PQsendPrepare

Function

PQsendPrepare is used to send a request to create a prepared statement with given parameters, without waiting for completion.

Prototype

int PQsendPrepare(PGconn *conn,
                  const char *stmtName,
                  const char *query,
                  int nParams,
                  const Oid *paramTypes);

Parameter

**Table 1** PQsendPrepare parameters
Keyword	Parameter Description
conn	Points to the object pointer that contains the connection information.
stmtName	Prepared statement to be executed.
query	Query string to be executed.
nParams	Parameter quantity.
paramTypes	Array of the parameter type.

Return Value

int indicates the execution result. 1 indicates successful execution and 0 indicates an execution failure. The failure cause is stored in conn->errorMessage.

Precautions

PQsendPrepare is an asynchronous version of PQprepare. If it can dispatch a request, 1 is returned. Otherwise, 0 is returned. After a successful calling of PQsendPrepare, call PQgetResult to check whether the server successfully created the prepared statement. PQsendPrepare parameters are handled in the same way as PQprepare parameters. Like PQprepare, PQsendPrepare cannot work on connections using protocol v2.0.
