SYNOPSIS

#include <opendbx/api.h>

int odbx_row_fetch (odbx_result_t* result);

DESCRIPTION

Retrieves the values of a row from the current result set returned by odbx_result(). Until this function is invoked, no row and field data is available via odbx_field_length() or odbx_field_value() and these functions will return zero respectively NULL.

Moreover, it is necessary to fetch all rows from a result set until zero is returned indicating that no more rows are available. Otherwise - depending on the backend - an error may occur after calling odbx_result() the next time or the outstanding rows will be returned within the next result.

odbx_row_fetch() requires a valid result object which was created by odbx_result(). It must not have been feed to odbx_result_finish() before.

RETURN VALUE

odbx_row_fetch() will return ODBX_ROW_NEXT ("1") as long as rows are available from the result set. After the last row has been made available, further calls to this function will return ODBX_ROW_DONE ("0") indicating that the result set doesn't contain more rows. The named constants are available since OpenDBX 1.3.2 and the numbers in brackets have to be used instead if a previous release is is the basis for the application development.

In case of an error, values less than zero are returned encodeing the reason why the error occurred.
