## Detailed Description

Query or command result set.

This behaves as a container (as defined by the C++ standard library) and provides random access const iterators to iterate over its tuples. A tuple can also be accessed by indexing a result R by the tuple's zero-based number:

            for (result::size_type i=0; i < R.size(); ++i) Process(R[i]);

Result sets in libpqxx are lightweight, reference-counted wrapper objects (following the Proxy design pattern) that are small and cheap to copy. Think of a result object as a "smart pointer" to an underlying result set.

Warning:
  The result set that a result object points to is not thread-safe. If you copy a result object, it still refers to the same underlying result set. So never copy, destroy, query, or otherwise access a result while another thread may be copying, destroying, querying, or otherwise accessing the same result set--even if it is doing so through a different result object!

Number of columns in result.

pqxx::result::tuple::size_type pqxx::result::column_number | ( | const char | ColName[] | ) | const

Number of given column (throws exception if it doesn't exist).

tuple::size_type pqxx::result::column_number | ( | const PGSTD::string & | Name | ) | const

Number of given column (throws exception if it doesn't exist).

const char * pqxx::result::column_name | ( | tuple::size_type | Number | ) | const

Name of column with this number (throws exception if it doesn't exist).

pqxx::oid pqxx::result::column_type | ( | tuple::size_type | ColNum | ) | const

Type of given column.

oid pqxx::result::column_type | ( | int | ColNum | ) | const

Type of given column.

Type of given column.

oid pqxx::result::column_type | ( | const char | ColName[] | ) | const

Type of given column.

oid pqxx::result::column_table | ( | tuple::size_type | ColNum | ) | const

What table did this column come from? Requires PostgreSQL 7.4 C API.

Only defined if the libpqxx library was compiled against a libpq version that supports the `PQftable` function.

If you get a link error saying this function is undefined, that must be because libpqxx was compiled against an older version of libpq. The `PQftable` function first became available in PostgreSQL 7.4.

oid pqxx::result::column_table | ( | int | ColNum | ) | const

What table did this column come from? Requires PostgreSQL 7.4 C API.

Only defined if the libpqxx library was compiled against a libpq version that supports the `PQftable` function.

If you get a link error saying this function is undefined, that must be because libpqxx was compiled against an older version of libpq. The `PQftable` function first became available in PostgreSQL 7.4.

oid pqxx::result::column_table | ( | const PGSTD::string & | ColName | ) | const

const string & pqxx::result::query | ( |  | ) | const throw ()

Query that produced this result, if available (empty string otherwise).

pqxx::oid pqxx::result::inserted_oid | ( |  | ) | const

If command was `INSERT` of 1 row, return oid of inserted row.

Returns:
  Identifier of inserted row if exactly one row was inserted, or oid_none otherwise.

If command was `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE:` number of affected rows.

Returns:
  Number of affected rows if last command was `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE`; zero for all other commands.
