ifx_affected_rows Get number of rows affected by a query intifx_affected_rows intresult_id result_id is a valid result id returned by ifx_query or ifx_prepare. Returns the number of rows affected by a query associated with result_id. For inserts, updates and deletes the number is the real number (sqlerrd[2]) of affected rows. For selects it is an estimate (sqlerrd[0]). Don't rely on it. The database server can never return the actual number of rows that will be returned by a SELECT because it has not even begun fetching them at this stage (just after the "PREPARE" when the optimizer has determined the query plan). Useful after ifx_prepare to limit queries to reasonable result sets. 1000) { printf ("Too many rows in result set (%d)\n
