The following code examples show how to use data modification statements.

Procedure for Updates

You can use odbc_exec to execute data modification statements. This will return a resource which contains the number of affected rows.

INSERT

To insert updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "INSERT INTO Opportunities(Name) VALUES ('Residential Oppty')");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "UPDATE Opportunities SET Name = 'Residential Oppty' WHERE CreatedBy = 'Jack'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

DELETE

To delete updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "DELETE FROM Opportunities WHERE Id = '300000002693011'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);
