db-hstmt

Generic Function

Package: dbi

Arguments: db

The default method of this generic function returns the default statement handle for the database connection specified by db. db should be a database object as returned by connect.

A statement handle is used to describe a conversation with the database. There can in principal be multiple statement handles for a given database connection (though this feature is not implemented in 6.0). When the database connection is made a statement handle is allocated and becomes the default statement handle for conversations with that database connection. Normally an application won't need to be concerned about statement handles.
