MYSQL_RES *mysql_use_result(MYSQL *mysql)
Description
You must call mysql_store_result()
or
mysql_use_result()
for every query that
successfully retrieves data (SELECT
,
SHOW
, DESCRIBE
,
EXPLAIN
).
mysql_use_result()
initiates a result set
retrieval but does not actually read the result set into the
client like mysql_store_result()
does.
Instead, each row must be retrieved individually by making
calls to mysql_fetch_row()
. This reads the
result of a query directly from the server without storing it
in a temporary table or local buffer, which is somewhat faster
and uses much less memory than
mysql_store_result()
. The client allocates
memory only for the current row and a communication buffer
that may grow up to max_allowed_packet
bytes.
On the other hand, you shouldn't use
mysql_use_result()
if you are doing a lot
of processing for each row on the client side, or if the
output is sent to a screen on which the user may type a
^S
(stop scroll). This ties up the server
and prevent other threads from updating any tables from which
the data is being fetched.
When using mysql_use_result()
, you must
execute mysql_fetch_row()
until a
NULL
value is returned, otherwise, the
unfetched rows are returned as part of the result set for your
next query. The C API gives the error Commands out of
sync; you can't run this command now
if you forget
to do this!
You may not use mysql_data_seek()
,
mysql_row_seek()
,
mysql_row_tell()
,
mysql_num_rows()
, or
mysql_affected_rows()
with a result
returned from mysql_use_result()
, nor may
you issue other queries until the
mysql_use_result()
has finished. (However,
after you have fetched all the rows,
mysql_num_rows()
accurately returns the
number of rows fetched.)
You must call mysql_free_result()
once you
are done with the result set.
Return Values
A MYSQL_RES
result structure.
NULL
if an error occurred.
Errors
mysql_use_result()
resets
mysql_error()
and
mysql_errno()
if it succeeds.
CR_COMMANDS_OUT_OF_SYNC
Commands were executed in an improper order.
CR_OUT_OF_MEMORY
Out of memory.
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.
