execute

syntax
 mixed execute {
       mixed $sql
       optional string[] $bindvars
       }

Description

This method executes any provided SQL statement. If the SQL statement should return a recordset, e.g. SELECT statements, it returns a handle to a recordset or false if the statement execution fails. If the statement does not return a recordset, such as in INSERT or UPDATE statement, it returns true on success or false on failure.

The presentation of the returned data can be modified by the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE variable, the ADODB_ASSOC_CASE constant and the setFetchMode() function.

Parameters

Parameter 1

The first parameter can be either:

  1. A string containing a complete SQL statement. SELECT * FROM ACT
  2. A string containing an SQL statement with bind variables, SELECT * FROM ACT WHERE empno>:emp, in which case the second parameter is an array containing the bind variables.

Parameter 2

If set, contains an array of bind variables.

Result

If the execution succeeds, it returns a recordset. This recordset can be used by functions such as getUpdateSQL() or fetchRow(). if the execution fails, it returns false. You can access errors using errorMsg().

Usage

/*
 * Connection assumed
*/
$result = $db->execute("SELECT * FROM ACT");
 
or: 
 
$result = $db->execute("SELECT * FROM ACT WHERE empno > :emp",
             array('emp'=>1234)
            );
