<p>
Any SQL command in <span class="application">Libgda</span> must be converted to a <a class="link" href="GdaStatement.html" title="GdaStatement">GdaStatement</a> object
which is then executed; if the statement defines some variable (place holders), then variables binding
(assigning values to variables) is done at execution time. Each database provider (database
<span class="emphasis"><em>driver</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>adapter</em></span>) can implement its own parser to
be able to parse its specific SQL dialect. Except for binding variables, and for reusability, the
<a class="link" href="GdaStatement.html" title="GdaStatement">GdaStatement</a> object guarantees that it contains only one SQL statement
(it's not possible for it to contain several ones separated by a semicolon).
</p>
<p>
Parsing an SQL statement into a <a class="link" href="GdaStatement.html" title="GdaStatement">GdaStatement</a> object is the job of an
SqlParser.
</p>
<p>
However when one only wants to run a simple SQL statement, <span class="application">Libgda</span> provides the
gda_connection_statement_execute_select_command() function which does
everything in one step. The following codes illustrates parsing and executing a SELECT statement:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
GdaSqlParser *parser;
GdaStatement *stmt;
GError *error = NULL;
parser = gda_connection_create_parser (cnc);
if (!parser) {
/* the database provider used by cnc does not implement its own parser,
* let's use a generic one */
parser = gda_sql_parser_new ();
stmt = gda_sql_parser_parse_string (parser, "SELECT * FROM customers", NULL, &error);
g_object_unref (parser);
if (!stmt) {
/* there was an error while parsing */
}
else {
GdaDataModel *model;
model = gda_connection_statement_execute_select (cnc, stmt, NULL, &error);
if (model) {
/* dump to results to STDOUT */
gda_data_model_dump (model, stdout);
g_object_unref (model);
}
else {
/* there was an error while executing the statement */
}
}
g_object_unref (stmt);
