Managing & Using MySQL, 2nd Edition

Name

mysql_send_query —

Synopsis

int mysql_send_query(MYSQL *mysql, char *query, unsigned int query_length)

Executes a single MySQL query, without providing any results to the user. This function is useful for quickly executing a non-SELECT statement that does not return any data to the user. This function is also useful for debugging, since the return value still accurately reports whether an error occurred. The function returns 0 on success and nonzero if an error occurred.

Example

/* Quickly insert a row into a table */
mysql_send_query(&mysql, "INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ('blah', 'fnor')");
