Executing a Command

---

The simplest way to execute a statement is to execute it directly using the SQLExecDirect function.

Each INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statement returns the number of rows affected by the operation, the function SQLRowCount returns this count.

For example:

 SQLINTEGER rowcount;
 . . .
 
 /* Allocate statement handle */
 SQLAllocHandle( SQL_HANDLE_STMT, hdbc, &hstmt );
 SQLExecDirect( hstmt,
                "UPDATE mimer_store.currencies \
                    SET exchange_rate = exchange_rate * 1.05 \
                    WHERE code = 'USD'", SQL_NTS );
 
 SQLRowCount( hstmt, &rowcount );
 printf( "%d rows have been updated\n", rowcount );
