OpenDBX/C API/odbx query

#include <odbx.h>

int odbx_query(
    odbx_t* handle,
    const char* query,
    unsigned long length )

Description:

Sends a query string to the database server which must be terminated by a \0 character. Some backends support multiple statements per query, which can be tested by calling odbx_get_option().

After invoking odbx_query(), the results sent back by the server are available via the odbx_result() function.

Parameters:

• handle: Connection object created by odbx_init()
• query: String terminated by \0 consisting of one or more statements
• length: Length of the query string without the terminating \0 character

Return values:

• ODBX_ERR_SUCCESS on success
• Less than zero if an error occured

Errors:

• -ODBX_ERR_BACKEND: Any error returned by the backend
• -ODBX_ERR_PARAM: "handle" or query string are NULL or the structure is invalid
• -ODBX_ERR_NOMEM: Allocating new memory failed
