Step 4b: Fetch the Row Count

The next step is to fetch the row count, as shown in the following illustration.

If the statement executed in Step 3 was an UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT statement, the application retrieves the count of affected rows with SQLRowCount. For more information, see "Determining the Number of Affected Rows" in Chapter 12: Updating Data.

The application now returns to step 3 to execute another statement in the same transaction or proceeds to step 5 to commit or roll back the transaction.
