mysql_query - executes a null terminated statement string

  Synopsis

    #include <mysql.h>
    int mysql_query(MYSQL * mysql,
                    const char * query);

  Description

Performs a statement pointed to by the null terminate string query against the database. Contrary to mysql_real_query(3), mysql_query() is not binary safe.

  Parameter

•   mysql - a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3).

•   query -a null terminated string containing the statement to be performed.

  Notes

•   For executing multi statements the statements within the null terminated string statements must be separated by a semicolon.

•   If your statement contains binary data you should use mysql_real_query(3) or escape your data with mysql_hex_string(3).

•   To determine if a statement returned a result set use the function mysql_field_count(3).

  Return value

Returns zero on success, non zero on failure.
