If the query succeeds, you can call <function>fbsql_num_rows</function> to
find out how many rows were returned for a SELECT statement or
<function>fbsql_affected_rows</function> to find out how many rows were
affected by a DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, or UPDATE statement.

<para>
<function>fbsql_query</function> returns &true; (non-zero) or &false;
to indicate whether or not the query succeeded. A return value
of &true; means that the query was legal and could be executed by
the server. It does not indicate anything about the number of
rows affected or returned. It is perfectly possible for a query
to succeed but affect no rows or return no rows.
</para>
<para>
For SELECT statements, <function>fbsql_query</function> returns a new
result identifier that you can pass to <function>fbsql_result</function>.
</para>
<para>
<function>fbsql_query</function> will also fail and return &false; if you
don't have permission to access the table(s) referenced by the query.
