dbFetch,MySQLResult,numeric-method: Execute a SQL statement on a database connection.

Description

dbFetch(res, n = -1, ...)

# S4 method for MySQLResult,numeric fetch(res, n = -1, ...)

# S4 method for MySQLResult,missing dbFetch(res, n = -1, ...)

# S4 method for MySQLResult,missing fetch(res, n = -1, ...)

# S4 method for MySQLConnection,character dbSendQuery(conn, statement)

# S4 method for MySQLResult dbClearResult(res, ...)
