//返回执行结果，适用于数据量较小时

my_ulonglong mysql_num_rows(MYSQL_RES *result);
//返回上面函数返回结果的行数

MYSQL_ROW mysql_fetch_row(MYSQL_RES *result);
//抽取一条记录，返回NULL时表示抽取完记录或者错误

//返回当前的位置

MYSQL_ROW_OFFSET mysql_row_seek(MYSQL_RES *result, MYSQL_ROW_OFFSET offset);
//移动数据位置，并返回先前的位置，可以和上一个函数结合使用

//释放result空间

MYSQL_RES *mysql_use_result(MYSQL *connection);
//返回执行结果，适用于数据量较大时

unsigned int mysql_field_count(MYSQL *connection);
//返回查询结果中的列数（column数）
