6.4.5 mysql_stmt_bind_param()

bool
mysql_stmt_bind_param(MYSQL_STMT *stmt,
                      MYSQL_BIND *bind)

Description

mysql_stmt_bind_param() is used to bind input data for the parameter markers in the SQL statement that was passed to mysql_stmt_prepare(). It uses MYSQL_BIND structures to supply the data. bind is the address of an array of MYSQL_BIND structures. The client library expects the array to contain one element for each ? parameter marker that is present in the query.

Suppose that you prepare the following statement:

INSERT INTO mytbl VALUES(?,?,?)

When you bind the parameters, the array of MYSQL_BIND structures must contain three elements, and can be declared like this:

MYSQL_BIND bind[3];

For a description of the members of the MYSQL_BIND structure and how they should be set to provide input values, see Section 6.2, “C API Prepared Statement Data Structures”.

Return Values

Zero for success. Nonzero if an error occurred.

  The conversion is not supported. Possibly the buffer_type value is invalid or is not one of the supported types.

• CR_OUT_OF_MEMORY

  Out of memory.

• CR_UNKNOWN_ERROR
