sqlite_query SQLiteDatabase->query Executes a query against a given database and returns a result handle &reftitle.description; resourcesqlite_query resourcedbhandle stringquery intresult_type stringerror_msg resourcesqlite_query stringquery resourcedbhandle intresult_type stringerror_msg Object oriented style (method): SQLiteDatabase SQLiteResultquery stringquery intresult_type stringerror_msg Executes an SQL statement given by the query against a given database handle. &reftitle.parameters; dbhandle The SQLite Database resource; returned from sqlite_open when used procedurally. This parameter is not required when using the object-oriented method. query The query to be executed. Data inside the query should be properly escaped. result_type &sqlite.result-type; error_msg The specified variable will be filled if an error occurs. This is specially important because SQL syntax errors can't be fetched using the sqlite_last_error function. &sqlite.param-compat; &reftitle.returnvalues; This function will return a result handle or &false; on failure. For queries that return rows, the result handle can then be used with functions such as sqlite_fetch_array and sqlite_seek. Regardless of the query type, this function will return &false; if the query failed. sqlite_query returns a buffered, seekable result handle. This is useful for reasonably small queries where you need to be able to randomly access the rows. Buffered result handles will allocate memory to hold the entire result and will not return until it has been fetched. If you only need sequential access to the data, it is recommended that you use the much higher performance sqlite_unbuffered_query instead. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 5.1.0 Added the error_msg parameter &reftitle.notes; SQLite will execute multiple queries separated by semicolons, so you can use it to execute a batch of SQL that you have loaded from a file or have embedded in a script. However, this works only when the result of the function is not used - if it is used, only the first SQL statement would be executed. Function sqlite_exec will always execute multiple SQL statements. When executing multiple queries, the return value of this function will be &false; if there was an error, but undefined otherwise (it might be &true; for success or it might return a result handle). &reftitle.seealso; sqlite_unbuffered_query sqlite_array_query
