ResultSet Class

A ResultSet provides access to a table of data generated by executing a Statement. Table rows are retrieved in sequence. Within a row, column values can be accessed in any order.

A ResultSet maintains a cursor pointing to its current row of data. Initially the cursor is positioned before the first row. The next method moves the cursor to the next row.

The getxxx() methods retrieve column values for the current row. You can retrieve values using the index number of the column. Columns are numbered beginning at 1. For the getxxx() methods, OCCI attempts to convert the underlying data to the specified C++ type and returns a C++ value. SQL types are mapped to C++ types with the ResultSet::getxxx() methods.

The number, types and properties of a ResultSet's columns are provided by the MetaData object returned by the getColumnListMetaData() method.

enum Status{   END_OF_FETCH = 0,   DATA_AVAILABLE,   STREAM_DATA_AVAILABLE};

The result set
colIndex
Column index, first column is 1, second is 2,...

The reference to the vector (OUT parameter).

Returns the column in the current position as a vector of REFs. The column should be a collection type (varray or nested table) of REFs. It is recommend to use this function instead of specialized method getVector() for Ref<T>.


Syntax
void getVectorOfRefs(

Parameter Description
paramIndex
Parameter index, first parameter is 1, second is 2,...


next()

A ResultSet is initially positioned before its first row; the first call to next makes the first row the current row; the second call makes the second row the current row, and so on. If a read-able stream from the previous row is open, it is implicitly closed. The ResultSet's warning chain is cleared when a new row is read.

For non-streamed mode, next() always returns RESULT_SET_AVAILABLE or END_OF_DATA. Data is available for getxxx()method when the RESULT_SET_REMOVE_AVAILABLE status is returned. When this version of next() is used, array fetches are done for data being fetched with the setDataBuffer() interface. This means that getxxx() methods should not be called. The numRows amount of data for each column would materialize in the buffers specified with the setDataBuffer() interface. With array fetches, stream input is allowed, so getxxxStream() methods can also be called, once for each column.

Returns one of following:


Syntax
Status next(
   unsigned int numRows =1);
Parameter Description
numRows
Number of rows to fetch for array fetches.

Column index, first column is 1, second is 2,...
size
The amount of data to be read as a binary stream.

setDatebaseNCHARParam()

If the parameter is going to be retrieved from a column that contains data in the database's NCHAR character set, then OCCI must be informed by passing a TRUE value. A FALSE can be passed to restore the default.


Syntax
void setDatabaseNCHARParam(
   unsigned int paramIndex, 
   bool isNCHAR);
Parameter Description
paramIndex
Parameter index, first parameter is 1, second is 2,...
isNCHAR
TRUE or FALSE.


setDataBuffer()

Specify a data buffer where data would be fetched. The buffer parameter is a pointer to a user allocated data buffer. The current length of data must be specified in the length parameter. The amount of data should not exceed the size parameter. Finally, type is the data type of the data. Only non OCCI and non C++ specific types can be used, such as STL string. OCCI classes like Bytes and Date cannot be used.

If setDataBuffer() is used to fetch data for array fetches, it should be called only once for each result set. Data for each row is assumed to be at buffer (i- 1)location, where i is the row number. Similarly, the length of the data would be assumed to be at (length+(i-1)).


Syntax
void setDataBuffer(
   unsigned int colIndex,
   void *buffer,
   Type type,
   sb4 size = 0,
   ub2 *length = NULL,
   sb2 *ind = NULL,
   ub2 *rc = NULL);
