-autoExecute is designed to provide a robust simple interface to record updating and insertion. As such, it contains multiple layers of table, column and data validation to ensure data integrity prior to record insertion or update. Consequently, there may be some performance degradation when used for large numbers of record updates. Consider using [[reference:execute|execute()]] for that purpose instead. +

 ===== Description ===== ===== Description =====
-The function ''autoExecute()'' can automatically generate and execute INSERT and UPDATE statements on a given table with this function, and is a wrapper for [[reference:GetInsertSQL|GetInsertSQL()]] and [[reference:GetUpdateSQL|GetUpdateSQL()]] 
  
-AutoExecute() inserts or updates `$table` given an array of `$arrFields`, where the keys are the field names and the array values are the field values to store. Note that there is some overhead because the table is first queried to extract key information before the SQL is generated. An INSERT or UPDATE is generated based on `$mode` (see below). +The ''autoExecute()'' function can automatically generate and execute INSERT and UPDATE statements on a given table. It is a wrapper for [[v5:reference:connection:getinsertsql|getInsertSQL()]] and [[v5:reference:connection:getupdatesql|getUpdateSQL()]] 
 + 
 +autoExecute() inserts or updates **$table** given an array of **$arrFields**, where the keys are the field names and the array values are the field values to store. An INSERT or UPDATE is generated based on **$mode** (see below).  
 + 
 +Until 5.22, the function returned a boolean value, with //true// indicating success and //false// that an error occurred. Starting with 5.23.0((https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/issues/1213)), success returns an //ADORecordSet_empty// object, to be consistent with other ADOdb insert / update functions. Backwards-compatibility is guaranteed, because ADORecordSet_empty == true.
