	16
	Salary
	11
	3
	32768

MySQL_Result2() Function

edit

Instead of using MySQL_Result() to get the result data without columns names, we can use the MySQL_Result2() to get all of the column names then the query result in one list.

Syntax: 

	MySQL_Result2(MySQL Handle) ---> List (query result starts with columns names)

Example: 

	con = mysql_init()

	mysql_close(con)

Output: 

	Connect to database
	Execute Query
	Print Result
	Id
	Name
	Salary
	1
	Mahmoud
	15000
	2
	Samir

Syntax: 

	MySQL_Escape_String(MySQL Handle, cString) ---> String after processing

Save Image inside the database

edit

Example: 

	See "Read file" + nl
	cFile = read("tests\mahmoud.jpg")
	con = mysql_init()
	See "Connect to database..." + nl
	mysql_connect(con, "localhost", "root", "root","mahdb")
	See "Escape string..." + nl
	cFile = mysql_escape_string(con,cFile)
	stmt = "INSERT INTO photo(id, data) VALUES(1, '" + cFile + "')"
	See "Insert data..." + nl
	mysql_query(con,stmt)
	See "Close database..." + nl
	mysql_close(con)

Output: 

	Read file
	Connect to database...
	Escape string...
	Insert data...
	Close database...

edit

Example: 

	con = mysql_init()
	See "Connect to database..." + nl
	mysql_connect(con, "localhost", "root", "root","mahdb")
	See "Read data from database..." + nl
	mysql_query(con,"SELECT data FROM photo WHERE id=1")
	See "Write new file" + nl
	result = mysql_result(con)
	write("tests\mahmoud2.jpg",result[1][1])
	See "Close database..." + nl
	mysql_close(con)

Output: 

	Connect to database...

			system_error(con) ok

		if mysql_query(con, "INSERT INTO Employee2 VALUES(3,'Fayed',17000)") 
			system_error(con) ok

		mysql_autocommit(con,False)
		mysql_query(con, "INSERT INTO Employee2 VALUES(4,'Ahmed',5000)")
		mysql_query(con, "INSERT INTO Employee2 VALUES(5,'Ibrahim',50000)")
		mysql_query(con, "INSERT INTO Employee2 VALUES(6,'Mohammed',50000)")
