<h2>Change The EXPLAIN Setting For A Prepared Statement</h2>
</div>
<blockquote><pre>
int sqlite3_stmt_explain(sqlite3_stmt *pStmt, int eMode);
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
The sqlite3_stmt_explain(S,E) interface changes the EXPLAIN
setting for <a href="../c3ref/stmt.html">prepared statement</a> S.  If E is zero, then S becomes
a normal prepared statement.  If E is 1, then S behaves as if
its SQL text began with "<a href="../lang_explain.html">EXPLAIN</a>".  If E is 2, then S behaves as if
its SQL text began with "<a href="../eqp.html">EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN</a>".</p>

<p>Calling sqlite3_stmt_explain(S,E) might cause S to be reprepared.
SQLite tries to avoid a reprepare, but a reprepare might be necessary
on the first transition into EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN mode.</p>

<p>Because of the potential need to reprepare, a call to
sqlite3_stmt_explain(S,E) will fail with SQLITE_ERROR if S cannot be
reprepared because it was created using <a href="../c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare()</a> instead of
the newer <a href="../c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v2()</a> or <a href="../c3ref/prepare.html">sqlite3_prepare_v3()</a> interfaces and
hence has no saved SQL text with which to reprepare.</p>

<p>Changing the explain setting for a prepared statement does not change
the original SQL text for the statement.  Hence, if the SQL text originally
began with EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN, but sqlite3_stmt_explain(S,0)
is called to convert the statement into an ordinary statement, the EXPLAIN
or EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN keywords will still appear in the sqlite3_sql(S)
output, even though the statement now acts like a normal SQL statement.</p>

<p>This routine returns SQLITE_OK if the explain mode is successfully
changed, or an error code if the explain mode could not be changed.
The explain mode cannot be changed while a statement is active.
Hence, it is good practice to call <a href="../c3ref/reset.html">sqlite3_reset(S)</a>
immediately prior to calling sqlite3_stmt_explain(S,E).
