9.1.3.41 mysql_query()

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

Description

Executes the SQL query pointed to by the null-terminated string query. The query must consist of a single SQL statement. You should not add a terminating semicolon (`;') or \g to the statement.

mysql_query() cannot be used for queries that contain binary data; you should use mysql_real_query() instead. (Binary data may contain the `\0' character, which mysql_query() interprets as the end of the query string.)

If you want to know if the query should return a result set or not, you can use mysql_field_count() to check for this. See section 9.1.3.20 mysql_field_count().

Return Values

Zero if the query was successful. Non-zero if an error occurred.

Errors

CR_COMMANDS_OUT_OF_SYNC
Commands were executed in an improper order.
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.
