pjs.executeDirect()
This API executes a non-prepared statement on IBM i, which can be used if there are no parameter markers in your SQL.
The API can also be called in the form of a method attached to a statement object as follows: stmt.executeDirect().
Note: There is a security risk if you do not sanitize any user input that is passed into this API. This is what prepared statements will do for you automatically.
Parameters
Non-prepared handle (from pjs.allocStmt()). This parameter can be omitted if the API is called as a statement method.
SQL statement string
The SQL statement must be valid for the database you are using
Return Value
This method will return a handle which must be used again in other statements.
Exception Handling
SQL diagnostics are reported in the SQLCA:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_73/db2/rbafzfielddescsqlca.htm
SQLCA fields are defined in Profound.js programs with the names in lowercase. sqlcode will be set to zero if execution was successful.
Example
Called directly
c1 = pjs.allocStmt();
pjs.setStmtAttr(c1, SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLLABLE, SQL_TRUE);
pjs.executeDirect(c1, "SELECT prid FROM demolib/productsp ORDER BY prid");
pjs.fetchLast(c1, prid);
pjs.close(c1);
Called as a method
c1 = pjs.allocStmt();
c1.setStmtAttr(SQL_ATTR_CURSOR_SCROLLABLE, SQL_TRUE);
c1.executeDirect("SELECT prid FROM demolib/productsp ORDER BY prid");
pjs.fetchLast(c1, prid);
c1.close();
Requirements
When using an IBM i database, this API requires the Profound.js Connector module.
