6.4.10 mysql_stmt_execute()

int
mysql_stmt_execute(MYSQL_STMT *stmt)

Description

mysql_stmt_execute() executes the prepared query associated with the statement handler. The currently bound parameter marker values are sent to server during this call, and the server replaces the markers with this newly supplied data.

Statement processing following mysql_stmt_execute() depends on the type of statement:

• For an UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT, the number of changed, deleted, or inserted rows can be found by calling mysql_stmt_affected_rows().

• For a statement such as SELECT that generates a result set, you must call mysql_stmt_fetch() to fetch the data prior to calling any other functions that result in query processing. For more information on how to fetch the results, refer to Section 6.4.11, “mysql_stmt_fetch()”.

  Do not follow invocation of mysql_stmt_execute() with a call to mysql_store_result() or mysql_use_result(). Those functions are not intended for processing results from prepared statements.

For statements that generate a result set, you can request that mysql_stmt_execute() open a cursor for the statement by calling mysql_stmt_attr_set() before executing the statement. If you execute a statement multiple times, mysql_stmt_execute() closes any open cursor before opening a new one.

Metadata changes to tables or views referred to by prepared statements are detected and cause automatic repreparation of the statement when it is next executed. For more information, see Caching of Prepared Statements and Stored Programs.

Return Values

Zero for success. Nonzero if an error occurred.

Errors

• CR_COMMANDS_OUT_OF_SYNC

  Commands were executed in an improper order.

• CR_OUT_OF_MEMORY

  Out of memory.

• CR_SERVER_GONE_ERROR

  The MySQL server has gone away.

• CR_SERVER_LOST

  The connection to the server was lost during the query.

• CR_UNKNOWN_ERROR

  An unknown error occurred.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create and populate a table using mysql_stmt_init(), mysql_stmt_prepare(), mysql_stmt_param_count(), mysql_stmt_bind_param(), mysql_stmt_execute(), and mysql_stmt_affected_rows(). The mysql variable is assumed to be a valid connection handler. For an example that shows how to retrieve data, see Section 6.4.11, “mysql_stmt_fetch()”.
