Dan,
Thanks very much for responding to my problem post.
I was hoping I was just missing something in the syntax.
Looks like I made a very big mistake recommending MySql to my Client.
I have hundreds of SQL statements in the code I am converting for them. It is
C code in IBM DB/2 running on OS/2 right now and I need to get them to
Windows. It would take forever to do it the way the example shows. I
recommended
MySql because of previous experience with it being good (VB.net and IBM's
DCConnect high level script language).
I never would have dreamed that a great DB engine like MySql would have so
poor of implementation in C as this!
Question, I wander how the IBM DCConnect script applications I have written
do not have this problem? They use ODBC connections. I know the IBM DCConnect
is written in C (Under my code) and I know it works the 'same way' in DB/2,
SqlServer AND MySql. I just use a colon in front of the variable name in the
SQL
statement to get it to substitute the real value in when executed (like the
sample I provided on the post). What do you think about this?
I tried another approach... building the SQL statement string with sprintf,
still a pain, but may be easier then the 'mysql_stmt_execute'.
