- In many cases, the particular SQL statements that an application
- has to execute are known at the time the application is written.
- In some cases, however, the SQL statements are composed at run time
- or provided by an external source. In these cases you cannot embed
- the SQL statements directly into the C source code, but there is a
- facility that allows you to call arbitrary SQL statements that you
- provide in a string variable.
- </p><div class="sect2" id="ECPG-DYNAMIC-WITHOUT-RESULT"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">35.5.1. Executing Statements without a Result Set</h3></div></div></div><p>
- The simplest way to execute an arbitrary SQL statement is to use
- the command <code class="command">EXECUTE IMMEDIATE</code>. For example:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
- const char *stmt = "CREATE TABLE test1 (...);";
- EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
-
- EXEC SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :stmt;
- </pre><p>
- <code class="command">EXECUTE IMMEDIATE</code> can be used for SQL
- statements that do not return a result set (e.g.,
- DDL, <code class="command">INSERT</code>, <code class="command">UPDATE</code>,
- <code class="command">DELETE</code>). You cannot execute statements that
- retrieve data (e.g., <code class="command">SELECT</code>) this way. The
- next section describes how to do that.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" id="ECPG-DYNAMIC-INPUT"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">35.5.2. Executing a Statement with Input Parameters</h3></div></div></div><p>
- A more powerful way to execute arbitrary SQL statements is to
- prepare them once and execute the prepared statement as often as
- you like. It is also possible to prepare a generalized version of
- a statement and then execute specific versions of it by
- substituting parameters. When preparing the statement, write
- question marks where you want to substitute parameters later. For
- example:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
- const char *stmt = "INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(?, ?);";
- EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
-
- EXEC SQL PREPARE mystmt FROM :stmt;
- ...
- EXEC SQL EXECUTE mystmt USING 42, 'foobar';
- </pre><p>
- </p><p>
- When you don't need the prepared statement anymore, you should
- deallocate it:
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- EXEC SQL DEALLOCATE PREPARE <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>;
- </pre><p>
- </p></div><div class="sect2" id="ECPG-DYNAMIC-WITH-RESULT"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">35.5.3. Executing a Statement with a Result Set</h3></div></div></div><p>
- To execute an SQL statement with a single result row,
- <code class="command">EXECUTE</code> can be used. To save the result, add
- an <code class="literal">INTO</code> clause.
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
- const char *stmt = "SELECT a, b, c FROM test1 WHERE a > ?";
- int v1, v2;
- VARCHAR v3[50];
- EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
-
- EXEC SQL PREPARE mystmt FROM :stmt;
- ...
- EXEC SQL EXECUTE mystmt INTO :v1, :v2, :v3 USING 37;
-
- </pre><p>
- An <code class="command">EXECUTE</code> command can have an
- <code class="literal">INTO</code> clause, a <code class="literal">USING</code> clause,
- both, or neither.
- </p><p>
- If a query is expected to return more than one result row, a
- cursor should be used, as in the following example.
- (See <a class="xref" href="ecpg-commands.html#ECPG-CURSORS" title="35.3.2. Using Cursors">Section 35.3.2</a> for more details about the
- cursor.)
- </p><pre class="programlisting">
- EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
- char dbaname[128];
- char datname[128];
- char *stmt = "SELECT u.usename as dbaname, d.datname "
- " FROM pg_database d, pg_user u "
- " WHERE d.datdba = u.usesysid";
- EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
-
- EXEC SQL CONNECT TO testdb AS con1 USER testuser;
- EXEC SQL SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false); EXEC SQL COMMIT;
-
- EXEC SQL PREPARE stmt1 FROM :stmt;
-
- EXEC SQL DECLARE cursor1 CURSOR FOR stmt1;
- EXEC SQL OPEN cursor1;
-
- EXEC SQL WHENEVER NOT FOUND DO BREAK;
-
- while (1)
- {
- EXEC SQL FETCH cursor1 INTO :dbaname,:datname;
- printf("dbaname=%s, datname=%s\n", dbaname, datname);
- }
-
- EXEC SQL CLOSE cursor1;
-
- EXEC SQL COMMIT;
- EXEC SQL DISCONNECT ALL;
- </pre><p>
