# mysql\_next\_result

## Syntax

```c
int mysql_next_result(MYSQL * mysql);
```

* `mysql` - a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by [mysql\_init()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_init) or [mysql\_real\_connect()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_real_connect).

## Description

Prepares next result set from a previous call to [mysql\_real\_query()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_real_query) which can be retrieved by [mysql\_store\_result()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_store_result) or [mysql\_use\_result()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_use_result). Returns zero on success, nonzero if an error occurred.

{% hint style="info" %}
If a multi query contains errors the return value of [mysql\_errno](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-functions/mysql_errno)/error() might change and there will be no result set available.
