|
<p><b>Details:</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These routines return information about a single column of the current
|
|
result row of a query. In every case the first argument is a pointer
|
|
to the <a href="../c3ref/stmt.html">prepared statement</a> that is being evaluated (the <a href="../c3ref/stmt.html">sqlite3_stmt*</a>
|
|
that was returned from <a href="../c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a> or one of its variants)
|
|
and the second argument is the index of the column for which information
|
|
should be returned. The leftmost column of the result set has the index 0.
|
|
The number of columns in the result can be determined using
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/column_count.html">sqlite3_column_count()</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the SQL statement does not currently point to a valid row, or if the
|
|
column index is out of range, the result is undefined.
|
|
These routines may only be called when the most recent call to
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> has returned <a href="../rescode.html#row">SQLITE_ROW</a> and neither
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/reset.html">sqlite3_reset()</a> nor <a href="../c3ref/finalize.html">sqlite3_finalize()</a> have been called subsequently.
|
|
If any of these routines are called after <a href="../c3ref/reset.html">sqlite3_reset()</a> or
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/finalize.html">sqlite3_finalize()</a> or after <a href="../c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> has returned
|
|
something other than <a href="../rescode.html#row">SQLITE_ROW</a>, the results are undefined.
|
|
If <a href="../c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> or <a href="../c3ref/reset.html">sqlite3_reset()</a> or <a href="../c3ref/finalize.html">sqlite3_finalize()</a>
|
|
are called from a different thread while any of these routines
|
|
are pending, then the results are undefined.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first six interfaces (_blob, _double, _int, _int64, _text, and _text16)
|
|
each return the value of a result column in a specific data format. If
|
|
the result column is not initially in the requested format (for example,
|
|
if the query returns an integer but the sqlite3_column_text() interface
|
|
is used to extract the value) then an automatic type conversion is performed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The sqlite3_column_type() routine returns the
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">datatype code</a> for the initial data type
|
|
of the result column. The returned value is one of <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_INTEGER</a>,
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_FLOAT</a>, <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_TEXT</a>, <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_BLOB</a>, or <a href="../c3ref/c_blob.html">SQLITE_NULL</a>.
|
|
The return value of sqlite3_column_type() can be used to decide which
|
|
of the first six interface should be used to extract the column value.
|
|
The value returned by sqlite3_column_type() is only meaningful if no
|
|
automatic type conversions have occurred for the value in question.
|
|
After a type conversion, the result of calling sqlite3_column_type()
|
|
is undefined, though harmless. Future
|
|
versions of SQLite may change the behavior of sqlite3_column_type()
|
|
following a type conversion.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the result is a BLOB or a TEXT string, then the sqlite3_column_bytes()
|
|
or sqlite3_column_bytes16() interfaces can be used to determine the size
|
|
of that BLOB or string.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the result is a BLOB or UTF-8 string then the sqlite3_column_bytes()
|
|
routine returns the number of bytes in that BLOB or string.
|
|
If the result is a UTF-16 string, then sqlite3_column_bytes() converts
|
|
the string to UTF-8 and then returns the number of bytes.
|
|
If the result is a numeric value then sqlite3_column_bytes() uses
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/mprintf.html">sqlite3_snprintf()</a> to convert that value to a UTF-8 string and returns
|
|
the number of bytes in that string.
|
|
If the result is NULL, then sqlite3_column_bytes() returns zero.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the result is a BLOB or UTF-16 string then the sqlite3_column_bytes16()
|
|
routine returns the number of bytes in that BLOB or string.
|
|
If the result is a UTF-8 string, then sqlite3_column_bytes16() converts
|
|
the string to UTF-16 and then returns the number of bytes.
|
|
If the result is a numeric value then sqlite3_column_bytes16() uses
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/mprintf.html">sqlite3_snprintf()</a> to convert that value to a UTF-16 string and returns
|
|
the number of bytes in that string.
|
|
If the result is NULL, then sqlite3_column_bytes16() returns zero.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The values returned by <a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_bytes()</a> and
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_bytes16()</a> do not include the zero terminators at the end
|
|
of the string. For clarity: the values returned by
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_bytes()</a> and <a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_bytes16()</a> are the number of
|
|
bytes in the string, not the number of characters.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Strings returned by sqlite3_column_text() and sqlite3_column_text16(),
|
|
even empty strings, are always zero-terminated. The return
|
|
value from sqlite3_column_blob() for a zero-length BLOB is a NULL pointer.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Warning:</b> The object returned by <a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_value()</a> is an
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/value.html">unprotected sqlite3_value</a> object. In a multithreaded environment,
|
|
an unprotected sqlite3_value object may only be used safely with
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/bind_blob.html">sqlite3_bind_value()</a> and <a href="../c3ref/result_blob.html">sqlite3_result_value()</a>.
|
|
If the <a href="../c3ref/value.html">unprotected sqlite3_value</a> object returned by
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_value()</a> is used in any other way, including calls
|
|
to routines like <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_int()</a>, <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_text()</a>,
|
|
or <a href="../c3ref/value_blob.html">sqlite3_value_bytes()</a>, the behavior is not threadsafe.
|
|
Hence, the sqlite3_column_value() interface
|
|
is normally only useful within the implementation of
|
|
<a href="../appfunc.html">application-defined SQL functions</a> or <a href="../vtab.html">virtual tables</a>, not within
|
|
top-level application code.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The these routines may attempt to convert the datatype of the result.
|
|
For example, if the internal representation is FLOAT and a text result
|
|
is requested, <a href="../c3ref/mprintf.html">sqlite3_snprintf()</a> is used internally to perform the
|
|
conversion automatically. The following table details the conversions
|
|
that are applied:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><blockquote>
|
|
<table border="1">
|
|
<tr><th> Internal<br>Type <th> Requested<br>Type <th> Conversion</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tr><td> NULL <td> INTEGER <td> Result is 0
|
|
<tr><td> NULL <td> FLOAT <td> Result is 0.0
|
|
<tr><td> NULL <td> TEXT <td> Result is a NULL pointer
|
|
<tr><td> NULL <td> BLOB <td> Result is a NULL pointer
|
|

|
|
<tr><td> BLOB <td> TEXT <td> Add a zero terminator if needed

</blockquote></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that when type conversions occur, pointers returned by prior
|
|
calls to sqlite3_column_blob(), sqlite3_column_text(), and/or
|
|
sqlite3_column_text16() may be invalidated.
|
|
Type conversions and pointer invalidations might occur
|
|
in the following cases:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul>
|
|
<li> The initial content is a BLOB and sqlite3_column_text() or
|
|
sqlite3_column_text16() is called. A zero-terminator might
|
|
need to be added to the string.</li>
|
|
<li> The initial content is UTF-8 text and sqlite3_column_bytes16() or
|
|
sqlite3_column_text16() is called. The content must be converted
|
|
to UTF-16.</li>
|
|
<li> The initial content is UTF-16 text and sqlite3_column_bytes() or
|
|
sqlite3_column_text() is called. The content must be converted
|
|
to UTF-8.</li>
|
|
</ul></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Conversions between UTF-16be and UTF-16le are always done in place and do
|
|
not invalidate a prior pointer, though of course the content of the buffer
|
|
that the prior pointer references will have been modified. Other kinds
|
|
of conversion are done in place when it is possible, but sometimes they
|
|
are not possible and in those cases prior pointers are invalidated.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The safest policy is to invoke these routines
|
|
in one of the following ways:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul>
|
|
<li>sqlite3_column_text() followed by sqlite3_column_bytes()</li>
|
|
<li>sqlite3_column_blob() followed by sqlite3_column_bytes()</li>
|
|
<li>sqlite3_column_text16() followed by sqlite3_column_bytes16()</li>
|
|
</ul></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In other words, you should call sqlite3_column_text(),
|
|
sqlite3_column_blob(), or sqlite3_column_text16() first to force the result
|
|
into the desired format, then invoke sqlite3_column_bytes() or
|
|
sqlite3_column_bytes16() to find the size of the result. Do not mix calls
|
|
to sqlite3_column_text() or sqlite3_column_blob() with calls to
|
|
sqlite3_column_bytes16(), and do not mix calls to sqlite3_column_text16()
|
|
with calls to sqlite3_column_bytes().</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The pointers returned are valid until a type conversion occurs as
|
|
described above, or until <a href="../c3ref/step.html">sqlite3_step()</a> or <a href="../c3ref/reset.html">sqlite3_reset()</a> or
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/finalize.html">sqlite3_finalize()</a> is called. The memory space used to hold strings
|
|
and BLOBs is freed automatically. Do not pass the pointers returned
|
|
from <a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_blob()</a>, <a href="../c3ref/column_blob.html">sqlite3_column_text()</a>, etc. into
|
|
<a href="../c3ref/free.html">sqlite3_free()</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As long as the input parameters are correct, these routines will only
|
|
fail if an out-of-memory error occurs during a format conversion.
|
|
Only the following subset of interfaces are subject to out-of-memory
|
|
errors:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><ul>
|
|
<li> sqlite3_column_blob()
|
|
<li> sqlite3_column_text()
|
|
<li> sqlite3_column_text16()
|
|
<li> sqlite3_column_bytes()
|
|
<li> sqlite3_column_bytes16()
|
|
</ul></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If an out-of-memory error occurs, then the return value from these
|
|
routines is the same as if the column had contained an SQL NULL value.
|
|
Valid SQL NULL returns can be distinguished from out-of-memory errors
|
|
by invoking the <a href="../c3ref/errcode.html">sqlite3_errcode()</a> immediately after the suspect
|
|
return value is obtained and before any
|
|
other SQLite interface is called on the same <a href="../c3ref/sqlite3.html">database connection</a>.
