# mysql\_stmt\_fetch

## Syntax

```c
int mysql_stmt_fetch(MYSQL_STMT * stmt);
```

## Parameter

* `stmt` - a statement handle, which was previously allocated by [mysql\_stmt\_init()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-prepared-statement-functions/mysql_stmt_init.md).

## Description

Fetch the result from a prepared statement into the buffer bound by mysql\_stmt\_bind\_result().

## Return Value

Returns `0` for success, `MYSQL_NO_DATA` if the end of the result set has been reached, or `MYSQL_DATA_TRUNCATED` if one or more values are truncated.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Note that all columns must be bound by the application before calling mysql\_stmt\_fetch().
* Data are transferred unbuffered without calling [mysql\_stmt\_store\_result()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-prepared-statement-functions/mysql_stmt_store_result.md) which can decrease performance (but reduces memory cost).
* Truncation reporting must be enabled by function [mysql\_optionsv()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_optionsv.md) with option `MYSQL_REPORT_DATA_TRUNCATION`
  {% endhint %}
