I have MySQL version 5.0.84 on linux slackware 13.0 32-bit. I am working with a relatively new API written in a programming language with a small user base (newlisp). The newlisp API imports a number of C API functions from the system MySQL shared object.
If I were to issue a count(*) query from my monitor interface: Example: mysql> select count(*) from clients; +----------+ | count(*) | +----------+ | 16 | +----------+ If "select count(*) from clients" is issued from the newlisp API, is there a a C API function that would return '16'? I have reviewed http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/c-api-functions.html and haven't been enlightened so far. I believe that I could parse the results as a string, but if I could access count(*) as a C function, it would be more efficient. I have a background in C. thanks -- Tim tim at johnsons-web.com or akwebsoft.com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
