API Overview

The pjs.query() API is a shortcut for executing an SQL statement and automatically fetching the results. The results are returned by default as a primitive JavaScript array or object. However, if the 4th parameter is specified, the results are instead returned into a set of strongly defined fields, a strongly defined array, or a strongly defined data structure.

This API first prepares the SQL statement, binds parameters (if any), executes the statement, and then fetches the records.

This API also has the capability to INSERT or UPDATE records using a primitive JavaScript object that represent fields and their corresponding values.

Note
If the SQL statement is an INSERT or an UPDATE, parameter 3 and parameter 4 are not applicable.

  1. If parameter 4 is specified, the API does not return a value.
  2. If 1 record is requested, the API returns a JavaScript object that represents the fetched record or null if no record was found.
  3. If more than 1 record is requested, the API returns an array of JavaScript objects, where each Object represents a record. If no records were fetched, an empty array is returned.

16MB of data is the limit for the whole result from a pjs.query() request with the IBM i Connector. (The limit is not 16MB per column).
