Member Function Documentation

pqxx::result pqxx::prepare::invocation::exec (  )  const

Execute!

pqxx::prepare::invocation & pqxx::prepare::invocation::operator() (  ) 

Pass null parameter.

template<typename T>
invocation& pqxx::prepare::invocation::operator() ( const T &  v,
bool  nonnull = true 
)

Pass parameter value.

Parameters:
v parameter value (will be represented as a string internally)
nonnull replaces value with null if set to false

template<typename T>
invocation& pqxx::prepare::invocation::operator() ( T *  v,
bool  nonnull = true 
)

Pass C-style parameter string, or null if pointer is null.

This version is for passing C-style strings; it's a template, so any pointer type that to_string accepts will do.

Warning:
Be very careful with the special constant NULL! Since NULL in C++ is an int, not a pointer, a value of NULL would cause the wrong version of this template to be invoked. To all intents and purposes it would look like you were trying to pass a regular zero as an integer value, instead of a null string. This is not a problem with pointer variables that may happen to be NULL, since in that case the value's type is not subject to any confusion. So if you know at compile time that you want to pass a null value, use the zero-argument version of this operator; if you don't want to do that, at least add a second argument of false to make clear that you want a null, not a zero.
Parameters:
v parameter value (will be represented as a C++ string internally)
nonnull replaces value with null if set to false

invocation& pqxx::prepare::invocation::operator() ( const char *  v,
bool  nonnull = true 
)

Pass C-style string parameter, or null if pointer is null.

This duplicates the pointer-to-template-argument-type version of the operator, but helps compilers with less advanced template implementations disambiguate calls where C-style strings are passed.
