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\".\"Sample\".Products (Name) VALUES ('John')");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

UPDATE

To retrieve updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "UPDATE \"CData\".\"Sample\".Products SET Name = 'John' WHERE Industry = 'Floppy Disks'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);

DELETE

To delete updates:

$result = odbc_exec($cnx, "DELETE FROM \"CData\".\"Sample\".Products WHERE Id = '1'");
$affected = odbc_num_rows($result);
