ResultSet Class

A ResultSet provides access to a table of data generated by executing a Statement. Table rows are retrieved in sequence. Within a row, column values can be accessed in any order.

A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data. Initially the cursor is positioned before the first row. The next method moves the cursor to the next row.

The getxxx() methods retrieve column values for the current row. You can retrieve values using the index number of the column. Columns are numbered beginning at 1. For the getxxx() methods, OCCI attempts to convert the underlying data to the specified C++ type and returns a C++ value. SQL types are mapped to C++ types with the ResultSet::getxxx() methods.

The number, types and properties of a ResultSet's columns are provided by the MetaData object returned by the getColumnListMetaData() method.

Table 12-37 Enumerated Values Used by ResultSet Class

Attribute Options
Status
  • DATA_AVAILABLE indicates that data for one or more rows was successfully fetched from the server; up to the requested number of rows (numRows) were returned. When in streamed mode, use the getNumArrayRows() method to determine the exact number of rows retrieved when numRows is greater than 1.

  • STREAM_DATA_AVAILABLE indicates that the application should call the getCurrentStreamColumn() method and read stream.

  • END_OF_FETCH indicates that no data was available for fetching.

   bool isNCHAR);
Parameter Description
paramIndex
