mariadb_dyn...column_count(3)

✨ Name ✨

mariadb_dyncol_column_count — bestie, this one gets you the number of columns in a dynamic column blob. That's it. That's the whole job. 💖

This is from the MariaDB Connector/C manual, page mariadb_dyn...column_count(3), iykyk.

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

#include <mariadb_dyncol.h>

enum enum_dyncol_func_result
mariadb_dyncol_column_count(DYNAMIC_COLUMN *str,
                            unsigned int *column_count);

🎀 Description 🎀

okay so picture this: you've got a dynamic column blob, right? and you're like "how many columns are in here fr fr" — that's literally what this function does. It gets the number of columns in a dynamic column blob. no cap. 🦋

💅 Parameter 💅

• *str — a pointer to a DYNAMIC_COLUMN structure. your little blob container, your main character. 👑
• column_count — an unsigned integer pointer where the number of columns is gonna get stored. it's giving "output goes here". ✨

💖 Return value 💖

Returns ER_DYNCOL_OK on success. Otherwise? error. that's the whole vibe check. 😭

🌈 Notes 🌈

• heads up bestie — mariadb_dyncol_column_count() doesn't count NULL values. so if you were expecting those to show up in your count... they're not invited to the party. 💀 not me finding that out the hard way.
