# mysql\_stmt\_reset

## Syntax

```c
my_bool mysql_stmt_reset(MYSQL_STMT * stmt);
```

* `stmt` - a statement handle, which was previously allocated by [mysql\_stmt\_init()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-prepared-statement-functions/mysql_stmt_init). Returns zero on success, nonzero if an error occurred.

## Description

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

{% 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()](https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c/api-prepared-statement-functions/mysql_stmt_prepare).
{% endhint %}
