Synopsis

#include <mysql.h>


int mysql_query(MYSQL * mysql,
                const char * query);

Description

Performs a statement pointed to by the null terminate string query against the database. Contrary to mysql_real_query(3), mysql_query() is not binary safe.

Parameter

	•		`mysql` − a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3).
	•		`query` −a null terminated string containing the statement to be performed.

Notes

	•		For executing multi statements the statements within the null terminated string statements must be separated by a semicolon.
	•		If your statement contains binary data you should use mysql_real_query(3) or escape your data with mysql_hex_string(3).
	•		To determine if a statement returned a result set use the function mysql_field_count(3).

Return value

Returns zero on success, non zero on failure.

	•		mysql_real_query(3)
	•		mysql_field_count(3)
	•		mysql_hex_string(3)
	•		mysql_use_result(3)
