int mysql_next_result(MYSQL *mysql)

Description

This function is used when you execute multiple statements specified as a single statement string, or when you execute CALL statements, which can return multiple result sets.

If more statement results exist, mysql_next_result() reads the next statement result and returns the status back to the application.

Before calling mysql_next_result(), you must call mysql_free_result() for the preceding statement if it is a query that returned a result set.

After calling mysql_next_result() the state of the connection is as if you had called mysql_real_query() or mysql_query() for the next statement. This means that you can call mysql_store_result(), mysql_warning_count(), mysql_affected_rows(), and so forth.

If mysql_next_result() returns an error, no other statements are executed and there are no more results to fetch.

If your program executes stored procedures with the CALL SQL statement, you must set the CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS flag explicitly, or implicitly by setting CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS when you call mysql_real_connect(). This is because each CALL returns a result to indicate the call status, in addition to any results sets that might be returned by statements executed within the procedure. In addition, because CALL can return multiple results, you should process those results using a loop that calls mysql_next_result() to determine whether there are more results.

For an example that shows how to use mysql_next_result(), see Section 20.8.9, “C API Handling of Multiple Statement Execution”.
