9.5 Working with SQL Result Sets

When you execute an SQL operation on a Session using the sql() method, an SqlResult is returned. Iterating over an SqlResult is identical to working with results from CRUD operations. The following example assumes that the users table exists.

MySQL Shell JavaScript Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
var res = mySession.sql('SELECT name, age FROM users').execute();

var row;
while (row = res.fetchOne()) {
  print('Name: ' + row['name'] + '\n');
  print(' Age: ' + row.age + '\n');
}

MySQL Shell Python Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
res = mySession.sql('SELECT name, age FROM users').execute()

row = res.fetch_one()

while row:
    print('Name: %s\n' % row[0])
    print(' Age: %s\n' % row.age)
    row = res.fetch_one()

Node.js JavaScript Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
mySession.sql('SELECT name, age FROM users')
  .execute()
  .then(res => {
    while (row = res.fetchOne()) {
      console.log('Name: ' + row[0] + '\n');
      console.log(' Age: ' + row[1] + '\n');
    }
  });

Alternatively, you can use callbacks:

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
mySession.sql('SELECT name, age FROM users')
  .execute(function (row) {
    console.log('Name: ' + row[0] + '\n');
    console.log(' Age: ' + row[1] + '\n');
});

C# Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
var res = Session.SQL("SELECT name, age FROM users").Execute();

while (res.Next())
{
  Console.WriteLine("Name: " + res.Current["name"]);
  Console.WriteLine("Age: " + res.Current["age"]);
}

Python Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
# Connector/Python
res = mySession.sql('SELECT name, age FROM users').execute()

row = res.fetch_one()

while row:
        print('Name: %s\n' % row[0])
        print(' Age: %s\n' % row.age)
        row = res.fetch_one()

Java Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
SqlResult res = mySession.sql("SELECT name, age FROM users").execute();

Row row;
while ((row = res.fetchOne()) != null) {
  System.out.println(" Name: " + row.getString("name") + "\n");
  System.out.println(" Age: " + row.getInt("age") + "\n");
}

C++ Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
SqlResult res = mysession.sql("SELECT name, age FROM users").execute();

Row row;
while ((row = res.fetchOne())) {
  cout << "Name: " << row[0] << endl;
  cout << " Age: " << row[1] << endl;
}

SqlResult differs from results returned by CRUD operations in the way how result sets and data sets are represented. An SqlResult combines a result set produced by, for example, INSERT, and a data set, produced by, for example, SELECT in one. Unlike with CRUD operations, there is no distinction between the two types for SqlResult. An SqlResult instance exports methods for accessing data and to retrieving the last inserted ID or number of affected rows.

Use the hasData() method to learn whether an SqLResult is a data set or a result. The method is useful when code is to be written that has no knowledge about the origin of an SqlResult. This can be the case when writing a generic application function to print query results or when processing stored procedure results. If hasData() returns true, then the SqlResult origins from a SELECT or similar command that can return rows.

A return value of true does not indicate whether the data set contains any rows. The data set can be empty if, for example, fetchOne() returns NULL or fetchAll() returns an empty list. And if multiple result sets are returned, any of the result sets may be empty too. The following example assumes that the procedure my_proc exists.

var res = mySession.sql('CALL my_proc()').execute();

    do {
      print(row);
    } while (row = res.fetchOne());
  }
  else{
    print('Empty list of rows.');

It is an error to call either fetchOne() or fetchAll() when hasData() indicates that an SqlResult is not a data set.

Calling a stored procedure might result in having to deal with multiple result sets as part of a single execution. As a result for the query execution an SqlResult object is returned, which encapsulates the first result set. After processing the result set you can call nextResult() to move forward to the next result, if there is any. Once you advanced to the next result set, it replaces the previously loaded result which then becomes unavailable.

When using Node.js, individual rows can be returned immediately using a callback, which has to be provided to the execute() method. To identify individual result sets you can provide a second callback, which is called for meta data that marks the beginning of a result set.

Node.js JavaScript Code

Press CTRL+C to copy
 
var resultcount = 0;
var res = session
  .sql('CALL my_proc()')
  .execute(
    function (row) {
      console.log(row);
    },
    function (meta) {
      console.log('Begin of result set number ', resultCount++);
    });

The number of result sets is not known immediately after the query execution. Query results can be streamed to the client or buffered at the client. In the streaming or partial buffering mode a client cannot tell whether a query emits more than one result set.
