Binding information

Input Binding: no

Output Binding: yes

Output Binding operations:

exec: The exec operation can be used for DDL operations (like table creation), as well as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations which return only metadata (e.g. number of affected rows).
query: The query operation is used for SELECT statements, which return both the metadata and the retrieved data in a form of an array of row values.
close: The close operation can be used to explicitly close the DB connection and return it to the pool. This operation doesn't have any response.
