Ns_Db1Row

Overview

Execute an SQL statement that must return one row

Syntax

    Ns_Set *Ns_Db1Row(
    	Ns_DbHandle *handle,
    	char        *sql
    );

Description

The Ns_Db1Row function calls the Ns_Db0or1Row function with the given SQL statement. If Ns_Db0or1Row returns 1 row, Ns_Db1Row returns the newly allocated Ns_Set for the row. You must eventually free this row using Ns_SetFree. If NsDb0or1Row returns zero rows, Ns_Db1Row returns NULL.

If the SQL statement returns zero rows or a database error has occurred, Ns_Db1Row returns NULL. Detailed error messages may have accumulated in an internal buffer in the Ns_DbHandle. These errors can be conveyed back to the user through the Ns_DbReturnError function.

Example

    Ns_Set *row;
    Ns_DbHandle *handle;
    
    if ((handle = Ns_DbPoolGetHandle("aPoolName")) != NULL) {
    	row = Ns_Db1Row(handle, "select aName from aTable");
    	if (row != NULL) {
    		char *value;
    		value = Ns_SetGet(row, "aName");
    		/* use `value' here */
    		Ns_SetFree(row);
    	}
    }
