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 Sheet_Test_Sheet (Name) VALUES ('Basic Agile Project with Gantt Timeline')");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "UPDATE Sheet_Test_Sheet SET Name = 'Basic Agile Project with Gantt Timeline' WHERE Favorite = 'True'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

DELETE

To delete updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "DELETE FROM Sheet_Test_Sheet WHERE Id = '123456'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);
