SQLRowCount
Syntax
status = SQLRowCount (statement.env, rows)
Note: This function is case-sensitive. If you want it to be case-insensitive, you
must compile your programs using the BASIC command with the -i option.
Description
SQLRowCount returns the number of rows changed by UPDATE, INSERT, or
DELETE statements, or by a called procedure that executes one of these statements.
Statements such as GRANT and CREATE TABLE, which do not update rows in the
database, return 0 in rows.
For a SELECT statement, a 0 row count is always returned, unless the SELECT
statement includes the TO SLIST clause. In that case, SQLRowCount returns the
number of rows in the select list.
The value of rows returned after executing a stored procedure at the data source may
not be accurate. It is accurate for a single UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statement.
Parameters
The following table describes each parameter of the syntax.
