setParameterci

SetParameterci is a function commonly used in programming, particularly in the context of database management and SQL operations. The function is designed to set a parameter in a prepared statement, specifically for integer values. Prepared statements are SQL statements that are precompiled and stored in a database, allowing for efficient execution of the same or similar SQL statements multiple times with high performance.

The function typically takes two arguments: the index of the parameter to be set and the integer value to be assigned to that parameter. The index is usually a 1-based integer that corresponds to the position of the parameter marker in the SQL statement. For example, in the SQL statement "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", the parameter marker "?" is at position 1.

Using SetParameterci ensures that the integer value is properly formatted and escaped, preventing SQL injection attacks and ensuring data integrity. It is a crucial component in developing secure and efficient database applications.

The function is part of various database APIs and libraries, such as JDBC in Java, ODBC in C/C++, and database-specific libraries in other programming languages. Its implementation may vary slightly depending on the specific API or library being used, but the core functionality remains consistent across different platforms.
