OraGetInt( in cCursor : cursor,
           in sSqlVar : string,
           in nIndex  : number optional): number;

Return value

Retrieved long value

Parameter Description
cCursor Cursor associated with a database connection
sSqlVar

This parameter can be one of the following:

  • the name of the place holder in the SQL statement or PL/SQL block. In this case, the parameter must include the preceding colon identifying it as a place holder

  • the index of the select-list item in the SQL query. Position indices start at 1 for the first (leftmost) select-list item

Note: In the latter case, the column number has to be passed to the function as a string.
nIndex

Index or row number (optional). This parameter has to be passed to the function whenever retrieving a value assigned to an array place holder or fetching data from multiple rows. It can be one of the following:

  • the array index of the program variable

  • the row number for the long value in the fetched data

Example

var
  hConnection : number;
  cCursor : cursor;

dcltrans
  transaction TMain
  var
    nAge : number;
    sName : string;
  begin
    OraLogon(hConnection, "user", "password", "orclnet2");
    OraOpen(cCursor, hConnection);
    OraParse(cCursor, sqlSelect);
    OraBind(cCursor, ":1", SQLT_INT);
    OraSetInt(cCursor, ":1", 25);
    OraDefine(cCursor, 1, SQLT_CHR, 32);
    OraDefine(cCursor, 2, SQLT_INT);
    OraExec(cCursor);
    
    while OraFetch(cCursor) do
      sName := OraGetString(cCursor, "1");
      nAge := OraGetInt(cCursor, "2");
      write(sName, 32); write(nAge, 5); writeln;
    end;
    
    OraClose(cCursor);
    OraLogoff(hConnection);
  end TMain;

dclsql
  sqlSelect:
    SELECT * FROM persons WHERE age > :1;
