# mysql\_stmt\_reset

## Syntax

```c
my_bool mysql_stmt_reset(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). Returns zero on success, nonzero if an error occurred.

## Description

Resets a prepared statement on the client and server to state after prepare.

## Return Value

Returns zero on success, 1 if an error occurred.

{% hint style="info" %}

* `mysql_stmt_reset()` resets the statement on the server, unbuffered result sets, and errors. Bindings and stored result sets will not be cleared. The latter one will be cleared when re-executing or closing the prepared statement.
* To reprepare a prepared statement with another SQL statement, use [mysql\_stmt\_prepare()](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-prepared-statement-functions/mysql_stmt_prepare.md).
  {% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-prepared-statement-functions/mysql_stmt_reset.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
