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] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
