int mysql_query(MYSQL *mysql, const char
          *query)
        
Description
          Executes the SQL query pointed to by the null-terminated
          string query. Normally, the string must
          consist of a single SQL statement and you should not add a
          terminating semicolon (';') or
          \g to the statement. If multiple-statement
          execution has been enabled, the string can contain several
          statements separated by semicolons. See
          Sección 24.2.9, “Tratamiento por parte de la API C de la ejecución de múltiples
        consultas”.
        
          mysql_query() cannot be used for queries
          that contain binary data; you should use
          mysql_real_query() instead. (Binary data
          may contain the '\0' character, which
          mysql_query() interprets as the end of the
          query string.)
        
          If you want to know whether the query should return a result
          set, you can use mysql_field_count() to
          check for this. See Sección 24.2.3.20, “mysql_field_count()”.
        
Return Values
Zero if the query was successful. Non-zero if an error occurred.
