Name: ODBC::DATABASE-EXEC-SQL

Section: Odbc Database Operators

Synopsis:

`<odbc::database-exec-sql DBVAR QUERY-STRING>`

Description:

Executes the SQL query in QUERY-STRING, on the open database connection specified by DBVAR.

Returns TRUE if no errors are encountered.

This function differs from ODBC::DATABASE-EXEC-QUERY in that it does not return any cursor, so there is no way to get results back from the execution of your SQL command. Thus, it is most useful for sending commands which expect no return values, such as a SQL DELETE statement:
