MimerGetString8

Gets character data from a result set or an output parameter into a multi byte character string, where the character set is UTF-8.

Only the SQL data types CHARACTER, CHARACTER VARYING, NATIONAL CHARACTER and NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING may be retrieved using this function.

Parameters

int32_t MimerGetString8 (

            MimerStatement statementhandle,

            int16_t paramno_colno,

            char *dest,

            size_t dest_maxsiz)

statementhandle

in

A handle returned by MimerBeginStatement[C|8], identifying a statement that have been executed.

paramno_colno

in

The parameter number or column number to get data from. First parameter/column is 1.

dest

out

A memory location where to place UTF-8 character data. The character data is null terminated.

If this is a null pointer, no data will be returned, but the length is still returned by the routine.

dest_maxsiz

in

The length of the dest memory location in bytes.

Returns

A negative value indicating an error, or a zero or positive value indicating the number of bytes in the column (not counting the terminating zero).

Return value

Description

>= 0

Success.

The number of characters to be returned. (If > dest_maxlen, output data was truncated.)

MIMER_CAST_VIOLATION

If the output parameter or column was not of the CHARACTER, CHARACTER VARYING, NATIONAL CHARACTER or NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING data types.

MIMER_HANDLE_INVALID

The statementhandle parameter was not recognized as a handle.

MIMER_NONEXISTENT_COLUMN_PARAMETER

The supplied column or parameter number did not exist.

MIMER_PARAMETER_NOT_OUTPUT

The referenced parameter is not an output or input/output parameter, which is required when calling a data output routine.

MIMER_SEQUENCE_ERROR

If the statement cursor is not open, or the current row is before the first row of the result set, or after the last row of the result set.

MIMER_SQL_NULL_VALUE

The column or output parameter contained the SQL null value.

(This can also be detected using the MimerIsNull routine.)

Notes
