# MySQL\_Exec

## `MySQL_Exec` (FB)

FUNCTION\_BLOCK MySQL\_Exec EXTENDS CBM.ETrig

**Short description:**

> This function block executes a MySQL command without a return result, such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, etc.

**Detailed description:**\
The MySQL commands must be built with an array. The length of the array is defined by the GLOBAL CONSTANTS.\
The FBox is based on the general behavior model “Etrig”, so you can process and display the current process state in your application.

**Info on MySQL\_Command:**\
Non-numeric SQL parameter values must be marked with quotation marks (apostrophe = ‚).\
To use an apostrophe within a CODESYS string, you must declare it with a dollar sign plus apostrophe ($‚) or with $27.

e.g:

```
MySQL_Command[0] := ‘SELECT * FROM table WHERE name =’
MySQL_Command[1] := ‘$27nonNumberValue$27 ‘;
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Attention:** Maximum length for identifiers is 250 bytes.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.powerio.com/hub/codesys-hvac/en/mysql-library/funktionsbausteine/mysql_exec.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
