Syntax

 ISC_STATUS isc_dsql_batch_execute_immed(ISC_STATUS *status_vector,
 isc_db_handle *db_handle, isc_tr_handle *tr_handle, int dialect,
 ISC_ULONG number_of_sql, char[] *sql, ISC_ULONG *rows_affected);

The meaning of each parameter is explained in the following table:

isc_dsql_batch_execute_immed Parameters
Argument	Description
`status_vector`	The address of an array of type `ICS_STATUS`. The respective `ISC_STATUS` values for each SQL statement in the batch will be returned in this array.
`db_handle`	The address of the database handle.
`tr_handle`	The address of the transaction handle.
`dialect`	The SQL dialect to use for the statements in the batch update.
`number_of_sql`	The number of SQL statements included in the batch update. This argument reflects the number of strings in the `sql` array.
`sql`	An array of NULL-terminated strings. Each string is an SQL statement to execute in the batch update. The SQL statements do not need to be terminated with semicolons. Instead, each SQL statement is terminated by a C NULL character.
`rows_affected`	A pre-allocated array of type `ISC_ULONG`, which will be used to store the number of rows affected by the corresponding SQL statement in the `sql` array.

If a statement fails, the ISC_STATUS will be set, and the corresponding entry in the rows_affected array will be set to -1, or 0xFFFFFFFF.
