SQL_ROWVER flag.  
  
 All row IDs have a scope of SQL_SCOPE_CURROW.  
  
 Pattern matching is not supported for either the *szTableQualifier* or *szTableName* argument.
