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 [CData].[Human_Resources].Workers (Legal_Name_Last_Name) VALUES ('John')");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "UPDATE [CData].[Human_Resources].Workers SET Legal_Name_Last_Name = 'John' WHERE Legal_Name_Last_Name = 'Morgan'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

DELETE

To delete updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "DELETE FROM [CData].[Human_Resources].Workers WHERE Id = '0e44c92412d34b01ace61e80a47aaf6d'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);
