mysql_error(3)

🎀 Name 🎀

okay bestie, meet mysql_error 💖 — it returns the last error message for the most recent function call. no cap.

This one lives in MariaDB Connector/C, and the manual page is mysql_error(3). 🫶

✨ Synopsis ✨

here's the exact spell, bestie:

#include <mysql.h>

const char * mysql_error(MYSQL * mysql);

💖 Description 💖

so what it does: mysql_error() returns the last error message for the most recent function call that can succeed or fail. that's the whole assignment. 💅

if you get an empty string, that means no error occurred. iconic behavior, honestly. 🍓

🌸 Parameter 🌸

• mysql — this is a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3). 🫶

🦋 Notes 🦋

• Client error codes are listed in the errmsg.h header file, and server error codes are listed in the mysqld_error.h header file of the server source distribution. 👀
• Client error messages can be obtained by calling mariadb_get_infov(3) and passing the parameter MARIADB_CLIENT_ERRORS. ✨
