<h1 class="topictitle1">Process UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT statements in a DB2 UDB CLI application</h1>
<div><p>If the statement is modifying data (UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT), no action
is required other than the normal check for diagnostic messages. In this case, <samp class="codeph">SQLRowCount()</samp> can
be used to obtain the number of rows affected by the SQL statement. </p>
<p>If the SQL statement
is a Positioned UPDATE or DELETE, it is necessary to use a <em>cursor</em>.
A cursor is a moveable pointer to a row in the result table of a SELECT statement.
In embedded SQL, cursors are used to retrieve, update or delete rows. When
using DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB
CLI, it is not necessary to define a cursor, because one is generated automatically.</p>
<p>In the case of Positioned UPDATE or DELETE statements, you need to specify
the name of the cursor within the SQL statement. You can either define your
own cursor name using <samp class="codeph">SQLSetCursorName()</samp>, or query the name
of the generated cursor using <samp class="codeph">SQLGetCursorName()</samp>. It is best
to use the generated name, because all error messages refer to this name,
and not the one defined by <samp class="codeph">SQLSetCursorName()</samp>.</p>
