SQLExecDirect

Function

SQLExecDirect executes a prepared SQL statement specified in this parameter. This is the fastest execution method for executing only one SQL statement at a time.

Prototype

SQLRETURN SQLExecDirect(SQLHSTMT         StatementHandle,
                        SQLCHAR         *StatementText,
                        SQLINTEGER       TextLength);

Parameter

Table 1 SQLExecDirect parameters

Keyword

Description

StatementHandle

Statement handle, obtained from SQLAllocHandle.

StatementText

SQL statement to be executed. One SQL statement can be executed at a time.

TextLength

Length of StatementText.

Return Values

  • SQL_SUCCESS indicates that the call succeeded.

  • SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO indicates some warning information is displayed.

  • SQL_NEED_DATA indicates insufficient parameters provided before executing the SQL statement.

  • SQL_ERROR indicates major errors, such as memory allocation and connection failures.

  • SQL_INVALID_HANDLE indicates that invalid handles were called. Values returned by other APIs are similar to the preceding values.

  • SQL_STILL_EXECUTING indicates that the statement is being executed.

  • SQL_NO_DATA indicates that the SQL statement does not return a result set.

Precautions

If SQLExecDirect returns SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, the application can then call SQLGetDiagRec, set HandleType and Handle to SQL_HANDLE_STMT and StatementHandle, and obtain the SQLSTATE value. The SQLSTATE value provides the detailed function calling information.
