fbsql_affected_rows - Get number of affected rows in previous FrontBase operation

SYNOPSIS
       int fbsql_affected_rows ([resource  $link_identifier])

DESCRIPTION
       fbsql_affected_rows(3) returns the number of rows affected by the last INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE query associated with $link_identifier.

       Note

	       If  you	are  using transactions, you need to call fbsql_affected_rows(3) after your INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE query, not after the
	      commit.

	If the last query was a DELETE query with no WHERE clause, all of the records will have been deleted from the table but this function will
       return zero.

       Note

	       When using UPDATE, FrontBase will not update columns where the new value is the same as the old value. This creates the possibility
	      that fbsql_affected_rows(3) may not actually equal the number of rows matched, only the number of rows that were literally  affected
	      by the query.

PARAMETERS
	      o $
		link_identifier  -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified, the
		function will try to find an open link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it	will  try  to  create  one  as	if
		fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

RETURN VALUES
	If the last query failed, this function will return -1.

SEE ALSO
       fbsql_num_rows(3).
