mysql_pquery

Description:

Sends a query which will be executed in another thread concurrently and calls the callback (if there is one) when the execution is finished.


Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png

Notes

  • If you are not sure which query native to use, use mysql_tquery().
  • The difference between this native and mysql_tquery() is, that multiple queries sent with this native at once can be processed in parallel, thus it __may__ be faster __in some cases__, depending on the connection pool size. There may be also cases where executing queries in parallel will result in worse performance than with mysql_tquery().
  • The size of the connection pool can be specified through mysql_set_option() with the POOL_SIZE parameter. Each connection in the pool resembles a thread.


Image:32px-Circle-style-warning.png

Important
Notes

  • Queries sent with this native may be executed out of order.
  • Queries sent with this native don't support transactions.


Parameters:
(MySQL:handle, const query[], const callback[] = "", const format[] = "", {Float,_}:...)
MySQL:handleThe connection handle this will be processed on.
const query[]The query to be executed.
const callback[]The result callback to call after the query successfully executed (optional).
const format[]The format specifier string for the result callback (optional).
{Float,_}:...Indefinite number of arguments (optional).


Return Values:

1 if the query was successfully queued for execution, 0 otherwise.


Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png

Note

The callback must be a public function. That means it has to be forwarded.


Format specifiers

Specifier Meaning
d/i integer number
s string
f floating point number
b boolean
a array (has to be followed by 'd'/'i' with the array length; the array length is also passed as a callback argument)

	GetPlayerName(playerid, pname, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
 
	mysql_format(MySQL, query, sizeof(query), "SELECT * FROM `players` WHERE `name` LIKE '%e'", pname);
	mysql_pquery(MySQL, query, "OnPlayerDataLoaded", "dad", playerid, array, sizeof array);
	return 1;

{
	//Query processed, you can now execute cache functions (like cache_get_value_index) here.
	printf("There are %d players with the same name.", cache_num_rows());
	return 1;
}


mysql_tquery

Description:

Sends a query which will be executed in another thread and call a callback (if there was one specified) when the execution is successfully finished.

Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png

Notes

  • Only files inside the scriptfiles directory are considered.
  • The file path has to be absolute (relative to the scriptfiles directory), e.g. folder1/../file.sql is invalid.
  • All queries have to end with a semicolon.
  • Comments (starting with # or -- ) are ignored (except C-style comments).
  • Queries can be written over multiple lines.
  • The callback must be a public function. That means it has to be forwarded.


public OnGameModeInit()
{
    mysql_tquery_file(db_handle, "my_tables.sql", OnDatabaseTablesChecked);
    return 1;
}
 
forward OnDatabaseTablesChecked();
public OnDatabaseTablesChecked()
{
    LoadHouses();
    LoadVehicles();
    return 1;
}

mysql_query

Description:

This native sends a non-threaded query to the MySQL server. The SA:MP server (the main PAWN thread) waits until the query has been executed and then returns the stored cache handle.


Image:32px-Circle-style-warning.png

Important
Notes

  • Never send unthreaded queries unless you **really** know what you are doing.
  • Use cache_delete() if you don't need the query's result anymore or you will experience memory leaks.


Parameters:
(MySQL:handle, const query[], bool:use_cache = true)
MySQL:handleThe connection handle this will be processed on.
const query[]The query you want to execute.
bool:use_cacheSet to true if you intend to use the cache/result mysql_query returns (optional).


Return Values:

A valid cache-id if use_cache was set to true, MYSQL_INVALID_CACHE otherwise


Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png

Note

If use_cache is set to false, there won't be any valid cache to use, so all cache-related natives wont work. You also don't need to call cache_delete() in this case.


new registered_players, Cache:result = mysql_query(MySQL, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `players`");
cache_get_value_int(0, 0, registered_players);
printf("There are %d players in the database.", registered_players);
cache_delete(result);


mysql_query_file

Description:

This native reads all queries from the specified file and executes them in in an unthreaded manner.


Image:32px-Circle-style-warning.png

Important
Note

Don't send unthreaded queries unless you **really** know what you are doing.


Parameters:
(MySQL:handle, const file_path[])
MySQL:handleThe connection handle this will be processed on.
const file_path[]The file to read the queries from.


Return Values:

1 on success, 0 on failure.


Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png

Notes

  • Only files inside the scriptfiles directory are considered.
  • The file path has to be absolute (relative to the scriptfiles directory), e.g. folder1/../file.sql is invalid.
  • All queries have to end with a semicolon.
  • Comments (starting with # or -- ) are ignored (except C-style comments).
  • Queries can be written over multiple lines.


mysql_query_file(g_Sql, "players.sql");

mysql_escape_string

Description:

Escapes special characters in a string for the use in a SQL statement. It prepends backslashes to the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a.


Image:32px-Circle-style-warning.png

Important
Note

Always use this function (if you don't use mysql_format() with the '%e' specifier) before inserting user inputs in a query. You can be victim of a SQL injection if you do not do so.


Parameters:
(const source[], destination[], max_len = sizeof(destination), MySQL:handle = MYSQL_DEFAULT_HANDLE)
const source[]The string you want to be escaped.
destination[]The string to store escaped data in.
max_lenThe size of the destination (optional).
MySQL:handleThe connection handle this will be processed on (optional).


Return Values:

Length of escaped string, -1 on error.


Image:32px-Ambox_warning_orange.png

Note

% and _ are not escaped. These are wildcards in MySQL if combined with LIKE, GRANT, or REVOKE.


Image:32px-Circle-style-warning.png

Important
Notes

  • You have to provide the size (max_len) by yourself if you use an enum-array as destination.
  • If the destination cannot hold the whole text escaped, the function will return -1 and leave destination unchanged.


enum E_PLAYER {
	// ...
	LastMsg[128],
	// ...
};
new PlayerInfo[MAX_PLAYERS][E_PLAYER];
// ...
public OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])
{
	new escape[140*2+1];
	mysql_escape_string(text, escape); //string is now safe to be put in a query
	// ...
	mysql_escape_string(text, PlayerInfo[playerid][LastMsg], 128); //correctly saves the escaped string into an enum-array
	return 1;
}

mysql_format

Description:

Allows you to format a string which you can safely use in a query.


Parameters:
(MySQL:handle, output[], len, format[], {Float,_}:...)
MySQL:handleThe connection handle this will be processed on.
output[]The string to save the result to.
lenThe size of the output.
format[]The format string.
{Float,_}:...Indefinite number of arguments.


Return Values:

Length of the formatted string.


Format strings

Placeholder Meaning
%% Literal %.
%e Escaped string (escapes directly without the need to call mysql_escape_string() before).
%s Normal string.
%d / %i Decimal number.
%o Octal number.
%f Floating point number (will print INF and NAN in lowercase).
%F Floating point number (will print INF and NAN in uppercase).
%X Hexadecimal number in uppercase.
%x Hexadecimal number in lowercase.
%b Binary number.
%u Unsigned decimal number.
%a / %A Hexadecimal floating point number (lowercase/uppercase)
%g / %g Floating point number in scientific notation (lowercase/uppercase, like %f/%F)

The values for the placeholders follow in the exact same order as parameters in the call.
