Andy:



Right, prepare the SQL statement and feed it normally.

If correctly implemented, your user-defined Parameter class should handle
escaping quotes during SQL statement assembly.

Paul,

I had considered this option ... but wasn't quite sure of the execution,
other than going into the libtds layer. Is that what you mean, or did you
mean that I could assemble the statement from the parameters and then feed
it to db-lib as a regular sql statement? My concern with the latter is that,
when I have used prepared statements on other platforms, one reason has been
the ability to feed an entire TEXT field into a parameter and not have to
worry about escaping any quote marks inside the string.

If you are programming in, say C++, it is fairly straightforward to write a
function with this capability.

Have the function take as parameters the tablename, along with vector of
pointers to a user-defined class Parameter.

If each Parameter contains type information, along with the value,
formatting & executing the query string is a snap.





Best,



Paul

Subject: [freetds] prepared statements in db-lib



I have been playing with db-lib, and find it to be a very nice

interface. But there is one thing that I seem to be missing, and can't

figure out -- does it not have any way to do a "prepared statement" --

IOW, a statement with parameters that are filled in before execution --

other than as an actual stored procedure?



Here's what I want to be able to do, in a mixture of sql and

pseudo-code:



sql_statement: INSERT INTO test_tbl VALUES ( ?, ?, ? );

set_param(1, 52)

set_param(2, 'Testing')

set_param(3, 123.456)

execute prepared statement



If db-lib cannot do this, can ct-lib? Or do I have to go down to the

libtds layer?



Many thanks ...
