(PECL)

maxdb_query

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

maxdb->query -- Performs a query on the database

## Description

Procedural style:

mixed maxdb_query ( resource link, string query [, int resultmode] )

Object oriented style (method):

class maxdb {
mixed query ( string query )
}

The maxdb_query() function is used to simplify the act of performing a query against the database represented by the link parameter.

## Return values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure. For SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN maxdb_query() will return a result resource.

maxdb_real_query(), maxdb_multi_query(), maxdb_free_result()

## Example

Example 1. Object oriented style
`<?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } /* Create table doesn't return a resultset */ if ($maxdb->query("CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city") === TRUE) { printf("Table mycity successfully created.\n"); } /* Select queries return a resultset */ if ($result = $maxdb->query("SELECT name FROM hotel.city")) { printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", $result->num_rows); /* free result set */ $result->close(); } /* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MAXDB_USE_RESULT */ if ($result = $maxdb->query("SELECT * FROM hotel.city", MAXDB_USE_RESULT)) { $result->close(); } $maxdb->close(); ?>`

Example 2. Procedural style
`<?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } /* Create table doesn't return a resultset */ if (maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city") === TRUE) { printf("Table mycity successfully created.\n"); } /* Select queries return a resultset */ if ($result = maxdb_query($link, "SELECT name FROM hotel.city")) { printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", maxdb_num_rows($result)); /* free result set */ maxdb_free_result($result); } /* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MAXDB_USE_RESULT */ if ($result = maxdb_query($link, "SELECT * FROM hotel.city", MAXDB_USE_RESULT)) { maxdb_free_result($result); } maxdb_close($link); ?>`

The above examples would produce the following output:

    Table mycity successfully created.
    Select returned 25 rows.
