.. _dpiStmtFunctions:

ODPI-C Statement Functions
--------------------------

Statement handles are used to represent statements of all types (queries, DML,
DDL and PL/SQL). They are created by calling the function
:func:`dpiConn_prepareStmt()` or the function :func:`dpiSubscr_prepareStmt()`.
They are also created implicitly when a variable of type DPI_ORACLE_TYPE_STMT
is created. Statement handles can be closed by calling the function
:func:`dpiStmt_close()` or by releasing the last reference to the statement by
calling the function :func:`dpiStmt_release()`.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_addRef(dpiStmt* stmt)

    Adds a reference to the statement. This is intended for situations where a
    reference to the statement needs to be maintained independently of the
    reference returned when the statement was created.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - The statement to which a reference is to be added. If the reference
            is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_bindByName(dpiStmt* stmt, const char* name, \
        uint32_t nameLength, dpiVar* var)

    Binds a variable to a named placeholder in the statement. A reference to
    the variable is retained by the library and is released when the statement
    itself is released or a new variable is bound to the same name.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to have the variable bound.
            If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``name``
          - IN
          - A byte string in the encoding used for CHAR data giving the name
            of the placeholder which is to be bound.
        * - ``nameLength``
          - IN
          - The length of the name parameter, in bytes.
        * - ``var``
          - IN
          - A reference to the variable which is to be bound. If the reference
            is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_bindByPos(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t pos, dpiVar* var)

    Binds a variable to a placeholder in the statement by position. A reference
    to the variable is retained by the library and is released when the
    statement itself is released or a new variable is bound to the same
    position.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to have the variable bound.
            If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``pos``
          - IN
          - The position which is to be bound. The position of a placeholder
            is determined by its location in the statement. Placeholders are
            numbered from left to right, starting from 1, and duplicate names
            do not count as additional placeholders.
        * - ``var``
          - IN
          - A reference to the variable which is to be bound. If the reference
            is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_bindValueByName(dpiStmt* stmt, const char* name, \
        uint32_t nameLength, dpiNativeTypeNum nativeTypeNum, dpiData* data)

    Binds a value to a named placeholder in the statement without the need to
    create a variable directly. One is created implicitly and released when the
    statement is released or a new value is bound to the same name.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to have the variable bound.
            If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``name``
          - IN
          - A byte string in the encoding used for CHAR data giving the name
            of the placeholder which is to be bound.
        * - ``nameLength``
          - IN
          - The length of the name parameter, in bytes.
        * - ``nativeTypeNum``
          - IN
          - The type of data that is being bound. It is expected to be one of
            the values from the enumeration
            :ref:`dpiNativeTypeNum<dpiNativeTypeNum>`.
        * - ``data``
          - IN
          - The data which is to be bound, as a pointer to a
            :ref:`dpiData<dpiData>` structure. A variable will be created
            based on the type of data being bound and a reference to this
            variable retained. Once the statement has been executed, this new
            variable will be released.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_bindValueByPos(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t pos, \
        dpiNativeTypeNum nativeTypeNum, dpiData* data)

    Binds a value to a placeholder in the statement without the need to create
    a variable directly. One is created implicitly and released when the
    statement is released or a new value is bound to the same position.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to have the variable bound.
            If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``pos``
          - IN
          - The position which is to be bound. The position of a placeholder
            is determined by its location in the statement. Placeholders are
            numbered from left to right, starting from 1, and duplicate names
            do not count as additional placeholders.
        * - ``nativeTypeNum``
          - IN
          - The type of data that is being bound. It is expected to be one of
            the values from the enumeration
            :ref:`dpiNativeTypeNum<dpiNativeTypeNum>`.
        * - ``data``
          - IN
          - The data which is to be bound, as a pointer to a
            :ref:`dpiData<dpiData>` structure. A variable will be created
            based on the type of data being bound and a reference to this
            variable retained. Once the statement has been executed, this
            new variable will be released.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_close(dpiStmt* stmt, const char* tag, \
        uint32_t tagLength)

    Closes the statement and makes it unusable for further work immediately,
    rather than when the reference count reaches zero.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to be closed. If the
            reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``tag``
          - IN
          - A key to associate the statement with in the statement cache, in
            the encoding used for CHAR data. NULL is also acceptable in which
            case the statement is not tagged. This value is ignored for
            statements that are acquired through bind variables (REF CURSOR)
            or implicit results.
        * - ``tagLength``
          - IN
          - The length of the tag parameter, in bytes, or 0 if the tag
            parameter is NULL.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_define(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t pos, dpiVar* var)

    Defines the variable that will be used to fetch rows from the statement. A
    reference to the variable will be retained until the next define is
    performed on the same position or the statement is closed.

        uint32_t size, int sizeIsBytes, dpiObjectType* objType)

    Defines the type of data that will be used to fetch rows from the
    statement. This is intended for use with the function
    :func:`dpiStmt_getQueryValue()`, when the default data type derived from
    the column metadata needs to be overridden by the application. Internally,
    a variable is created with the specified data type and size.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

            strings. Size is either in characters or bytes depending on the
            value of the sizeIsBytes parameter. If the value is in characters,
            internally the value will be multipled by the maximum number of
            bytes for each character and that value used instead when
            determining the necessary buffer size.

        uint32_t* numQueryColumns)

    Executes the statement using the bound values. For queries this makes
    available metadata which can be acquired using the function
    :func:`dpiStmt_getQueryInfo()`. For non-queries, out and in-out variables
    are populated with their values.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

          - A pointer to the number of columns which are being queried, which
            will be populated upon successful execution of the statement. If
            the statement does not refer to a query, the value is set to 0.
            This parameter may also be NULL.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_executeMany(dpiStmt* stmt, dpiExecMode mode, \
        uint32_t numIters)

    Executes the statement the specified number of times using the bound
    values. Each bound variable must have at least this many elements allocated
    or an error is returned.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to be executed. If the
            reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.

            earlier.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_fetch(dpiStmt* stmt, int* found, \
        uint32_t* bufferRowIndex)

    Fetches a single row from the buffers defined for the query. If no row is
    available in the buffers, an internal fetch takes place to populate them,
    if rows are available. The number of rows fetched into the internal
    buffers can be set by calling :func:`dpiStmt_setFetchArraySize()`. If the
    statement does not refer to a query an error is returned. All columns that
    have not been defined prior to this call are implicitly defined using the
    metadata made available when the statement was executed.

    The function :func:`dpiStmt_fetchRows()` should be used instead of this
    function if it is important to control when the internal fetch (and
    round-trip to the database) takes place.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

          - OUT
          - A pointer to the buffer row index which will be populated upon
            successful completion of this function if a row is found. This
            index is used as the array position for getting values from the
            variables that have been defined for the statement.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_fetchRows(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t maxRows, \
        uint32_t* bufferRowIndex, uint32_t* numRowsFetched, int* moreRows)

    Returns the number of rows that are available in the buffers defined for
    the query. If no rows are currently available in the buffers, an internal
    fetch takes place in order to populate them, if rows are available. The
    number of rows fetched into the internal buffers can be set by calling
    :func:`dpiStmt_setFetchArraySize()`. If the statement does not refer to a
    query an error is returned. All columns that have not been defined prior to
    this call are implicitly defined using the metadata made available when the
    statement was executed.

    This function should be used instead of :func:`dpiStmt_fetch()` if it is
    important to control when the internal fetch (and round-trip to the

          - A reference to the statement from which the column value is to be
            retrieved. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is
            returned.
        * - ``pos``
          - IN
          - The position of the column whose value is to be retrieved. The
            first position is 1.
        * - ``nativeTypeNum``
          - OUT
          - A pointer to the native type that is used by the value, which will
            be populated upon successful completion of this function. It will
            be one of the values from the enumeration
            :ref:`dpiNativeTypeNum<dpiNativeTypeNum>`.
        * - ``data``
          - OUT
          - A pointer to a reference to an internally created
            :ref:`dpiData<dpiData>` structure which will be populated upon
            successful completion of this function. The structure contains the
            value of the column at the specified position. Note that any
            references to LOBs, statements, objects, and rowids are owned by
            the statement. If you wish to retain these values independently of
            the statement, a reference must be added by calling one of
            :func:`dpiLob_addRef()`, :func:`dpiStmt_addRef()`,
            :func:`dpiObject_addRef()` or :func:`dpiRowid_addRef()`.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_getRowCount(dpiStmt* stmt, uint64_t* count)

    Returns the number of rows affected by the last DML statement that was
    executed, the number of rows currently fetched from a query, or the number
    of successful executions of a PL/SQL block. In all other cases 0 is
    returned.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement from which the row count is to be

          - OUT
          - A pointer to the row count which will be populated upon successful
            completion of the function.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_getRowCounts(dpiStmt* stmt, \
        uint32_t* numRowCounts, uint64_t** rowCounts)

    Returns an array of row counts affected by the last invocation of
    :func:`dpiStmt_executeMany()` with the array DML rowcounts mode enabled.
    This feature is only available if both client and server are at 12.1.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement from which the row counts are to be
            retrieved. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is
            returned.
        * - ``numRowCounts``
          - OUT
          - A pointer to the size of the rowCounts array which is being
            returned. It is populated upon successful completion of the
            function.
        * - ``rowCounts``
          - OUT
          - A pointer to an array of row counts which is populated upon
            successful completion of the function. This array should be
            considered read-only.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_getSubscrQueryId(dpiStmt* stmt, uint64_t* queryId)

    Returns the id of the query that was just registered on the subscription
    by calling :func:`dpiStmt_execute()` on a statement prepared by calling
    :func:`dpiSubscr_prepareStmt()`.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement from which the query id should be
            retrieved. This statement should have been prepared using the
            function :func:`dpiSubscr_prepareStmt()`. If the reference is NULL
            or invalid an error is returned.
        * - ``queryId``
          - OUT
          - A pointer to the query id, which is filled in upon successful
            completion of the function.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_release(dpiStmt* stmt)

    Releases a reference to the statement. A count of the references to the
    statement is maintained and when this count reaches zero, the memory
    associated with the statement is freed and the statement is closed if that
    has not already taken place using the function :func:`dpiStmt_close()`.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - The statement from which a reference is to be released. If the
            reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_scroll(dpiStmt* stmt, dpiFetchMode mode, \
        int32_t offset, int32_t rowCountOffset)

    Scrolls the statement to the position in the cursor specified by the mode
    and offset.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement which is to be scrolled to a
            particular row position. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an
            error is returned.
        * - ``mode``
          - IN
          - One of the values from the enumeration
            :ref:`dpiFetchMode<dpiFetchMode>`.
        * - ``offset``
          - IN
          - A value which is used with the mode in order to determine the row
            position in the cursor.
        * - ``rowCountOffset``
          - IN
          - An offset to the row count used when calculating the desired row
            to be fetched. This is needed when a client has fetched multiple
            rows but has not yet consumed all of them. If this is not being
            done by the client, the value 0 is appropriate.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_setFetchArraySize(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t arraySize)

    Sets the array size used for performing fetches. All variables defined for
    fetching must have this many (or more) elements allocated for them. The
    higher this value is the less network round trips are required to fetch
    rows from the database but more memory is also required. A value of zero
    will reset the array size to the default value of
    DPI_DEFAULT_FETCH_ARRAY_SIZE.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement on which the fetch array size is to
            be set. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``arraySize``
          - IN
          - The number of rows which should be fetched each time more rows
            need to be fetched from the database.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_setOciAttr(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t attribute, \
        void* value, uint32_t valueLength)

    Sets the value of an OCI attribute. This is intended solely for testing
    attributes that are not otherwise supported by ODPI-C and should not be
    used for any other purpose. Use only as directed by Oracle.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement on which the OCI attribute is to be
            set. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an error is returned.
        * - ``attribute``
          - IN
          - The attribute to set.
        * - ``value``
          - IN
          - A pointer to the data which is to be set.
        * - ``valueLength``
          - IN
          - The length of the data which is to be set.

.. function:: int dpiStmt_setPrefetchRows(dpiStmt* stmt, uint32_t numRows)

    Sets the number of rows that will be prefetched by the Oracle Client
    library when a query is executed. The default value is
    `DPI_DEFAULT_PREFETCH_ROWS` (2). Increasing this value may reduce the
    number of round-trips to the database that are required in order to
    fetch rows, but at the cost of increasing memory requirements. Setting this
    value to 0 will disable prefetch completely, which may be useful when
    the timing for fetching rows must be controlled by the caller.

    The current value can be determined by calling
    :func:`dpiStmt_getPrefetchRows()`.

    The function returns DPI_SUCCESS for success and DPI_FAILURE for failure.

    .. parameters-table::

        * - ``stmt``
          - IN
          - A reference to the statement on which the number of rows to
            prefetch is to be set. If the reference is NULL or invalid, an
            error is returned.
        * - ``numRows``
          - OUT
          - The number of rows to prefetch.
