.SS Parameters
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[C]mysql\f[R] \- a mysql handle, which was previously allocated by
\f[B]mysql_init(3)\f[R] and connected by
\f[B]mysql_real_connect(3)\f[R].

\f[C]query\f[R] \- SQL statement
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[C]length\f[R] \- length of the SQL statement
.SS Notes
.IP \[bu] 2
The OK and result set package need to be retrieved by
\f[B]mysql_read_query_result(3)\f[R] function
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[C]mysql_send_query()\f[R] can be used for semi asynchronous
operation.
While the function itself is blocking, an event driven application can
do other tasks until result set is available.
