mysql_stmt_row_tell(3)

✨ NAME ✨

mysql_stmt_row_tell — it literally tells you where the row cursor is at 💅 (it's a MariaDB Connector/C thing, bestie, so grab your mysql.h and come sit with me)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <mysql.h>

MYSQL_ROW_OFFSET mysql_stmt_row_tell(MYSQL_STMT * stmt);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: your result cursor is out there living its main character life, and you're like "bestie... where are you tho?" 😭

That's the whole job. mysql_stmt_row_tell() returns the row offset of a result cursor. And the tea is that the offset value it hands back? You can use it to reposition the result cursor by calling mysql_stmt_row_seek(3). So it's giving bookmark energy — save your spot, jump back whenever, iconic behavior fr fr 🎀

🦋 PARAMETER 🦋

• stmt — a statement handle, which was previously allocated by mysql_stmt_init(3). Like, it has to already exist, you can't just show up with vibes and no handle 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns the current position of the row cursor. That's it, that's the gift 🫶

👑 NOTES 👑

• This function can be used for buffered result sets only, which can be obtained by executing the mysql_stmt_store_result(3) function.

lowkey important: buffered only!! if you didn't mysql_stmt_store_result(3) first, this is not the function for you, no cap 💀

Version 3.4 of MariaDB Connector/C, that's the era we're living in besties ✨ mwah, go slay some result sets, ily, drink water, bye 💖🎀🦋🌸💅
