The value class represents a single value of any type.
API Reference
void duckdb_destroy_value(duckdb_value *value);
duckdb_value duckdb_create_varchar(const char *text);
duckdb_value duckdb_create_varchar_length(const char *text, idx_t length);
duckdb_value duckdb_create_int64(int64_t val);
char *duckdb_get_varchar(duckdb_value value);
int64_t duckdb_get_int64(duckdb_value value);
duckdb_destroy_value
Destroys the value and de-allocates all memory allocated for that type.
Syntax
void duckdb_destroy_value(
duckdb_value *value
);
Parameters
value
The value to destroy.
duckdb_create_varchar
Creates a value from a null-terminated string
Syntax
duckdb_value duckdb_create_varchar(
const char *text
);
Parameters
value
The null-terminated string
returns
The value. This must be destroyed with duckdb_destroy_value
.
duckdb_create_varchar_length
Creates a value from a string
Syntax
duckdb_value duckdb_create_varchar_length(
const char *text,
idx_t length
);
Parameters
value
The text
length
The length of the text
returns
The value. This must be destroyed with duckdb_destroy_value
.
duckdb_create_int64
Creates a value from an int64
Syntax
duckdb_value duckdb_create_int64(
int64_t val
);
Parameters
value
The bigint value
returns
The value. This must be destroyed with duckdb_destroy_value
.
duckdb_get_varchar
Obtains a string representation of the given value.
The result must be destroyed with duckdb_free
.
Syntax
char *duckdb_get_varchar(
duckdb_value value
);
Parameters
value
The value
returns
The string value. This must be destroyed with duckdb_free
.
duckdb_get_int64
Obtains an int64 of the given value.
Syntax
int64_t duckdb_get_int64(
duckdb_value value
);
Parameters
value
The value
returns
The int64 value, or 0 if no conversion is possible
