 <TD colspan="3">If the execution of the statement went fine you are now able to fetch
 the data <A Href="gloss.html#col">column</A> by column. May be you would first like to know
 how many columns there are in the result set (if you use a <CODE> SELECT * FROM tkeyuser</CODE>
 you wouldn't know in your program). A call to <a href="gloss.html#ccol"><CODE>SQLNumResultCols</CODE></A>.
 This function takes the statement handle and a pointer to an integer variable which will yield the
 number of columns after the call.
 Knowing that much we can add this to our program:
 <CODE><PRE>
// At the beginning add:
SQLSMALLINT V_OD_colanz; // Num of columns

// At the end add:
 V_OD_erg=SQLNumResultCols(V_OD_hstmt,&V_OD_colanz);
 if ((V_OD_erg != SQL_SUCCESS) && 
 (V_OD_erg != SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO))
 {
 printf("Fehler im ResultCols %d\n",V_OD_erg);
 SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT,V_OD_hstmt);
 SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_DBC,V_OD_hdbc);
 SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_ENV, V_OD_Env);
 exit(0);
 }
 printf("Number of Columns %d\n",V_OD_colanz);

</PRE></CODE>
 
 The next thing you need to know is how many <A href="gloss.html#row">rows</A> have
 been returned by the query. A call to <A HREF="gloss.html#crow"><CODE>SQLRowCount</CODE></A> should
 quench your thirst for knowledge. 
 
 
 The last thing to do is to fetch the data itself from the result set. You should call <A HREF="gloss.html#fetc"><CODE>SQLFetch</CODE></A>
 with a statement handle (which has been allocated and <CODE>SQLBind</CODE> has been called for all columns).
 <CODE>SQLFetch</CODE> returns <CODE>SQL_NO_DATA</CODE> if there is no more data in the result set.
 
 So here is the complete source code. Real C-programmers will moan in disgust
 how inefficient the program is coded, but I prefer it that way (doesn't it look a little bit like PASCAL?). 
 Take it as a starting point for your own endeavors with ODBC.
