## Description

Prepares next result set from a previous call to [mysql\_real\_query()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_real_query.md) which can be retrieved by [mysql\_store\_result()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_store_result.md) or [mysql\_use\_result()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_use_result.md).
