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

Procedure for Updates

Use SQLExecDirect to execute data manipulation statements and use the SQLRowCount function to obtain the affected rows.

INSERT

To insert updates:

SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &henv); 
SQLSetEnvAttr(henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (void*)SQL_OV_ODBC3, 0); 
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, henv, &hdbc); 
SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, 0, (SQLCHAR*)"Dsn=CData Informix Source;", SQL_NTS, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SQLExecDirect(hstmt, (SQLCHAR*)"INSERT INTO [informix].Books (Author) VALUES ('Jon Doe')", SQL_NTS);  
SQLINTEGER  rowCount = 0;
SQLRowCount(hstmt, &rowCount);

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &henv); 
SQLSetEnvAttr(henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (void*)SQL_OV_ODBC3, 0); 
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, henv, &hdbc); 
SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, 0, (SQLCHAR*)"Dsn=CData Informix Source;", SQL_NTS, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SQLExecDirect(hstmt, (SQLCHAR*)"UPDATE [informix].Books SET Author='Jon Doe' WHERE Category='US')", SQL_NTS);  
SQLINTEGER  rowCount = 0;
SQLRowCount(hstmt, &rowCount); 

DELETE

To delete updates:

SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, SQL_NULL_HANDLE, &henv); 
SQLSetEnvAttr(henv, SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION, (void*)SQL_OV_ODBC3, 0); 
SQLAllocHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC, henv, &hdbc); 
SQLDriverConnect(hdbc, 0, (SQLCHAR*)"Dsn=CData Informix Source;", SQL_NTS, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SQLExecDirect(hstmt, (SQLCHAR*)"DELETE FROM [informix].Books WHERE Id='22')", SQL_NTS);  
SQLINTEGER  rowCount = 0;
SQLRowCount(hstmt, &rowCount);
