75.Sh DESCRIPTION
76In the SQL statement text input to sqlite3_prepare_v2()
77and its variants, literals may be replaced by a parameter
78that matches one of following templates:
79.Bl -bullet
80.It
81?
82.It
83?NNN
84.It
85:VVV
86.It
87@VVV
88.It
89$VVV
90.El
91.Pp
92In the templates above, NNN represents an integer literal, and VVV
93represents an alphanumeric identifier.
94The values of these parameters (also called "host parameter names"
95or "SQL parameters") can be set using the sqlite3_bind_*() routines
96defined here.
97.Pp
98The first argument to the sqlite3_bind_*() routines is always a pointer
99to the sqlite3_stmt object returned from sqlite3_prepare_v2()
100or its variants.
101.Pp
102The second argument is the index of the SQL parameter to be set.
103The leftmost SQL parameter has an index of 1.
104When the same named SQL parameter is used more than once, second and
105subsequent occurrences have the same index as the first occurrence.
106The index for named parameters can be looked up using the sqlite3_bind_parameter_index()
107API if desired.
108The index for "?NNN" parameters is the value of NNN.
109The NNN value must be between 1 and the sqlite3_limit()
110parameter SQLITE_LIMIT_VARIABLE_NUMBER
111(default value: 999).
112.Pp
113The third argument is the value to bind to the parameter.
114If the third parameter to sqlite3_bind_text() or sqlite3_bind_text16()
115or sqlite3_bind_blob() is a NULL pointer then the fourth parameter
116is ignored and the end result is the same as sqlite3_bind_null().
117.Pp
118In those routines that have a fourth argument, its value is the number
119of bytes in the parameter.
120To be clear: the value is the number of <u>bytes</u> in the value,
121not the number of characters.
122If the fourth parameter to sqlite3_bind_text() or sqlite3_bind_text16()
123is negative, then the length of the string is the number of bytes up
124to the first zero terminator.
125If the fourth parameter to sqlite3_bind_blob() is negative, then the
126behavior is undefined.
127If a non-negative fourth parameter is provided to sqlite3_bind_text()
128or sqlite3_bind_text16() then that parameter must be the byte offset
129where the NUL terminator would occur assuming the string were NUL terminated.
130If any NUL characters occur at byte offsets less than the value of
131the fourth parameter then the resulting string value will contain embedded
132NULs.
133The result of expressions involving strings with embedded NULs is undefined.
134.Pp
135The fifth argument to sqlite3_bind_blob(), sqlite3_bind_text(), and
136sqlite3_bind_text16() is a destructor used to dispose of the BLOB or
137string after SQLite has finished with it.
138The destructor is called to dispose of the BLOB or string even if the
139call to sqlite3_bind_blob(), sqlite3_bind_text(), or sqlite3_bind_text16()
140fails.
141If the fifth argument is the special value SQLITE_STATIC,
142then SQLite assumes that the information is in static, unmanaged space
143and does not need to be freed.
144If the fifth argument has the value SQLITE_TRANSIENT,
145then SQLite makes its own private copy of the data immediately, before
146the sqlite3_bind_*() routine returns.
147.Pp
148The sqlite3_bind_zeroblob() routine binds a BLOB of length N that is
149filled with zeroes.
150A zeroblob uses a fixed amount of memory (just an integer to hold its
151size) while it is being processed.
152Zeroblobs are intended to serve as placeholders for BLOBs whose content
153is later written using  incremental BLOB I/O routines.
154A negative value for the zeroblob results in a zero-length BLOB.
155.Pp
156If any of the sqlite3_bind_*() routines are called with a NULL pointer
157for the prepared statement or with a prepared statement
158for which sqlite3_step() has been called more recently
159than sqlite3_reset(), then the call will return SQLITE_MISUSE.
160If any sqlite3_bind_() routine is passed a prepared statement
161that has been finalized, the result is undefined and probably harmful.
162.Pp
163Bindings are not cleared by the sqlite3_reset() routine.
164Unbound parameters are interpreted as NULL.
165.Pp
166The sqlite3_bind_* routines return SQLITE_OK on success or
167an error code if anything goes wrong.
168SQLITE_RANGE is returned if the parameter index is out
169of range.
170SQLITE_NOMEM is returned if malloc() fails.
