Obtain column values
When the mi_next_row() function retrieves a
query row from the cursor, it returns this row in a row structure.
The DataBlade®
API provides
the following functions to get actual column values from a row structure.
| DataBlade API function | Obtaining a column value |
|---|---|
| mi_value() | Obtains a column value, as identified by its column identifier, from a row structure |
| mi_value_by_name() | Obtains a column value, as identified by its column name, from a row structure |
Use mi_value() or mi_value_by_name() to
retrieve columns from the current row as follows:
- Execute the mi_value() or mi_value_by_name() function in a loop that iterates for each desired column value.
- Interpret the value status that these functions return to correctly access the column value.
The final section, Example: The get_data() function, contains sample code that shows one way to use mi_value() to get column values.
