sqlExecute: Executes an already prepared query

Description

Executes a parameterized query.

Optionally (fetch=TRUE) fetches results using sqlGetResults.

Optionally (query=NULL) uses query already prepared by sqlPrepare.

Usage

sqlExecute(channel, query = NULL, data = NULL, fetch = FALSE,
  errors = TRUE, rows_at_time = attr(channel, "rows_at_time"), ...)

Arguments

channel

ODBC connection obtained by odbcConnect

query

a query string (NULL if query already prepared using sqlPrepare)

data

data to pass to sqlExecute (as data.frame)

fetch

whether to automatically fetch results (if data provided)

errors

whether to display errors

rows_at_time

number of rows to fetch at one time - see details of sqlQuery

...

parameters to pass to sqlGetResults (if fetch=TRUE)

Value

• see datails

Details

Return value depends on the combination of parameters:

• if there were errors during query preparation or execution or fetching results return value depends on errors parameter - if errors=TRUE error is thrown, otherwise -1 will be returned
• if fetch=FALSE and there were no errors invisible(1) will be returned
• if fetch=TRUE and there were no errors a data.frame with results will be returned

Examples

conn = odbcConnect('MyDataSource')

  # prepare, execute and fetch results separatly
  sqlPrepare(conn, "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE column = ?")
  sqlExecute(conn, NULL, 'myValue')
  sqlGetResults(conn)

  # prepare and execute at one time, fetch results separately
  sqlExecute(conn, "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE column = ?", 'myValue')
  sqlGetResults(conn)

  # prepare, execute and fetch at one time
  sqlExecute(conn, "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE column = ?", 'myValue', TRUE)

  # prepare, execute and fetch at one time, pass additional parameters to sqlFetch()
  sqlExecute(
    conn,
    "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE column = ?",
    'myValue',
    TRUE,
    stringsAsFactors=FALSE
  )
