23 is isc_info_sql_records, which means you got the information you
requested. Did you pay attention to Dimitry's code? It specifically
tests for isc_info_sql_records in the first byte of the result buffer.

From there you walk the buffer and get the info you need. If you
prefer the quick and dirty way, I have seen code that directly
accesses specific offsets (6 for update, 13 for delete and 27 for
insert) and reads 4-byte numbers from them, but I'm not suggesting you
do that. ;-)
