Hi there,
I recently upgraded from version 2 to version 3 and several queries of
mine stopped working due to the fact that I was using the same templated
argument more than once in a query, for example:
update help_links set help_status_types_id = 2 where help_status_types_id
= 3 and (to_help_content_id=%0 or from_help_content_id=%0)
These worked fine in v2, but not so well in v3. I did some digging to try
and figure out why, and it appears that are two problems.
1) Revision 1446 changed the detection of a templated query to search for
the magic size of '2' for parse_elems_. This meant that some of my queries
just fell through to the store/execute methods which just took (const
char* str, size_t len) with no substitution taking place.
2) Some of my queries take the form of, for example:
pQuery->execute ( "thing", 17 );
Again, mysqlpp assumes I am trying to execute the a query of 'thing' with
a length of 17, instead of correctly interpreting that I want to do a
template substitution first and execute the result of that.
I've attached a patch which reverts 1446 back to the version used in 1443
and adds checks for templated queries to the 'raw' store/use/execute
methods so that they do substitution when expected to.
I am probably missing some subtleties here, but this patch gets my system
(which depends heavily on large numbers of templated queries) back up and
running.
Thanks,
Martin
