Re: Connector/C++ v 8 and binding parameters

[Walter Oney]

Yes, it helps. Stated more fully, you have to use the individual setXXX (setInt, setDouble, etc.) functions to set the parameterized values.

But I still have a problem. Namely, I can't figure out how to set a blob. I'm starting with binary data in memory (specifically the BIND structure described in the 5.4 API) that can contain nuls. PreparedStatement::setBlob wants an iostream, and I've spent hours looking for something like std::istringstream that will work with binary data. Or else a function like mysqli_stmt_send_long_data that's in the JDBC api.
