Hi all. I'm using the MySQL C API to interface with my MySQL 4.1 server and I have the following questions:
When I do a SELECT of some integer data value what is actually returned is a string representation of the integer value and since I need this integer value in my client I have to convert it. Is it possible to get MySQL to return the actual integer value instead? If not, and I actually have to convert the value every time, I have another related question: Are the values returned zero-terminated? Or do I have to use the lengths that I can fetch with mysql_fetch_lengths? The reason that I ask this question is that if the fields are not zero-terminated I have to copy the values into a temporary buffer, zero-terminate that buffer and the do the conversion every time... This seems like a lot of wasted work ;-) Best regards, Mads Kristensen -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
