function DatabaseConnection_pgsql::query

Executes a query string against the database.

This method provides a central handler for the actual execution of every query. All queries executed by Drupal are executed as PDO prepared statements.

Parameters

$query: The query to execute. In most cases this will be a string containing an SQL query with placeholders. An already-prepared instance of DatabaseStatementInterface may also be passed in order to allow calling code to manually bind variables to a query. If a DatabaseStatementInterface is passed, the $args array will be ignored. It is extremely rare that module code will need to pass a statement object to this method. It is used primarily for database drivers for databases that require special LOB field handling.

$args: An array of arguments for the prepared statement. If the prepared statement uses ? placeholders, this array must be an indexed array. If it contains named placeholders, it must be an associative array.

$options: An associative array of options to control how the query is run. See the documentation for DatabaseConnection::defaultOptions() for details.

Return value

DatabaseStatementInterface This method will return one of: the executed statement, the number of rows affected by the query (not the number matched), or the generated insert ID of the last query, depending on the value of $options['return']. Typically that value will be set by default or a query builder and should not be set by a user. If there is an error, this method will return NULL and may throw an exception if $options['throw_exception'] is TRUE.
