Hi,
Thanks for ur reply. When i "commented out" the "mysql_data_seek()" function, "mysql_fetch_row()" returns me a non-NULL value (this should be the first row from the MResult). This results show that I've a valid connection and/or query. And when I call "mysql_fetch_row()" again (retrieving the 2nd row from the MResult, which is the desired row), it returns me a non-NULL value too. From this result, I know that I've not seek past the result set. However, with the addition of the "mysql_data_seek(MResult, 1)" function, a NULL value is returned. And that's where I don't know how the mistake was made. Please advice and thanks. wv -----Original Message----- From: Gelu Gogancea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 July 2002 23:03 To: Chan WieVia ICM N MC MI E3 Extern; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: C API: mysql_data_seek Hi, It's ok but you must retrieve data from "row". int sql_result;x,i; MYSQL_RES *MResult; MYSQL_ROW *row; MYSQL *MQuery; char SQLQuery[]; sprintf( SQLQuery, "SELECT * FROM Profile" ); sql_result = mysql_query(SQLQuery); MResult = mysql_store_result(MQuery); //mysql_store_result return in MResult not in MQuery (here was :...mysql_store_result(&MQuery)) mysql_data_seek(MResult, 1); //it's ok here...i suppose you whish to retrieve data from 2-nd "row".... row = mysql_fetch_row( MResult) ; // if you have a valid connection(or query) mysql_fetch_row should return non NULL value. i = mysql_num_fields(MResult) ; for ( x = 0 ; x < i ; x++ ) { printf("Data from MYSQL_ROW : %s \n",row[x]); } mysql_free_result( res ) ; I hope it's help.
