C API PREPARED STATEMENTS- Error in inserting values to a table in the mysql database

[senthil kumar]

I got the below piece of code from the mysql website. It is meant to insert values to a database.
But the below code inserts only null instead of inserting the intended values, in the (mysql 5.5) database.

I tried several times with different approaches. But i am getting the same result.

#define DROP_SAMPLE_TABLE "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test_table"
#define CREATE_SAMPLE_TABLE "CREATE TABLE test_table(col1 INT,\
col2 VARCHAR(40))"

test_table(col1,col2) \
VALUES(?,?)"

It creates a table with the attributes, but nulls the values!!
I kindly request you to look into this...
