9.20. ODPI-C Statement Functions

Statement handles are used to represent statements of all types (queries, DML, DDL and PL/SQL). They are created by calling the function dpiConn_prepareStmt() or the function dpiSubscr_prepareStmt(). They are also created implicitly when a variable of type DPI_ORACLE_TYPE_STMT is created. Statement handles can be closed by calling the function dpiStmt_close() or by releasing the last reference to the statement by calling the function dpiStmt_release().

int dpiStmt_addRef(dpiStmt *stmt)

Adds a reference to the statement. This is intended for situations where a reference to the statement needs to be maintained independently of the reference returned when the statement was created.

The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

Parameter	Mode	Description
stmt	IN	The statement to which a reference is to be added. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.

int dpiStmt_bindByName(dpiStmt *stmt, const char *name, uint32_t nameLength, dpiVar *var)

Binds a variable to a named placeholder in the statement. A reference to the variable is retained by the library and is released when the statement itself is released or a new variable is bound to the same name.

The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

Parameter	Mode	Description
stmt	IN	A reference to the statement which is to have the variable bound. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
name	IN	A byte string in the encoding used for CHAR data giving the name of the placeholder which is to be bound.

int dpiStmt_fetch(dpiStmt *stmt, int *found, uint32_t *bufferRowIndex)

Fetches a single row from the buffers defined for the query. If no row is available in the buffers, an internal fetch takes place to populate them, if rows are available. The number of rows fetched into the internal buffers can be set by calling dpiStmt_setFetchArraySize(). If the statement does not refer to a query an error is returned. All columns that have not been defined prior to this call are implicitly defined using the metadata made available when the statement was executed.

The function dpiStmt_fetchRows() should be used instead of this function if it is important to control when the internal fetch (and round-trip to the database) takes place.

If no rows are currently available in the buffers, an internal fetch takes place in order to populate them, if rows are available. The number of rows fetched into the internal buffers can be set by calling dpiStmt_setFetchArraySize(). If the statement does not refer to a query an error is returned. All columns that have not been defined prior to this call are implicitly defined using the metadata made available when the statement was executed.

This function should be used instead of dpiStmt_fetch() if it is important to control when the internal fetch (and round-trip to the database) takes place.
