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].[Employee Management].Leave_Types (Leave_Type) VALUES ('Sick')");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "UPDATE [CData].[Employee Management].Leave_Types SET Leave_Type = 'Sick' WHERE Leave_Type = 'Sick'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

DELETE

To delete updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "DELETE FROM [CData].[Employee Management].Leave_Types WHERE Id = '98891000000010007'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);
