+ <a href="#driverguide"><b>Database Driver Guide<br>
+ </b></a><b><a href="#changes">Change Log</a></b><br>
+</p>
+<h2>Introduction<a name="intro"></a></h2>
+<p>PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a need for
+ a database class library to hide the differences between the different database
+ API's (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily switch databases. PHP 4.0.5 or later
+ is now required (because we use array-based str_replace).</p>
+<p>We currently support MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Informix,
+ PostgreSQL, FrontBase, SQLite, Interbase (Firebird and Borland variants), Foxpro, Access, ADO, DB2, SAP DB and ODBC.
+ We have had successful reports of connecting to Progress and CacheLite via ODBC. We hope more people
+ will contribute drivers to support other databases.</p>
+<p>PHP4 supports session variables. You can store your session information using
+ ADOdb for true portability and scalability. See adodb-session.php for more information.</p>
+<p>Also read <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/tips_portable_sql.htm">tips_portable_sql.htm</a>
+ for tips on writing
+ portable SQL.</p>
+<h2>Unique Features of ADOdb<a name="features"></a></h2>
+<ul>
+ <li><b>Easy for Windows programmers</b> to adapt to because many of the conventions
+ are similar to Microsoft's ADO.</li>
+ <li>Unlike other PHP database classes which focus only on select statements,
+ <b>we provide support code to handle inserts and updates which can be adapted
+ to multiple databases quickly.</b> Methods are provided for date handling,
+ string concatenation and string quoting characters for differing databases.</li>
+ <li>A<b> metatype system </b>is built in so that we can figure out that types
+ such as CHAR, TEXT and STRING are equivalent in different databases.</li>
+ <li><b>Easy to port</b> because all the database dependant code are stored in
+ stub functions. You do not need to port the core logic of the classes.</li>
+ <li><b>Portable table and index creation</b> with the <a href="docs-datadict.htm">datadict</a> classes.
+ </li><li><b>Database performance monitoring and SQL tuning</b> with the <a href="docs-perf.htm">performance monitoring</a> classes.
+ </li><li><b>Database-backed sessions</b> with the <a href="docs-session.htm">session management</a> classes. Supports session expiry notification.
+<li><b>Object-Relational Mapping</b> using <a href="docs-active-record.htm">ADOdb_Active_Record</a> classes.
+</li></ul>
+<h2>How People are using ADOdb<a name="users"></a></h2>

+</p><h2>Feature Requests and Bug Reports<a name="bugs"></a></h2>
+<p>Feature requests and bug reports can be emailed to <a href="mailto:jlim#natsoft.com.my">jlim#natsoft.com.my</a>
+ or posted to the ADOdb Help forums at <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/topics.php?id=4">http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/topics.php?id=4</a>.</p>
+<h2>Installation Guide<a name="install"></a></h2>
+<p>Make sure you are running PHP 4.0.5 or later.
+ Unpack all the files into a directory accessible by your webserver.</p>
+<p>To test, try modifying some of the tutorial examples. Make sure you customize
+ the connection settings correctly. You can debug using <i>$db-&gt;debug = true</i> as shown below:</p>
+<pre>&lt;?php<br> include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br> $db = <a href="#adonewconnection">ADONewConnection</a>($dbdriver); # eg 'mysql' or 'postgres'<br> $db-&gt;debug = true;<br> $db-&gt;<a href="#connect">Connect</a>($server, $user, $password, $database);<br> $rs = $db-&gt;<a href="#execute">Execute</a>('select * from some_small_table');<br> print "&lt;pre&gt;";<br> print_r($rs-&gt;<a href="#getrows">GetRows</a>());<br> print "&lt;/pre&gt;";<br>?&gt;</pre>
+
+ <h3>Minimum Install<a name="mininstall"></a></h3>
+<p>For developers who want to release a minimal install of ADOdb, you will need:
+</p><ul>
+<li>adodb.inc.php
+</li><li>adodb-lib.inc.php
+</li><li>adodb-time.inc.php
+</li><li>drivers/adodb-$database.inc.php
+</li><li>license.txt (for legal reasons)
+</li><li>adodb-php4.inc.php
+</li><li>adodb-iterator.inc.php (php5 functionality)
+</li></ul>
+Optional:
+<ul>
+<li>adodb-error.inc.php and lang/adodb-$lang.inc.php (if you use MetaError())
+</li><li>adodb-csvlib.inc.php (if you use cached recordsets - CacheExecute(), etc)
+</li><li>adodb-exceptions.inc.php and adodb-errorhandler.inc.php (if you use adodb error handler or php5 exceptions).
+<li>adodb-active-record.inc.php if you use <a href=docs-active-record.htm>Active Records</a>.
+</li></ul>
+
+<h3>Code Initialization Examples<a name="coding"></a></h3>
+<p>When running ADOdb, at least two files are loaded. First is adodb/adodb.inc.php,
+ which contains all functions used by all database classes. The code specific
+ to a particular database is in the adodb/driver/adodb-????.inc.php file.</p>
+ <a name="adonewconnection"></a>
+<p>For example, to connect to a mysql database:</p>
+<pre>include('/path/to/set/here/adodb.inc.php');<br>$conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql');<br></pre>
+<p>Whenever you need to connect to a database, you create a Connection object
+ using the <b>ADONewConnection</b>($driver) function.
+ <b>NewADOConnection</b>($driver) is an alternative name for the same function.</p>
+
+<p>At this point, you are not connected to the database (no longer true if you pass in a <a href="#dsnsupport">dsn</a>). You will first need to decide
+whether to use <i>persistent</i> or <i>non-persistent</i> connections. The advantage of <i>persistent</i>
+connections is that they are faster, as the database connection is never closed (even
+when you call Close()). <i>Non-persistent </i>connections take up much fewer resources though,
+reducing the risk of your database and your web-server becoming overloaded.
+</p><p>For persistent connections,
+use $conn-&gt;<a href="#pconnect">PConnect()</a>,
+ or $conn-&gt;<a href="#connect">Connect()</a> for non-persistent connections.
+Some database drivers also support <a href="#nconnect">NConnect()</a>, which forces
+the creation of a new connection.
+
+<a name="connection_gotcha"></a>
+</p><p><b>Connection Gotcha</b>: If you create two connections, but both use the same userid and password,
+PHP will share the same connection. This can cause problems if the connections are meant to
+different databases. The solution is to always use different userid's for different databases,
+ or use NConnect().
+
+ <a name="dsnsupport"></a>
+ </p><h3>Data Source Name (DSN) Support</h3>
+ <p> Since ADOdb 4.51, you can connect to a database by passing a dsn to NewADOConnection() (or ADONewConnection, which is
+ the same function). The dsn format is:
+</p><pre> $driver://$username:$password@hostname/$database?options[=value]<br></pre><p>
+NewADOConnection() calls Connect() or PConnect() internally for you. If the connection fails, false is returned.
+</p><pre> <font color="#008000"># non-persistent connection</font>
+ $dsn = 'mysql://root:pwd@localhost/mydb';
+ $db = NewADOConnection($dsn);
+ if (!$db) die("Connection failed");
+
+ <font color="#008000"># no need to call connect/pconnect!</font>
+ $arr = $db-&gt;GetArray("select * from table");
+
+ <font color="#008000"># persistent connection</font>
+ $dsn2 = 'mysql://root:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist';
+</pre>
+<p>
+If you have special characters such as /:? in your dsn, then you need to rawurlencode them first:
+</p><pre> $pwd = rawurlencode($pwd);<br> $dsn = "mysql://root:$pwd@localhost/mydb";<br></pre>
+<p>
+Legal options are:
+</p><p>
+<table align="center" border="1"><tbody><tr><td>For all drivers</td><td>
+ 'persist', 'persistent', 'debug', 'fetchmode', 'new'
+ </td></tr><tr><td>Interbase/Firebird
+ </td><td>
+ 'dialect','charset','buffers','role'
+ </td></tr><tr><td>M'soft ADO</td><td>
+ 'charpage'
+
+ </td></tr><tr><td>MySQL</td><td>
+ 'clientflags'
+</td></tr><tr><td>MySQLi</td><td>
+ 'port', 'socket', 'clientflags'
+</td></tr><tr><td>Oci8</td><td>
+ 'nls_date_format','charset'
+</td></tr></tbody></table>
+</p><p>
+For all drivers, when the options <i>persist</i> or <i>persistent</i> are set, a persistent connection is forced; similarly, when <i>new</i> is set, then
+a new connection will be created using NConnect if the underlying driver supports it.
+The <i>debug</i> option enables debugging. The <i>fetchmode</i> calls <a href="#setfetchmode">SetFetchMode()</a>.
+If no value is defined for an option, then the value is set to 1.
+</p><p>
+ADOdb DSN's are compatible with version 1.0 of PEAR DB's DSN format.

+<h4><a name="connect_ex">MySQL and Most Other Database Drivers</a></h4>
+<p><a name="connect_ex">MySQL connections are very straightforward, and the parameters are identical

+</p>
+<a name=pdo>
+<h4>PDO</h4>
+<p>PDO, which only works with PHP5, accepts a driver specific connection string:
+<pre>
+ $conn =& NewADConnection('pdo');
+ $conn->Connect('mysql:host=localhost',$user,$pwd,$mydb);
+ $conn->Connect('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydb',$user,$pwd);
+ $conn->Connect("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydb;username=$user;password=$pwd");
+</pre>
+<p>The DSN mechanism is also supported:
+<pre>
+ $conn =& NewADConnection("pdo_mysql://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist"); # persist is optional
+</pre>
+<h4>PostgreSQL</h4>
+<p>PostgreSQL 7 and 8 accepts connections using: </p>
+<p>a. the standard connection string:</p>
+<pre> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('postgres'); <br> $conn-&gt;PConnect('host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mary');</pre>
+<p> b. the classical 4 parameters:</p>
+ <pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');<br> </pre>
+<p>c. dsn:
+</p><pre> $dsn = 'postgres://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist'; # persist is optional

+$ldap->Close();
+echo "&lt;/pre>";
+</pre>
+<p>Using DSN:
+<pre>
+$dsn = "ldap://ldap.baylor.edu/ou=People,o=Baylor University,c=US";
+$db = NewADOConnection($dsn);
+</pre>
+<h4>Interbase/Firebird</h4>
+You define the database in the $host parameter:
+<pre> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('ibase'); <br> $conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost:c:\ibase\employee.gdb','sysdba','masterkey');<br></pre>
+<p>Or dsn:
+</p><pre> $dsn = 'firebird://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist&amp;dialect=3'; # persist is optional<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br></pre>
+<h4>SQLite</h4>
+Sqlite will create the database file if it does not exist.
+<pre> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('sqlite');
+ $conn-&gt;PConnect('c:\path\to\sqlite.db'); # sqlite will create if does not exist<br></pre>
+<p>Or dsn:
+</p><pre> $path = urlencode('c:\path\to\sqlite.db');
+ $dsn = "sqlite://$path/?persist"; # persist is optional
+ $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br></pre>
+<h4>Oracle (oci8)</h4>
+<p>With oci8, you can connect in multiple ways. Note that oci8 works fine with
+newer versions of the Oracle, eg. 9i and 10g.</p>
+<p>a. PHP and Oracle reside on the same machine, use default SID.</p>
+<pre> $conn-&gt;Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
+<p>b. TNS Name defined in tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES), eg. 'myTNS'</p>
+<pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', 'myTNS');</pre>
+<p>or</p>
+<pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect('myTNS', 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
+<p>c. Host Address and SID</p>
+<pre>
+ $conn->connectSID = true;
+ $conn-&gt;Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'SID');</pre>
+<p>d. Host Address and Service Name</p>
+<pre> $conn-&gt;Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'servicename');</pre>
+<p>e. Oracle connection string:
+</p><pre> $cstr = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=$host)(PORT=$port))<br> (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$sid)))";<br> $conn-&gt;Connect($cstr, 'scott', 'tiger');<br></pre>
+<p>f. ADOdb dsn:
+</p><pre> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@tnsname/?persist'; # persist is optional<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br> <br> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@host/sid';<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);<br> <br> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@/'; # oracle on local machine<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);<br></pre>
+<p>You can also set the charSet for Oracle 9.2 and later, supported since PHP 4.3.2, ADOdb 4.54:
+</p><pre> $conn-&gt;charSet = 'we8iso8859p1';<br> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> <br> # or<br> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@tnsname/?charset=WE8MSWIN1252';<br> $db = ADONewConnection($dsn);<br></pre>
+<a name="dsnless"></a>
+<h4>DSN-less ODBC ( Access, MSSQL and DB2 examples)</h4>
+<p>ODBC DSN's can be created in the ODBC control panel, or you can use a DSN-less
+ connection.To use DSN-less connections with ODBC you need PHP 4.3 or later.
+</p>
+<p>For Microsoft Access:</p>
+<pre> $db =&amp; ADONewConnection('access');<br> $dsn = <strong>"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=d:\\northwind.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;";</strong>
+ $db-&gt;Connect($dsn);
+</pre>
+For Microsoft SQL Server:
+<pre> $db =&amp; ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');<br> $dsn = <strong>"Driver={SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=northwind;"</strong>;<br> $db-&gt;Connect($dsn,'userid','password');<br></pre>
+or if you prefer to use the mssql extension (which is limited to mssql 6.5 functionality):
+<pre> $db =&amp; ADONewConnection('mssql');<br> $db-&gt;Execute('localhost', 'userid', 'password', 'northwind');<br></pre>
+For DB2:
+<pre>
+ $dbms = 'db2'; # or 'odbc_db2' if db2 extension not available
+ $db =&amp; ADONewConnection($dbms);
+ $dsn = "driver={IBM db2 odbc DRIVER};Database=sample;hostname=localhost;port=50000;protocol=TCPIP;".
+ "uid=root; pwd=secret";<br> $db-&gt;Connect($dsn);
+</pre>
+<b>DSN-less Connections with ADO</b><br>
+If you are using versions of PHP earlier than PHP 4.3.0, DSN-less connections
+only work with Microsoft's ADO, which is Microsoft's COM based API. An example
+using the ADOdb library and Microsoft's ADO:
+<pre>&lt;?php<br> include('adodb.inc.php'); <br> $db = &amp;ADONewConnection("ado_mssql");<br> print "&lt;h1&gt;Connecting DSN-less $db-&gt;databaseType...&lt;/h1&gt;";<br> <br> <b>$myDSN="PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={SQL Server};"<br> . "SERVER=flipper;DATABASE=ai;UID=sa;PWD=;" ;</b>
+ $db-&gt;Connect($myDSN);
+
+ $rs = $db-&gt;Execute("select * from table");
+ $arr = $rs-&gt;GetArray();
+ print_r($arr);
+?&gt;
+</pre><a name="speed"></a>
+<h2>High Speed ADOdb - tuning tips</h2>
+<p>ADOdb is a big class library, yet it <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/">consistently beats</a> all other PHP class
+ libraries in performance. This is because it is designed in a layered fashion,
+ like an onion, with the fastest functions in the innermost layer. Stick to the
+ following functions for best performance:</p>
+<table align="center" border="1" width="40%">
+ <tbody><tr>
+ <td><div align="center"><b>Innermost Layer</b></div></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><p align="center">Connect, PConnect, NConnect<br>
+ Execute, CacheExecute<br>
+ SelectLimit, CacheSelectLimit<br>
+ MoveNext, Close <br>
+ qstr, Affected_Rows, Insert_ID</p></td>
+ </tr>
+</tbody></table>
+<p>The fastest way to access the field data is by accessing the array $recordset-&gt;fields
+ directly. Also set the global variables <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>
+ = ADODB_FETCH_NUM, and (for oci8, ibase/firebird and odbc) <a href="#adodb_countrecs">$ADODB_COUNTRECS</a> = false
+ before you connect to your database.</p>
+<p>Consider using bind parameters if your database supports it, as it improves
+ query plan reuse. Use ADOdb's performance tuning system to identify bottlenecks
+ quickly. At the time of writing (Dec 2003), this means oci8 and odbc drivers.</p>
+ <p>Lastly make sure you have a PHP accelerator cache installed such as APC, Turck
+ MMCache, Zend Accelerator or ionCube.</p>
+ <p>Some examples:</p>
+ <table align="center" border="1"><tbody><tr><td><b>Fastest data retrieval using PHP</b></td><td><b>Fastest data retrieval using ADOdb extension</b></td></tr>
+<tr><td>
+<pre>$rs =&amp; $rs-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>while (!$rs-&gt;EOF) {<br> var_dump($rs-&gt;fields);<br> $rs-&gt;MoveNext();<br>}</pre></td><td>
+<pre>$rs =&amp; $rs-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>$array = adodb_getall($rs);<br>var_dump($array);<br><br><br></pre></td></tr></tbody></table>
+ <p><b>Advanced Tips</b>
+ </p><p>If you have the <a href="http://adodb.sourceforge.net/#extension">ADOdb C extension</a> installed,
+ you can replace your calls to $rs-&gt;MoveNext() with adodb_movenext($rs).
+ This doubles the speed of this operation. For retrieving entire recordsets at once,
+use GetArray(), which uses the high speed extension function adodb_getall($rs) internally.
+ </p><p>Execute() is the default way to run queries. You can use the low-level functions _Execute() and _query()
+to reduce query overhead. Both these functions share the same parameters as Execute().
+</p><p>If you do not have any bind parameters or your database supports
+binding (without emulation),
+then you can call _Execute() directly. Calling this function bypasses
+bind emulation. Debugging is still supported in _Execute().
+</p><p>If you do not require debugging facilities nor emulated
+binding, and do not require a recordset to be returned, then you can
+call _query. This is great for inserts, updates and deletes. Calling
+this function
+bypasses emulated binding, debugging, and recordset handling. Either
+the resultid, true or false are returned by _query(). </p><p>For Informix, you can disable scrollable cursors with $db-&gt;cursorType = 0.
+</p><p><a name="hack"></a> </p>
+<h2>Hacking ADOdb Safely</h2>
+<p>You might want to modify ADOdb for your own purposes. Luckily you can
+still maintain backward compatibility by sub-classing ADOdb and using the $ADODB_NEWCONNECTION
+variable. $ADODB_NEWCONNECTION allows you to override the behaviour of ADONewConnection().
+ADOConnection() checks for this variable and will call
+the function-name stored in this variable if it is defined.
+</p><p>In the following example, new functionality for the connection object
+is placed in the <i>hack_mysql</i> and <i>hack_postgres7</i> classes. The recordset class naming convention
+can be controlled using $rsPrefix. Here we set it to 'hack_rs_', which will make ADOdb use
+<i>hack_rs_mysql</i> and <i>hack_rs_postgres7</i> as the recordset classes.
+
+
+</p><pre>class hack_mysql extends adodb_mysql {<br>var $rsPrefix = 'hack_rs_';<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>class hack_rs_mysql extends ADORecordSet_mysql {<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>class hack_postgres7 extends adodb_postgres7 {<br>var $rsPrefix = 'hack_rs_';<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>class hack_rs_postgres7 extends ADORecordSet_postgres7 {<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>$ADODB_NEWCONNECTION = 'hack_factory';<br><br>function&amp; hack_factory($driver)<br>{<br> if ($driver !== 'mysql' &amp;&amp; $driver !== 'postgres7') return false;<br> <br> $driver = 'hack_'.$driver;<br> $obj = new $driver();<br> return $obj;<br>}<br><br>include_once('adodb.inc.php');<br></pre>
+<p></p><p>Don't forget to call the constructor of the parent class in
+your constructor. If you want to use the default ADOdb drivers return
+false in the above hack_factory() function.
+<a name="php5"></a>
+</p><h2>PHP5 Features</h2>
+ ADOdb 4.02 or later will transparently determine which version of PHP you are using.
+If PHP5 is detected, the following features become available:
+<ul>
+
+<li><b>PDO</b>: PDO drivers are available. See the <a href=#pdo>connection examples</a>. Currently PDO drivers are
+ not as powerful as native drivers, and should be treated as experimental.<br><br>
+<a name="php5iterators"></a>
+<li><b>Foreach iterators</b>: This is a very natural way of going through a recordset:
+<pre> $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;<br> $rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);<br> foreach($rs as $k =&gt; $row) {<br> echo "r1=".$row[0]." r2=".$row[1]."&lt;br&gt;";<br> }<br></pre>
+<p>
+<a name="php5exceptions"></a>
+</p></li><li><b>Exceptions</b>: Just include <i>adodb-exceptions.inc.php</i> and you can now
+catch exceptions on errors as they occur.
+<pre> <b>include("../adodb-exceptions.inc.php");</b> <br> include("../adodb.inc.php"); <br> try { <br> $db = NewADOConnection("oci8"); <br> $db-&gt;Connect('','scott','bad-password'); <br> } catch (exception $e) { <br> var_dump($e); <br> adodb_backtrace($e-&gt;gettrace());<br> } <br></pre>
+<p>Note that reaching EOF is <b>not</b> considered an error nor an exception.
+</p></li></ul>

+<h3>Example 1: Select Statement<a name="ex1"></a></h3>
+<p>Task: Connect to the Access Northwind DSN, display the first 2 columns of each
+ row.</p>
+<p>In this example, we create a ADOConnection object, which represents the connection
+ to the database. The connection is initiated with <a href="#pconnect"><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">PConnect</font></a>,
+ which is a persistent connection. Whenever we want to query the database, we
+ call the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ADOConnection.<a href="#execute">Execute</a>()</font>
+ function. This returns an ADORecordSet object which is actually a cursor that
+ holds the current row in the array <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">fields[]</font>.
+ We use <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#movenext">MoveNext</a>()</font>
+ to move from row to row.</p>
+<p>NB: A useful function that is not used in this example is <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#selectlimit">SelectLimit</a></font>,
+ which allows us to limit the number of rows shown.
+</p><pre>&lt;?<br><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind DSN<br>$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font> = &amp;$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Execute('select * from products');<br>if (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>) <br> print $<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;ErrorMsg();<br>else<br><b>while</b> (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;EOF) {<br> <b>print</b> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;fields[0].'

+?&gt;
+</pre>
+<p>The $<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">recordSet</font> returned stores
+ the current row in the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$recordSet-&gt;fields</font>
+ array, indexed by column number (starting from zero). We use the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#movenext">MoveNext</a>()</font>
+ function to move to the next row. The <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">EOF</font>
+ property is set to true when end-of-file is reached. If an error occurs in Execute(),
+ we return false instead of a recordset.</p>
+<p>The <code>$recordSet-&gt;fields[]</code> array is generated by the PHP database
+ extension. Some database extensions only index by number and do not index the
+ array by field name. To force indexing by name - that is associative arrays
+ - use the SetFetchMode function. Each recordset saves and uses whatever fetch
+ mode was set when the recordset was created in Execute() or SelectLimit().
+</p><pre> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);<br> $rs1 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);<br> $rs2 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array([0]=&gt;'v0',[1] =&gt;'v1')</i>
+ print_r($rs2-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=&gt;'v0',['col2'] =&gt;'v1')</i>
+</pre>
+<p> </p>
+<p>To get the number of rows in the select statement, you can use <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$recordSet-&gt;<a href="#recordcount">RecordCount</a>()</font>.
+ Note that it can return -1 if the number of rows returned cannot be determined.</p>
+<h3>Example 2: Advanced Select with Field Objects<a name="ex2"></a></h3>
+<p>Select a table, display the first two columns. If the second column is a date
+ or timestamp, reformat the date to US format.</p>
+<pre>&lt;?<br><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind dsn<br>$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font> = &amp;$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Execute('select CustomerID,OrderDate from Orders');<br>if (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>) <br> print $<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;ErrorMsg();<br>else<br><b>while</b> (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;EOF) {<br> $<font color="#660000">fld</font> = <font color="#336600"><b>$</b><font color="#660000">recordSet</font><b>-&gt;FetchField</b></font><font color="#006600">(</font>1<font color="#006600">);</font>

+ <b>print</b> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;fields[0].' '.$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;fields[1].'&lt;BR&gt;';<br><br> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;MoveNext();<br>}</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">
+$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;Close(); # optional<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Close(); # optional<br></font>
+?&gt;
+</pre>
+<p>In this example, we check the field type of the second column using <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#fetchfield">FetchField</a>().</font>
+ This returns an object with at least 3 fields.</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><b>name</b>: name of column</li>
+ <li> <b>type</b>: native field type of column</li>
+ <li> <b>max_length</b>: maximum length of field. Some databases such as MySQL
+ do not return the maximum length of the field correctly. In these cases max_length
+ will be set to -1.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>We then use <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#metatype">MetaType</a>()</font>
+ to translate the native type to a <i>generic</i> type. Currently the following
+ <i>generic</i> types are defined:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><b>C</b>: character fields that should be shown in a &lt;input type="text"&gt;
+ tag.</li>
+ <li><b>X</b>: TeXt, large text fields that should be shown in a &lt;textarea&gt;</li>
+ <li><b>B</b>: Blobs, or Binary Large Objects. Typically images.
+ </li><li><b>D</b>: Date field</li>
+ <li><b>T</b>: Timestamp field</li>
+ <li><b>L</b>: Logical field (boolean or bit-field)</li>
+ <li><b>I</b>:&nbsp; Integer field</li>
+ <li><b>N</b>: Numeric field. Includes autoincrement, numeric, floating point,
+ real and integer. </li>
+ <li><b>R</b>: Serial field. Includes serial, autoincrement integers. This works
+ for selected databases. </li>
+</ul>
+<p>If the metatype is of type date or timestamp, then we print it using the user
+ defined date format with <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#userdate">UserDate</a>(),</font>
+ which converts the PHP SQL date string format to a user defined one. Another
+ use for <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#metatype">MetaType</a>()</font>
+ is data validation before doing an SQL insert or update.</p>
+<h3>Example 3: Inserting<a name="ex3"></a></h3>
+<p>Insert a row to the Orders table containing dates and strings that need to
+ be quoted before they can be accepted by the database, eg: the single-quote
+ in the word <i>John's</i>.</p>
+<pre>&lt;?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br><br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind dsn<br>$<font color="#660000">shipto</font> = <font color="#006600"><b>$conn-&gt;qstr</b></font>("<i>John's Old Shoppe</i>");<br><br>$<font color="#660000">sql</font> = "insert into orders (customerID,EmployeeID,OrderDate,ShipName) ";<br>$<font color="#660000">sql</font> .= "values ('ANATR',2,".<b><font color="#006600">$conn-&gt;DBDate(</font>time()<font color="#006600">)</font></b><font color="#006600">.</font>",$<font color="#660000">shipto</font>)";<br><br><b>if</b> ($<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Execute($<font color="#660000">sql</font>) <font color="#336600"><b>=== false</b></font>) {<br> <b>print</b> 'error inserting: '.<font color="#336600"><b>$conn-&gt;ErrorMsg()</b></font>.'&lt;BR&gt;';<br>}<br>?&gt;<br></pre>
+<p>In this example, we see the advanced date and quote handling facilities of
+ ADOdb. The unix timestamp (which is a long integer) is appropriately formated
+ for Access with <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#dbdate">DBDate</a>()</font>,
+ and the right escape character is used for quoting the <i>John's Old Shoppe</i>,
+ which is<b> </b><i>John'<b>'</b>s Old Shoppe</i> and not PHP's default <i>John<b>'</b>s
+ Old Shoppe</i> with <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#qstr">qstr</a>()</font>.
+</p>
+<p>Observe the error-handling of the Execute statement. False is returned by<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">
+ <a href="#execute">Execute</a>() </font>if an error occured. The error message
+ for the last error that occurred is displayed in <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#errormsg">ErrorMsg</a>()</font>.
+ Note: <i>php_track_errors</i> might have to be enabled for error messages to
+ be saved.</p>
+<h3> Example 4: Debugging<a name="ex4"></a></h3>
+<pre>&lt;?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind dsn<br><font>$<font color="#663300">shipto</font> = <b>$conn-&gt;qstr</b>("John's Old Shoppe");<br>$<font color="#663300">sql</font> = "insert into orders (customerID,EmployeeID,OrderDate,ShipName) ";<br>$<font color="#663300">sql</font> .= "values ('ANATR',2,".$<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;FormatDate(time()).",$shipto)";<br><b><font color="#336600">$<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;debug = true;</font></b>
+<b>if</b> ($<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;Execute($sql) <b>=== false</b>) <b>print</b> 'error inserting';</font>
+?&gt;
+</pre>
+<p>In the above example, we have turned on debugging by setting <b>debug = true</b>.
+ This will display the SQL statement before execution, and also show any error
+ messages. There is no need to call <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#errormsg">ErrorMsg</a>()</font>
+ in this case. For displaying the recordset, see the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#exrs2html">rs2html</a>()
+ </font>example.</p>
+<p>Also see the section on <a href="#errorhandling">Custom Error Handlers</a>.</p>
+<h3>Example 5: MySQL and Menus<a name="ex5"></a></h3>
+<p>Connect to MySQL database <i>agora</i>, and generate a &lt;select&gt; menu
+ from an SQL statement where the &lt;option&gt; captions are in the 1st column,
+ and the value to send back to the server is in the 2nd column.</p>
+<pre>&lt;?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','','agora');# connect to MySQL, agora db<br><font>$<font color="#663300">sql</font> = 'select CustomerName, CustomerID from customers';<br>$<font color="#663300">rs</font> = $<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;Execute($sql);<br><b>print</b> <b><font color="#336600">$<font color="#663300">rs</font>-&gt;GetMenu('GetCust','Mary Rosli');<br>?&gt;</font></b></font></pre>
+<p>Here we define a menu named GetCust, with the menu option 'Mary Rosli' selected.
+ See <a href="#getmenu"><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">GetMenu</font></a><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">()</font>.
+ We also have functions that return the recordset as an array: <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#getarray">GetArray</a>()</font>,
+ and as an associative array with the key being the first column: <a href="#getassoc1">GetAssoc</a>().</p>
+<h3>Example 6: Connecting to 2 Databases At Once<a name="ex6"></a></h3>
+<pre>&lt;?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#663300">conn1</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a mysql connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn2</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('oracle'); # create a oracle connection<br><br>$conn1-&gt;PConnect($server, $userid, $password, $database);<br>$conn2-&gt;PConnect(false, $ora_userid, $ora_pwd, $oraname);<br><br>$conn1-&gt;Execute('insert ...');<br>$conn2-&gt;Execute('update ...');<br>?&gt;</pre>
+<p>
+</p><h3>Example 7: Generating Update and Insert SQL<a name="ex7"></a></h3>
+<p>Since ADOdb 4.56, we support <a href="reference.functions.getupdatesql.html#autoexecute">AutoExecute()</a>,
+which simplifies things by providing an advanced wrapper for GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL(). For example,
+an INSERT can be carried out with:
+
+<pre>
+ $record["firstname"] = "Bob";
+ $record["lastname"] = "Smith";
+ $record["created"] = time();
+ $insertSQL = $conn->AutoExecute($rs, $record, 'INSERT');
+</pre>
+
+and an UPDATE with:
+<pre>
+ $record["firstname"] = "Caroline";
+ $record["lastname"] = "Smith"; # Update Caroline's lastname from Miranda to Smith
+ $insertSQL = $conn->AutoExecute($rs, $record, 'UPDATE', 'id = 1');
+</pre>
+<p>
+The rest of this section is out-of-date:
+<p>ADOdb 1.31 and later supports two new recordset functions: GetUpdateSQL( ) and
+GetInsertSQL( ). This allow you to perform a "SELECT * FROM table query WHERE...",
+make a copy of the $rs-&gt;fields, modify the fields, and then generate the SQL to
+update or insert into the table automatically.
+<p> We show how the functions can be used when accessing a table with the following
+ fields: (ID, FirstName, LastName, Created).
+</p><p> Before these functions can be called, you need to initialize the recordset
+ by performing a select on the table. Idea and code by Jonathan Younger jyounger#unilab.com.
+ Since ADOdb 2.42, you can pass a table name instead of a recordset into
+GetInsertSQL (in $rs), and it will generate an insert statement for that table.

+<b>$ADODB_FORCE_TYPE</b><p>
+The behaviour of AutoExecute(), GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL()
+when converting empty or null PHP variables to SQL is controlled by the
+ global $ADODB_FORCE_TYPE variable. Set it to one of the values below. Default
+ is ADODB_FORCE_VALUE (3):
+</p><pre>0 = ignore empty fields. All empty fields in array are ignored.<br>1 = force null. All empty, php null and string 'null' fields are changed to sql NULL values.<br>2 = force empty. All empty, php null and string 'null' fields are changed to sql empty '' or 0 values.<br>3 = force value. Value is left as it is. Php null and string 'null' are set to sql NULL values and <br> empty fields '' are set to empty '' sql values.<br><br>define('ADODB_FORCE_IGNORE',0);<br>define('ADODB_FORCE_NULL',1);<br>define('ADODB_FORCE_EMPTY',2);<br>define('ADODB_FORCE_VALUE',3);<br></pre>
+<p>
+Thanks to Niko (nuko#mbnet.fi) for the $ADODB_FORCE_TYPE code.
+</p><p>
+Note: the constant ADODB_FORCE_NULLS is obsolete since 4.52 and is ignored. Set $ADODB_FORCE_TYPE = ADODB_FORCE_NULL
+for equivalent behaviour.
+<p>Since 4.62, the table name to be used can be overridden by setting $rs->tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is called.
+</p><h3>Example 8: Implementing Scrolling with Next and Previous<a name="ex8"></a></h3>
+<p> The following code creates a very simple recordset pager, where you can scroll
+ from page to page of a recordset.</p>
+<pre>include_once('../adodb.inc.php');<br>include_once('../adodb-pager.inc.php');<br>session_start();<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br><br>$db-&gt;Connect('localhost','root','','xphplens');<br><br>$sql = "select * from adoxyz ";<br><br>$pager = new ADODB_Pager($db,$sql);<br>$pager-&gt;Render($rows_per_page=5);</pre>
+<p>This will create a basic record pager that looks like this: <a name="scr"></a>
+</p><p>
+<table bgcolor="beige" border="1">
+ <tbody><tr>
+ <td> <a href="#scr"><code>|&lt;</code></a> &nbsp; <a href="#scr"><code>&lt;&lt;</code></a>

+</tbody></table>
+</p><p>The number of rows to display at one time is controled by the Render($rows)
+ method. If you do not pass any value to Render(), ADODB_Pager will default to
+ 10 records per page.
+</p><p>You can control the column titles by modifying your SQL (supported by most
+ databases):
+</p><pre>$sql = 'select id as "ID", firstname as "First Name", <br> lastname as "Last Name", created as "Date Created" <br> from adoxyz';</pre>
+<p>The above code can be found in the <i>adodb/tests/testpaging.php</i> example
+ included with this release, and the class ADODB_Pager in <i>adodb/adodb-pager.inc.php</i>.
+ The ADODB_Pager code can be adapted by a programmer so that the text links can
+ be replaced by images, and the dull white background be replaced with more interesting
+ colors.
+</p><p>You can also allow display of html by setting $pager-&gt;htmlSpecialChars = false.
+</p><p>Some of the code used here was contributed by Iv&aacute;n Oliva and Cornel
+ G. </p>
+<h3><a name="ex9"></a>Example 9: Exporting in CSV or Tab-Delimited Format</h3>
+<p>We provide some helper functions to export in comma-separated-value (CSV) and
+ tab-delimited formats:</p>
+<pre><b>include_once('/path/to/adodb/toexport.inc.php');</b><br>include_once('/path/to/adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br>
+$db = &amp;NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db-&gt;Connect($server, $userid, $password, $database);<br><br>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select fname as "First Name", surname as "Surname" from table');<br><br>print "&lt;pre&gt;";<br>print <b>rs2csv</b>($rs); # return a string, CSV format<p>print '&lt;hr&gt;';<br><br>$rs-&gt;MoveFirst(); # note, some databases do not support MoveFirst<br>print <b>rs2tab</b>($rs,<i>false</i>); # return a string, tab-delimited<br> # false == suppress field names in first line</p>print '&lt;hr&gt;';<br>$rs-&gt;MoveFirst();<br><b>rs2tabout</b>($rs); # send to stdout directly (there is also an rs2csvout function)<br>print "&lt;/pre&gt;";<br><br>$rs-&gt;MoveFirst();<br>$fp = fopen($path, "w");<br>if ($fp) {<br> <b>rs2csvfile</b>($rs, $fp); # write to file (there is also an rs2tabfile function)<br> fclose($fp);<br>}<br></pre>
+<p> Carriage-returns or newlines are converted to spaces. Field names are returned
+ in the first line of text. Strings containing the delimiter character are quoted
+ with double-quotes. Double-quotes are double-quoted again. This conforms to
+ Excel import and export guide-lines.
+</p><p>All the above functions take as an optional last parameter, $addtitles which
+ defaults to <i>true</i>. When set to <i>false</i> field names in the first line
+ are suppressed. <br>
+</p><h3>Example 10: Recordset Filters<a name="ex10"></a></h3>
+<p>Sometimes we want to pre-process all rows in a recordset before we use it.
+ For example, we want to ucwords all text in recordset.
+</p><pre>include_once('adodb/rsfilter.inc.php');<br>include_once('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br><br>// ucwords() every element in the recordset<br>function do_ucwords(&amp;$arr,$rs)<br>{<br> foreach($arr as $k =&gt; $v) {<br> $arr[$k] = ucwords($v);<br> }<br>}<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db-&gt;PConnect('server','user','pwd','db');<br><br>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select ... from table');<br>$rs = <b>RSFilter</b>($rs,'do_ucwords');<br></pre>
+<p>The <i>RSFilter</i> function takes 2 parameters, the recordset, and the name
+ of the <i>filter</i> function. It returns the processed recordset scrolled to
+ the first record. The <i>filter</i> function takes two parameters, the current
+ row as an array, and the recordset object. For future compatibility, you should
+ not use the original recordset object. </p>
+<h3>Example 11:<a name="ex11"></a> Smart Transactions</h3>
+The old way of doing transactions required you to use
+<pre>$conn-&gt;<b>BeginTrans</b>();<br>$ok = $conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if ($ok) $ok = $conn-&gt;Execute($sql2);<br>if (!$ok) $conn-&gt;<b>RollbackTrans</b>();<br>else $conn-&gt;<b>CommitTrans</b>();<br></pre>
+This is very complicated for large projects because you have to track the error
+status. Smart Transactions is much simpler. You start a smart transaction by calling
+StartTrans():
+<pre>$conn-&gt;<b>StartTrans</b>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);<br>$conn-&gt;<b>CompleteTrans</b>();<br></pre>
+CompleteTrans() detects when an SQL error occurs, and will Rollback/Commit as
+appropriate. To specificly force a rollback even if no error occured, use FailTrans().
+Note that the rollback is done in CompleteTrans(), and not in FailTrans().
+<pre>$conn-&gt;<b>StartTrans</b>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if (!CheckRecords()) $conn-&gt;<strong>FailTrans</strong>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);<br>$conn-&gt;<b>CompleteTrans</b>();<br></pre>
+<p>You can also check if a transaction has failed, using HasFailedTrans(), which
+ returns true if FailTrans() was called, or there was an error in the SQL execution.
+ Make sure you call HasFailedTrans() before you call CompleteTrans(), as it is
+ only works between StartTrans/CompleteTrans.
+</p><p>Lastly, StartTrans/CompleteTrans is nestable, and only the outermost block
+ is executed. In contrast, BeginTrans/CommitTrans/RollbackTrans is NOT nestable.
+</p><pre>$conn-&gt;<strong>StartTrans</strong>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br> $conn-&gt;<strong>StartTrans</strong>(); <font color="#006600"># ignored</font>
+ if (!CheckRecords()) $conn-&gt;FailTrans();
+ $conn-&gt;<strong>CompleteTrans</strong>(); <font color="#006600"># ignored</font>
+$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);
+$conn-&gt;<strong>CompleteTrans</strong>();<br></pre>
+<p>Note: Savepoints are currently not supported.
+</p><h2><a name="errorhandling"></a>Using Custom Error Handlers and PEAR_Error</h2>
+<p>ADOdb supports PHP5 exceptions. Just include <i>adodb-exceptions.inc.php</i> and you can now
+catch exceptions on errors as they occur.
+</p><pre> <b>include("../adodb-exceptions.inc.php");</b> <br> include("../adodb.inc.php"); <br> try { <br> $db = NewADOConnection("oci8://scott:bad-password@mytns/"); <br> } catch (exception $e) { <br> var_dump($e); <br> adodb_backtrace($e-&gt;gettrace());<br> } <br></pre>
+<p> ADOdb also provides two custom handlers which you can modify for your needs. The
+ first one is in the <b>adodb-errorhandler.inc.php</b> file. This makes use of
+ the standard PHP functions <a href="http://php.net/error_reporting">error_reporting</a>
+ to control what error messages types to display, and <a href="http://php.net/trigger_error">trigger_error</a>
+ which invokes the default PHP error handler.
+</p><p> Including the above file will cause <i>trigger_error($errorstring,E_USER_ERROR)</i>
+ to be called when<br>
+ (a) Connect() or PConnect() fails, or <br>
+ (b) a function that executes SQL statements such as Execute() or SelectLimit()
+ has an error.<br>
+ (c) GenID() appears to go into an infinite loop.
+</p><p> The $errorstring is generated by ADOdb and will contain useful debugging information
+ similar to the error.log data generated below. This file adodb-errorhandler.inc.php
+ should be included before you create any ADOConnection objects.
+</p><p> If you define error_reporting(0), no errors will be passed to the error handler.
+ If you set error_reporting(E_ALL), all errors will be passed to the error handler.
+ You still need to use <b>ini_set("display_errors", "0" or "1")</b> to control
+ the display of errors.
+</p><pre>&lt;?php<br><b>error_reporting(E_ALL); # pass any error messages triggered to error handler<br>include('adodb-errorhandler.inc.php');</b>
+include('adodb.inc.php');
+include('tohtml.inc.php');
+$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
+$c-&gt;PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
+$rs=$c-&gt;Execute('select * from productsz'); #invalid table productsz');
+if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
+?&gt;
+</pre>
+<p> If you want to log the error message, you can do so by defining the following
+ optional constants ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE and ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST. ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE
+ is the error log message type (see <a href="http://php.net/error_log">error_log</a>
+ in the PHP manual). In this case we set it to 3, which means log to the file
+ defined by the constant ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST.
+</p><pre>&lt;?php<br><b>error_reporting(E_ALL); # report all errors<br>ini_set("display_errors", "0"); # but do not echo the errors<br>define('ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE',3);<br>define('ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST','C:/errors.log');<br>include('adodb-errorhandler.inc.php');</b>
+include('adodb.inc.php');
+include('tohtml.inc.php');
+
+$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
+$c-&gt;PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
+$rs=$c-&gt;Execute('select * from productsz'); ## invalid table productsz
+if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
+?&gt;
+</pre>
+The following message will be logged in the error.log file:
+<pre>(2001-10-28 14:20:38) mysql error: [1146: Table 'northwind.productsz' doesn't exist] in<br> EXECUTE("select * from productsz")<br></pre>
+<h3>PEAR_ERROR</h3>
+The second error handler is <b>adodb-errorpear.inc.php</b>. This will create a
+PEAR_Error derived object whenever an error occurs. The last PEAR_Error object
+created can be retrieved using ADODB_Pear_Error().
+<pre>&lt;?php<br><b>include('adodb-errorpear.inc.php');</b>
+include('adodb.inc.php');
+include('tohtml.inc.php');
+$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
+$c-&gt;PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
+$rs=$c-&gt;Execute('select * from productsz'); #invalid table productsz');
+if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
+else {
+ <b>$e = ADODB_Pear_Error();<br> echo '&lt;p&gt;',$e-&gt;message,'&lt;/p&gt;';</b>
+}
+?&gt;
+</pre>
+<p> You can use a PEAR_Error derived class by defining the constant ADODB_PEAR_ERROR_CLASS
+ before the adodb-errorpear.inc.php file is included. For easy debugging, you
+ can set the default error handler in the beginning of the PHP script to PEAR_ERROR_DIE,
+ which will cause an error message to be printed, then halt script execution:
+</p><pre>include('PEAR.php');<br>PEAR::setErrorHandling('PEAR_ERROR_DIE');<br></pre>
+<p> Note that we do not explicitly return a PEAR_Error object to you when an error
+ occurs. We return false instead. You have to call ADODB_Pear_Error() to get
+ the last error or use the PEAR_ERROR_DIE technique.
+</p>
+<h3>MetaError and MetaErrMsg</h3>
+ <p>If you need error messages that work across multiple databases, then use <a href="#metaerror">MetaError()</a>, which returns a virtualized error number, based on PEAR DB's error number system, and <a href=<a href="#metaerrmsg">MetaErrMsg()</a>.
+
+<h4>Error Messages</h4>
+<p>Error messages are outputted using the static method ADOConnnection::outp($msg,$newline=true).
+ By default, it sends the messages to the client. You can override this to perform
+ error-logging.
+</p><h2><a name="dsn"></a> Data Source Names</h2>
+<p>We now support connecting using PEAR style DSN's. A DSN is a connection string
+ of the form:</p>
+<p>$dsn = <i>"$driver://$username:$password@$hostname/$databasename"</i>;</p>
+<p>An example:</p>
+<pre> $username = 'root';<br> $password = '';<br> $hostname = 'localhost';<br> $databasename = 'xphplens';<br> $driver = 'mysql';<br> $dsn = "$driver://$username:$password@$hostname/$databasename"<br> $db = NewADOConnection(); <br> # DB::Connect($dsn) also works if you include 'adodb/adodb-pear.inc.php' at the top<br> $rs = $db-&gt;query('select firstname,lastname from adoxyz');<br> $cnt = 0;<br> while ($arr = $rs-&gt;fetchRow()) {<br> print_r($arr); print "&lt;br&gt;";<br> }</pre>
+ <p></p>
+<p> <a href="#dsnsupport">More info and connection examples</a> on the DSN format.
+
+</p><h2><a name="pear"></a>PEAR Compatibility</h2>
+ We support DSN's (see above), and the following functions:
+ <pre><b> DB_Common</b>
+ query - returns PEAR_Error on error
+ limitQuery - return PEAR_Error on error
+ prepare - does not return PEAR_Error on error
+ execute - does not return PEAR_Error on error
+ setFetchMode - supports ASSOC and ORDERED
+ errorNative
+ quote
+ nextID
+ disconnect
+
+ getOne
+ getAssoc
+ getRow
+ getCol
+
+<b> DB_Result</b>
+ numRows - returns -1 if not supported
+ numCols
+ fetchInto - does not support passing of fetchmode
+ fetchRows - does not support passing of fetchmode
+ free
+</pre>
+<h2><a name="caching"></a>Caching of Recordsets</h2>
+<p>ADOdb now supports caching of recordsets using the CacheExecute( ), CachePageExecute(
+ ) and CacheSelectLimit( ) functions. There are similar to the non-cache functions,
+ except that they take a new first parameter, $secs2cache.
+</p><p> An example:
+</p><pre><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/usr/ADODB_cache';<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','','agora');# connect to MySQL, agora db<br><font>$<font color="#663300">sql</font> = 'select CustomerName, CustomerID from customers';<br>$<font color="#663300">rs</font> = $<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;CacheExecute(15,$sql);</font></pre>
+<p><font> The first parameter is the number of seconds to cache
+ the query. Subsequent calls to that query will used the cached version stored
+ in $ADODB_CACHE_DIR. To force a query to execute and flush the cache, call CacheExecute()
+ with the first parameter set to zero. Alternatively, use the CacheFlush($sql)
+ call. </font></p>
+<p><font>For the sake of security, we recommend you set <i>register_globals=off</i>
+ in php.ini if you are using $ADODB_CACHE_DIR.</font></p>
+<p>In ADOdb 1.80 onwards, the secs2cache parameter is optional in CacheSelectLimit()
+ and CacheExecute(). If you leave it out, it will use the $connection-&gt;cacheSecs
+ parameter, which defaults to 60 minutes.
+</p><pre> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> $conn-&gt;cacheSecs = 3600*24; # cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;CacheExecute('select * from table');<br></pre>
+<p>Please note that magic_quotes_runtime should be turned off. <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?LeNs#LensBM_forummsg">More
+ info</a>, and do not change $ADODB_FETCH_MODE (or SetFetchMode)
+ as the cached recordset will use the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE set when the query was executed. <font>
+<h2><a name="pivot"></a>Pivot Tables</h2>
+</font> </p><p><font>Since ADOdb 2.30, we support the generation of
+SQL to create pivot tables, also known as cross-tabulations. For further explanation
+read this DevShed <a href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/MySQLWiz/">Cross-Tabulation
+tutorial</a>. We assume that your database supports the SQL case-when expression. </font></p>
+<font>
+<p>In this example, we will use the Northwind database from Microsoft. In the
+ database, we have a products table, and we want to analyze this table by <i>suppliers
+ versus product categories</i>. We will place the suppliers on each row, and
+ pivot on categories. So from the table on the left, we generate the pivot-table
+ on the right:</p>
+</font>
+<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
+ <tbody><tr>
+ <td>
+ <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="142">
+ <tbody><tr>
+ <td><i>Supplier</i></td>
+ <td><i>Category</i></td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td>supplier1</td>
+ <td>category1</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td>supplier2</td>
+ <td>category1</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td>supplier2</td>
+ <td>category2</td>
+ </tr>
+ </tbody></table>
+ </td>
+ <td> <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">--&gt;</font></td>
+ <td>
+ <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
+ <tbody><tr>
+ <td>&nbsp;</td>

+ <tr>
+ <td><i>supplier2</i></td>
+ <td align="right">1</td>
+ <td align="right">1</td>
+ <td align="right">2</td>
+ </tr>
+ </tbody></table>
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+</tbody></table>
+<font>
+</font><p><font>The following code will generate the SQL for a cross-tabulation:
+</font></p><pre><font># Query the main "product" table<br># Set the rows to SupplierName<br># and the columns to the values of Categories<br># and define the joins to link to lookup tables <br># "categories" and "suppliers"<br>#<br> include "adodb/pivottable.inc.php";<br> $sql = PivotTableSQL(<br> $gDB, # adodb connection<br> 'products p ,categories c ,suppliers s', # tables<br> 'SupplierName', # rows (multiple fields allowed)<br> 'CategoryName', # column to pivot on <br> 'p.CategoryID = c.CategoryID and s.SupplierID= p.SupplierID' # joins/where<br>);<br></font></pre>
+
+<p><font> This will generate the following SQL:</font></p>
+<p><code><font size="2">SELECT SupplierName, <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Beverages' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Beverages",
+ <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Condiments' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Condiments",
+ <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Confections' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Confections",
+ <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Dairy Products' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Dairy
+ Products", <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Grains/Cereals' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Grains/Cereals",
+ <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Meat/Poultry' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Meat/Poultry",
+ <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Produce' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Produce",
+ <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN CategoryName='Seafood' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "Seafood",

+ SUM(1) as Total <br>
+ FROM products p ,categories c ,suppliers s WHERE p.CategoryID = c.CategoryID
+ and s.SupplierID= p.SupplierID <br>
+ GROUP BY SupplierName</font></code></p>
+<p> You can also pivot on <i>numerical columns</i> and <i>generate totals</i>
+ by using ranges. <font>This code was revised in ADODB 2.41
+ and is not backward compatible.</font> The second example shows this:</p>
+<pre> $sql = PivotTableSQL(<br> $gDB, # adodb connection<br> 'products p ,categories c ,suppliers s', # tables<br> 'SupplierName', #<font> rows (multiple fields allowed)</font>
+ array( # column ranges
+ ' 0 ' =&gt; 'UnitsInStock &lt;= 0',
+ "1 to 5" =&gt; '0 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 5',
+ "6 to 10" =&gt; '5 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 10',
+ "11 to 15" =&gt; '10 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 15',
+ "16+" =&gt; '15 &lt; UnitsInStock'
+ ),
+ ' p.CategoryID = c.CategoryID and s.SupplierID= p.SupplierID', # joins/where
+ 'UnitsInStock', # sum this field
+ 'Sum ' # sum label prefix
+);
+</pre>
+<p>Which generates: </p>
+<p> <code> <font size="2">SELECT SupplierName, <br>
+ SUM(CASE WHEN UnitsInStock &lt;= 0 THEN UnitsInStock ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum

+<h2>Global Variables</h2>
+<h3><font><a name="adodb_countrecs"></a></font>$ADODB_COUNTRECS</h3>
+<p>If the database driver API does not support counting the number of records

+ We emulate this by buffering the records, which can take up large amounts

+<p><font>Determines the language used in MetaErrorMsg(). The default is 'en', for English.
+To find out what languages are supported, see the files
+in adodb/lang/adodb-$lang.inc.php, where $lang is the supported langauge.
+</font></p><h3><font><a name="adodb_fetch_mode"></a>$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</font></h3>
+<p><font>This is a global variable that determines how arrays are retrieved by recordsets.
+ The recordset saves this value on creation (eg. in Execute( ) or SelectLimit(
+ )), and any subsequent changes to $ADODB_FETCH_MODE have no affect on existing
+ recordsets, only on recordsets created in the future.</font></p>
+<p><font>The following constants are defined:</font></p>
+
+<p><font>define('ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT',0);<br>
+ define('ADODB_FETCH_NUM',1);<br>
+ define('ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC',2);<br>
+ define('ADODB_FETCH_BOTH',3); </font></p>
+<font>
+</font><p><font> An example:
+</font></p><pre><font> $ADODB_<b>FETCH_MODE</b> = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;<br> $rs1 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> $ADODB_<b>FETCH_MODE</b> = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC;<br> $rs2 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array([0]=&gt;'v0',[1] =&gt;'v1')</i>
+ print_r($rs2-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=&gt;'v0',['col2'] =&gt;'v1')</i>
+</font></pre>
+<p><font> As you can see in the above example, both recordsets store and use different
+ fetch modes based on the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE setting when the recordset was
+ created by Execute().</font></p>
+<p><font>If no fetch mode is predefined, the fetch mode defaults to ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT.
+ The behaviour of this default mode varies from driver to driver, so do not
+ rely on ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT. For portability, we recommend sticking to ADODB_FETCH_NUM
+ or ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. Many drivers do not support ADODB_FETCH_BOTH.</font></p>
+<p><font><strong>SetFetchMode Function</strong></font></p>
+<p><font>If you have multiple connection objects, and want to have different fetch modes for each
+connection, then use <a href="#setfetchmode">SetFetchMode</a>.
+ Once this function is called for a connection object, that connection object
+ will ignore the global variable $ADODB_FETCH_MODE and will use the internal
+ fetchMode property exclusively.</font></p>
+<pre><font> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);<br> $rs1 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);<br> $rs2 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array([0]=&gt;'v0',[1] =&gt;'v1')</i>
+ print_r($rs2-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=&gt;'v0',['col2'] =&gt;'v1')</i></font></pre>
+<p><font>To retrieve the previous fetch mode, you can use check the $db-&gt;fetchMode
+ property, or use the return value of SetFetchMode( ).
+</font></p><p><font><strong><a name="adodb_assoc_case"></a>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE</strong></font></p>
+<p><font>You can control the associative fetch case for certain drivers which behave
+ differently. For the sybase, oci8po, mssql, odbc and ibase drivers and all
+ drivers derived from them, ADODB_ASSOC_CASE will by default generate recordsets
+ where the field name keys are lower-cased. Use the constant ADODB_ASSOC_CASE
+ to change the case of the keys. There are 3 possible values:</font></p>
+<p><font>0 = assoc lowercase field names. $rs-&gt;fields['orderid']<br>
+ 1 = assoc uppercase field names. $rs-&gt;fields['ORDERID']<br>
+ 2 = use native-case field names. $rs-&gt;fields['OrderID'] -- this is the
+ default since ADOdb 2.90</font></p>
+<p><font>To use it, declare it before you incldue adodb.inc.php.</font></p>
+<p><font>define('ADODB_ASSOC_CASE', 2); # use native-case for ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC<br>

+<hr />
+<h3><font>ADOConnection Main Functions</font></h3>
+<p><font><b>ADOConnection( )</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Constructor function. Do not call this directly. Use ADONewConnection( ) instead.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>Connect<a name="connect"></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Non-persistent connect to data source or server $<b>host</b>, using userid
+ $<b>user </b>and password $<b>password</b>. If the server supports multiple
+ databases, connect to database $<b>database</b>. </font></p>
+<p><font>Returns true/false depending on connection success. Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded.</font></p>
+<p><font>ADO Note: If you are using a Microsoft ADO and not OLEDB, you can set the $database
+ parameter to the OLEDB data provider you are using.</font></p>
+<p><font>PostgreSQL: An alternative way of connecting to the database is to pass the
+ standard PostgreSQL connection string in the first parameter $host, and the
+ other parameters will be ignored.</font></p>
+<p><font>For Oracle and Oci8, there are two ways to connect. First is to use the TNS
+ name defined in your local tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES). Place the
+ name in the $database field, and set the $host field to false. Alternatively,
+ set $host to the server, and $database to the database SID, this bypassed
+ tnsnames.ora.
+</font></p><p><font>Examples:
+</font></p><pre><font> # $oraname in tnsnames.ora/ONAMES/HOSTNAMES<br> $conn-&gt;Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', $oraname); <br> $conn-&gt;Connect('server:1521', 'scott', 'tiger', 'ServiceName'); # bypass tnsnames.ora</font></pre>
+<p><font>There are many examples of connecting to a database.
+See <a href="#connect_ex">Connection Examples</a> for many examples.
+
+</font></p><p><font><b>PConnect<a name="pconnect"></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Persistent connect to data source or server $<b>host</b>, using userid $<b>user</b>
+ and password $<b>password</b>. If the server supports multiple databases,
+ connect to database $<b>database</b>.</font></p>
+<p><font>We now perform a rollback on persistent connection for selected databases since
+ 2.21, as advised in the PHP manual. See change log or source code for which
+ databases are affected.
+</font></p><p><font>Returns true/false depending on connection. Since 4.23, 0 is returned if the extension is not loaded.
+See Connect( ) above for more info.</font></p>
+<p><font>Since ADOdb 2.21, we also support autoRollback. If you set:</font></p>
+
+<pre> $conn = &amp;NewADOConnection('mysql');<br> $conn-&gt;autoRollback = true; # default is false<br> $conn-&gt;PConnect(...); # rollback here</pre>
+<p> Then when doing a persistent connection with PConnect( ), ADOdb will
+ perform a rollback first. This is because it is documented that PHP is
+ not guaranteed to rollback existing failed transactions when
+ persistent connections are used. This is implemented in Oracle,
+ MySQL, PgSQL, MSSQL, ODBC currently.
+</p><p>Since ADOdb 3.11, you can force non-persistent
+connections even if PConnect is called by defining the constant
+ADODB_NEVER_PERSIST before you call PConnect.
+</p><p>
+Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded.
+</p><p><b>NConnect<a name="nconnect"></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></p>
+<p>Always force a new connection. In contrast, PHP sometimes reuses connections
+ when you use Connect() or PConnect(). Currently works only on mysql (PHP 4.3.0
+ or later), postgresql and oci8-derived drivers. For other drivers, NConnect() works like
+ Connect().</p>
+<p><font><b>IsConnected( )<a name="isconnected"></a></b></font></p>
+<p>
+<font>Returns true if connected to database. Added in 4.53.
+
+</font></p><p><font><b>Execute<a name="execute"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Execute SQL statement $<b>sql</b> and return derived class of ADORecordSet
+ if successful. Note that a record set is always returned on success, even
+ if we are executing an insert or update statement. You can also pass in $sql a statement prepared
+ in <a href="#prepare">Prepare()</a>.</font></p>
+<p><font>Returns derived class of ADORecordSet. Eg. if connecting via mysql, then ADORecordSet_mysql
+ would be returned. False is returned if there was an error in executing the
+ sql.</font></p>
+<p><font>The $inputarr parameter can be used for binding variables to parameters. Below
+ is an Oracle example:</font></p>
+<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Execute("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val", array('val'=&gt; $val));<br> </font></pre>
+<p><font>Another example, using ODBC,which uses the ? convention:</font></p>
+<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Execute("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?", array($val));<br></font></pre>
+<font><a name="binding"></a>
+<i>Binding variables</i></font><p>
+<font>Variable binding speeds the compilation and caching of SQL statements, leading
+to higher performance. Currently Oracle, Interbase and ODBC supports variable binding.
+Interbase/ODBC style ? binding is emulated in databases that do not support binding.
+Note that you do not have to quote strings if you use binding.
+</font></p><p><font> Variable binding in the odbc, interbase and oci8po drivers.
+</font></p><pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table where val=?', array('10'));<br></font></pre>
+<font>Variable binding in the oci8 driver:
+</font><pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select name from table where val=:key', <br> array('key' =&gt; 10));<br></font></pre>
+<font><a name="bulkbind"></a>
+<i>Bulk binding</i>
+</font><p><font>Since ADOdb 3.80, we support bulk binding in Execute(), in which you pass in a 2-dimensional array to
+be bound to an INSERT/UPDATE or DELETE statement.
+</font></p><pre><font>$arr = array(<br> array('Ahmad',32),<br> array('Zulkifli', 24),<br> array('Rosnah', 21)<br> );<br>$ok = $db-&gt;Execute('insert into table (name,age) values (?,?)',$arr);<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>This provides very high performance as the SQL statement is prepared first.
+The prepared statement is executed repeatedly for each array row until all rows are completed,
+or until the first error. Very useful for importing data.
+
+</font></p><p><font><b>CacheExecute<a name="cacheexecute"></a>([$secs2cache,]$sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Similar to Execute, except that the recordset is cached for $secs2cache seconds
+ in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory, and $inputarr only accepts 1-dimensional arrays.
+ If CacheExecute() is called again with the same $sql, $inputarr,
+ and also the same database, same userid, and the cached recordset
+ has not expired, the cached recordset is returned.
+</font></p><pre><font> include('adodb.inc.php'); <br> include('tohtml.inc.php');<br> $ADODB_<b>CACHE_DIR</b> = '/usr/local/ADOdbcache';<br> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql'); <br> $conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;<b>CacheExecute</b>(15, 'select * from table'); # cache 15 secs<br> rs2html($rs); /* recordset to html table */ <br></font></pre>
+<p><font> Alternatively, since ADOdb 1.80, the $secs2cache parameter is optional:</font></p>
+<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> $conn-&gt;cacheSecs = 3600*24; // cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;CacheExecute('select * from table');<br></font></pre>
+<font>If $secs2cache is omitted, we use the value
+in $connection-&gt;cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour). Use CacheExecute()
+only with SELECT statements.
+</font><p><font>Performance note: I have done some benchmarks and found that they vary so greatly
+ that it's better to talk about when caching is of benefit. When your database
+ server is <i>much slower </i>than your Web server or the database is <i>very
+ overloaded </i>then ADOdb's caching is good because it reduces the load on
+ your database server. If your database server is lightly loaded or much faster
+ than your Web server, then caching could actually reduce performance. </font></p>
+<p><font><b>ExecuteCursor<a name="executecursor"></a>($sql,$cursorName='rs',$parameters=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Execute an Oracle stored procedure, and returns an Oracle REF cursor variable as
+ a regular ADOdb recordset. Does not work with any other database except oci8.
+ Thanks to Robert Tuttle for the design.
+</font></p><pre><font> $db = ADONewConnection("oci8"); <br> $db-&gt;Connect("foo.com:1521", "uid", "pwd", "FOO"); <br> $rs = $db-&gt;ExecuteCursor("begin :cursorvar := getdata(:param1); end;", <br> 'cursorvar',<br> array('param1'=&gt;10)); <br> # $rs is now just like any other ADOdb recordset object<br> rs2html($rs);</font></pre>
+<p><font>ExecuteCursor() is a helper function that does the following internally:
+</font></p><pre><font> $stmt = $db-&gt;Prepare("begin :cursorvar := getdata(:param1); end;", true); <br> $db-&gt;Parameter($stmt, $cur, 'cursorvar', false, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);<br> $rs = $db-&gt;Execute($stmt,$bindarr);<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>ExecuteCursor only accepts 1 out parameter. So if you have 2 out parameters, use:
+</font></p><pre><font> $vv = 'A%';<br> $stmt = $db-&gt;PrepareSP("BEGIN list_tabs(:crsr,:tt); END;");<br> $db-&gt;OutParameter($stmt, $cur, 'crsr', -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);<br> $db-&gt;OutParameter($stmt, $vv, 'tt', 32); # return varchar(32)<br> $arr = $db-&gt;GetArray($stmt);<br> print_r($arr);<br> echo " val = $vv"; ## outputs 'TEST'<br></font></pre>
+<font>for the following PL/SQL:
+</font><pre><font> TYPE TabType IS REF CURSOR RETURN TAB%ROWTYPE;<br><br> PROCEDURE list_tabs(tabcursor IN OUT TabType,tablenames IN OUT VARCHAR) IS<br> BEGIN<br> OPEN tabcursor FOR SELECT * FROM TAB WHERE tname LIKE tablenames;<br> tablenames := 'TEST';<br> END list_tabs;<br></font></pre>
+<p><font><b>SelectLimit<a name="selectlimit"></a>($sql,$numrows=-1,$offset=-1,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns a recordset if successful. Returns false otherwise. Performs a select
+ statement, simulating PostgreSQL's SELECT statement, LIMIT $numrows OFFSET
+ $offset clause.</font></p>
+<p><font>In PostgreSQL, SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 3 will return the first 3 records
+ only. The equivalent is <code>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT * FROM TABLE',3)</code>.
+ This functionality is simulated for databases that do not possess this feature.</font></p>
+<p><font>And SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 3 OFFSET 2 will return records 3, 4 and 5 (eg.
+ after record 2, return 3 rows). The equivalent in ADOdb is <code>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT
+ * FROM TABLE',3,2)</code>.</font></p>
+<p><font>Note that this is the <i>opposite</i> of MySQL's LIMIT clause. You can also
+ set <code>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT * FROM TABLE',-1,10)</code> to
+ get rows 11 to the last row.</font></p>
+<p><font>The last parameter $inputarr is for databases that support variable binding
+ such as Oracle oci8. This substantially reduces SQL compilation overhead.
+ Below is an Oracle example:</font></p>
+<pre><font> $conn-&gt;SelectLimit("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val", 100,-1,array('val'=&gt; $val));<br> </font></pre>
+<p><font>The oci8po driver (oracle portable driver) uses the more standard bind variable
+ of ?:
+</font></p><pre><font> $conn-&gt;SelectLimit("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?", 100,-1,array('val'=&gt; $val));<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>
+</font></p><p><font>Ron Wilson reports that SelectLimit does not work with UNIONs.
+</font></p><p><font><b>CacheSelectLimit<a name="cacheselectlimit"></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql, $numrows=-1,$offset=-1,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Similar to SelectLimit, except that the recordset returned is cached for $secs2cache
+ seconds in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory. </font></p>
+<p><font>Since 1.80, $secs2cache has been optional, and you can define the caching time
+ in $connection-&gt;cacheSecs.</font></p>
+
+<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> $conn-&gt;cacheSecs = 3600*24; // cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;CacheSelectLimit('select * from table',10);</font></pre>
+<font>
+</font><p><font><b>CacheFlush<a name="cacheflush"></a>($sql=false,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Flush (delete) any cached recordsets for the SQL statement $sql in $ADODB_CACHE_DIR.
+</font></p><p><font>If no parameter is passed in, then all adodb_*.cache files are deleted.

+</font></p><p><font>The parameters are $table which is the table name, the $arrFields which is an

+<p><font><b>AutoExecute<a name="autoexecute"></a>($table, $arrFields, $mode, $where=false, $forceUpdate=true,$magicq=false)</b></font></p>
+<p>Since ADOdb 4.56, you can automatically generate and execute INSERTs and UPDATEs on a given table with this
+function, which is a wrapper for GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL().
+<p>AutoExecute() inserts or updates $table given an array of $arrFields, where the keys are the field names and the array values are the
+field values to store. Note that there is some overhead because the table is first queried to extract key information
+before the SQL is generated. We generate an INSERT or UPDATE based on $mode (see below).
+<p>
+Legal values for $mode are
+<ul>
+<li>'INSERT' or 1 or DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT
+<li>'UPDATE' or 2 or DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE
+</ul>
+<p>You have to define the constants DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE and DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT yourself or include adodb-pear.inc.php.
+<p>The $where clause is required if $mode == 'UPDATE'. If $forceUpdate=false then we will query the
+database first and check if the field value returned by the query matches the current field value; only if they differ do we update that field.
+<p>Returns true on success, false on error.
+<p>An example of its use is:
+<pre>
+$record["firstName"] = "Carol";
+$record["lasTname"] = "Smith";
+$conn->AutoExecute($table,$record,'INSERT');
+# executes <i>"INSERT INTO $table (firstName,lasTname) values ('Carol',Smith')"</i>;
+
+$record["firstName"] = "Carol";
+$record["lasTname"] = "Jones";
+$conn->AutoExecute($table,$record,'UPDATE', "lastname like 'Sm%'");
+# executes <i>"UPDATE $table SET firstName='Carol',lasTname='Jones' WHERE lastname like 'Sm%'"</i>;
+</pre>
+<p>Note: One of the strengths of ADOdb's AutoExecute() is that only valid field names for $table are updated. If $arrFields
+contains keys that are invalid field names for $table, they are ignored. There is some overhead in doing this as we have to
+query the database to get the field names, but given that you are not directly coding the SQL yourself, you probably aren't interested in
+speed at all, but convenience.
+<p>Since 4.62, the table name to be used can be overridden by setting $rs->tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is called.
+<p><font><b>GetUpdateSQL<a name="getupdatesql"></a>(&amp;$rs, $arrFields, $forceUpdate=false,$magicq=false, $force=null)</b></font></p>

+<font> </font><p><font><b>StartTrans<a name="starttrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<font> </font><p><font>Start a monitored transaction. As SQL statements are executed, ADOdb will monitor
+ for SQL errors, and if any are detected, when CompleteTrans() is called, we auto-rollback.
+ </font></p><p>
+<font> </font></p><p><font> To understand why StartTrans() is superior to BeginTrans(),
+ let us examine a few ways of using BeginTrans().
+ The following is the wrong way to use transactions:
+</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;CommitTrans();<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>because you perform no error checking. It is possible to update table1 and
+ for the update on table2 to fail. Here is a better way:
+</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>$ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $DB-&gt;CommitTrans();<br>else $DB-&gt;RollbackTrans();<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>Another way is (since ADOdb 2.0):
+</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>$ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;CommitTrans($ok);<br></font></pre>
+<p><font> Now it is a headache monitoring $ok all over the place. StartTrans() is an
+improvement because it monitors all SQL errors for you. This is particularly
+useful if you are calling black-box functions in which SQL queries might be executed.
+ Also all BeginTrans, CommitTrans and RollbackTrans calls inside a StartTrans block
+ will be disabled, so even if the black box function does a commit, it will be ignored.
+</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;StartTrans();<br>CallBlackBox();<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;CompleteTrans();<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>Note that a StartTrans blocks are nestable, the inner blocks are ignored.
+ </font></p><p><font><b>CompleteTrans<a name="completetrans"></a>($autoComplete=true)</b></font></p>
+<font> </font><p><font>Complete a transaction called with StartTrans(). This function monitors
+ for SQL errors, and will commit if no errors have occured, otherwise it will rollback.
+ Returns true on commit, false on rollback. If the parameter $autoComplete is true
+ monitor sql errors and commit and rollback as appropriate. Set $autoComplete to false
+ to force rollback even if no SQL error detected.
+ </font></p><p><font><b>FailTrans<a name="failtrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<font> </font><p><font>Fail a transaction started with StartTrans(). The rollback will only occur when
+ CompleteTrans() is called.
+ </font></p><p><font><b>HasFailedTrans<a name="hasfailedtrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<font> </font><p><font>Check whether smart transaction has failed,
+ eg. returns true if there was an error in SQL execution or FailTrans() was called.
+ If not within smart transaction, returns false.
+</font></p><p><font><b>BeginTrans<a name="begintrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Begin a transaction. Turns off autoCommit. Returns true if successful. Some
+ databases will always return false if transaction support is not available.
+ Any open transactions will be rolled back when the connection is closed. Among the
+ databases that support transactions are Oracle, PostgreSQL, Interbase, MSSQL, certain
+ versions of MySQL, DB2, Informix, Sybase, etc.</font></p>
+<font> </font><p><font>Note that <a href="#starttrans">StartTrans()</a> and CompleteTrans() is a superior method of
+ handling transactions, available since ADOdb 3.40. For a explanation, see the <a href="#starttrans">StartTrans()</a> documentation.
+
+</font></p><p><font>You can also use the ADOdb <a href="#errorhandling">error handler</a> to die
+ and rollback your transactions for you transparently. Some buggy database extensions
+ are known to commit all outstanding tranasactions, so you might want to explicitly
+ do a $DB-&gt;RollbackTrans() in your error handler for safety.
+ </font></p><h4><font>Detecting Transactions</font></h4>
+<font> </font><p><font>Since ADOdb 2.50, you are able to detect when you are inside a transaction. Check
+ that $connection-&gt;transCnt &gt; 0. This variable is incremented whenever BeginTrans() is called,
+ and decremented whenever RollbackTrans() or CommitTrans() is called.
+</font></p><p><font><b>CommitTrans<a name="committrans"></a>($ok=true)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>End a transaction successfully. Returns true if successful. If the database
+ does not support transactions, will return true also as data is always committed.
+</font></p>
+<p><font>If you pass the parameter $ok=false, the data is rolled back. See example in
+ BeginTrans().</font></p>
+<p><font><b>RollbackTrans<a name="rollbacktrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<p><font>End a transaction, rollback all changes. Returns true if successful. If the

+
+<p><font>Note that the only difference between the oci8 and mssql implementations is $sql.</font></p>
+<p>
+<font> If $type parameter is set to false, in mssql, $type will be dynamicly determined

+</font></p><p><font>Adds a bind parameter suitable for return values or special data handling (eg.

+ $<i><b>var</b></i> PHP variable to bind to. Make sure you pre-initialize it!<br>
+ $<i><b>name</b></i> Name of stored procedure variable name to bind to.<br>
+ [$<i><b>isOutput</b></i>] Indicates direction of parameter 0/false=IN 1=OUT
+ 2= IN/OUT. This is ignored in oci8 as this driver auto-detects the direction.<br>
+ [$<b>maxLen</b>] Maximum length of the parameter variable.<br>

+<p><font>Lastly, in oci8, bind parameters can be reused without calling PrepareSP( )
+ or Parameters again. This is not possible with mssql. An oci8 example:</font></p>
+<pre><font>$id = 0; $i = 0;<br>$stmt = $db-&gt;PrepareSP( <font color="#993300">"update table set val=:i where id=:id"</font>);<br>$db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$id,'id');<br>$db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$i, 'i');<br>for ($cnt=0; $cnt &lt; 1000; $cnt++) {<br> $id = $cnt; <br> $i = $cnt * $cnt; <font color="green"># works with oci8!</font>
+ $db-&gt;Execute($stmt); <br>}</font></pre>
+<p><font><b>Bind<a name="bind"></a>($stmt, $var, $size=4001, $type=false, $name=false)</b></font></p>
+
+<p><font>This is a low-level function supported only by the oci8
+ driver. <b>Avoid using</b> unless you only want to support Oracle. The Parameter(
+ ) function is the recommended way to go with bind variables.</font></p>
+<p><font>Bind( ) allows you to use bind variables in your sql
+ statement. This binds a PHP variable to a name defined in an Oracle sql statement
+ that was previously prepared using Prepare(). Oracle named variables begin with
+ a colon, and ADOdb requires the named variables be called :0, :1, :2, :3, etc.
+ The first invocation of Bind() will match :0, the second invocation will match
+ :1, etc. Binding can provide 100% speedups for insert, select and update statements.
+ </font></p>
+<p>The other variables, $size sets the buffer size for data storage, $type is
+ the optional descriptor type OCI_B_FILE (Binary-File), OCI_B_CFILE (Character-File),
+ OCI_B_CLOB (Character-LOB), OCI_B_BLOB (Binary-LOB) and OCI_B_ROWID (ROWID).
+ Lastly, instead of using the default :0, :1, etc names, you can define your
+ own bind-name using $name.
+</p><p><font>The following example shows 3 bind variables being used:
+ p1, p2 and p3. These variables are bound to :0, :1 and :2.</font></p>
+<pre>$stmt = $DB-&gt;Prepare("insert into table (col0, col1, col2) values (:0, :1, :2)");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p1);<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p2);<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p3);<br>for ($i = 0; $i &lt; $max; $i++) { <br> $p1 = ?; $p2 = ?; $p3 = ?;<br> $DB-&gt;Execute($stmt);<br>}</pre>
+<p>You can also use named variables:</p>
+<pre>$stmt = $DB-&gt;Prepare("insert into table (col0, col1, col2) values (:name0, :name1, :name2)");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p1, "name0");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p2, "name1");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p3, "name2");<br>for ($i = 0; $i &lt; $max; $i++) { <br> $p1 = ?; $p2 = ?; $p3 = ?;<br> $DB-&gt;Execute($stmt);<br>}</pre>
+<p><b>LogSQL($enable=true)<a name="logsql"></a></b></p>
+Call this method to install a SQL logging and timing function (using fnExecute).
+Then all SQL statements are logged into an adodb_logsql table in a database. If
+the adodb_logsql table does not exist, ADOdb will create the table if you have
+the appropriate permissions. Returns the previous logging value (true for enabled,
+false for disabled). Here are samples of the DDL for selected databases:
+<p>
+</p><pre> <b>mysql:</b>
+ CREATE TABLE adodb_logsql (
+ created datetime NOT NULL,
+ sql0 varchar(250) NOT NULL,
+ sql1 text NOT NULL,
+ params text NOT NULL,
+ tracer text NOT NULL,

+ )

+

+ sql1 varchar(4000) NOT NULL,
+ params varchar(4000),
+ tracer varchar(4000),
+ timer decimal(16,6) NOT NULL
+ )
+</pre>
+Usage:
+<pre> $conn-&gt;LogSQL(); // turn on logging<br> :<br> $conn-&gt;Execute(...);<br> :<br> $conn-&gt;LogSQL(false); // turn off logging<br> <br> # output summary of SQL logging results<br> $perf = NewPerfMonitor($conn);<br> echo $perf-&gt;SuspiciousSQL();<br> echo $perf-&gt;ExpensiveSQL();<br></pre>
+<p>One limitation of logging is that rollback also prevents SQL from being logged.
+</p><p>
+If you prefer to use another name for the table used to store the SQL, you can override it by calling
+adodb_perf::table($tablename), where $tablename is the new table name (you will still need to manually
+create the table yourself). An example:
+</p><pre> include('adodb.inc.php');<br> include('adodb-perf.inc.php');<br> adodb_perf::table('my_logsql_table');<br></pre>
+Also see <a href="docs-perf.htm">Performance Monitor</a>.
+<p><font><b>fnExecute and fnCacheExecute properties<a name="fnexecute" id="fnexecute"></a></b></font></p>
+<p>These two properties allow you to define bottleneck functions for all sql statements
+ processed by ADOdb. This allows you to perform statistical analysis and query-rewriting
+ of your sql.
+</p><p><b>Examples of fnExecute</b></p>
+<p>Here is an example of using fnExecute, to count all cached queries and non-cached
+ queries, you can do this:</p>
+<pre><font color="#006600"># $db is the connection object</font>
+function CountExecs($db, $sql, $inputarray)
+{
+global $EXECS;
+
+if (!is_array(inputarray)) $EXECS++;
+<font color="#006600"># handle 2-dimensional input arrays</font>
+else if (is_array(reset($inputarray))) $EXECS += sizeof($inputarray);
+else $EXECS++;
+}
+
+<font color="#006600"># $db is the connection object</font>
+function CountCachedExecs($db, $secs2cache, $sql, $inputarray)
+{<br>global $CACHED; $CACHED++;<br>}<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db-&gt;Connect(...);<br>$db-&gt;<strong>fnExecute</strong> = 'CountExecs';<br>$db-&gt;<strong>fnCacheExecute</strong> = 'CountCachedExecs';<br> :<br> :<br><font color="#006600"># After many sql statements:</font>`<br>printf("&lt;p&gt;Total queries=%d; total cached=%d&lt;/p&gt;",$EXECS+$CACHED, $CACHED);<br></pre>
+<p>The fnExecute function is called before the sql is parsed and executed, so
+ you can perform a query rewrite. If you are passing in a prepared statement,
+ then $sql is an array (see <a href="#prepare">Prepare</a>). The fnCacheExecute
+ function is only called if the recordset returned was cached.<font>
+ The function parameters match the Execute and CacheExecute functions respectively,
+ except that $this (the connection object) is passed as the first parameter.</font></p>
+<p>Since ADOdb 3.91, the behaviour of fnExecute varies depending on whether the
+ defined function returns a value. If it does not return a value, then the $sql
+ is executed as before. This is useful for query rewriting or counting sql queries.
+</p><p> On the other hand, you might want to replace the Execute function with one
+ of your own design. If this is the case, then have your function return a value.
+ If a value is returned, that value is returned immediately, without any further
+ processing. This is used internally by ADOdb to implement LogSQL() functionality.

+ [$blank1stItem=true], [$multiple_select=false], [$size=0], [$moreAttr=''])</b></font></p>
+<p><font>This is nearly identical to GetMenu, except that the
+ $<i>default_str</i> is matched to fields[1] (the option values).</font></p>
+<p><font>Menu Example 3: Given the data in menu example 2, <code>GetMenu2('menu1',array('1','2'),false)</code> will
+ generate a menu with both A and B selected in menu example 2, but this time
+ the selection is based on the 2nd column, which holds the values to return
+to the Web server. </font></p>
+<p><font><b>UserDate<a name="userdate"></a>($str, [$fmt])</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Converts the date string $<i>str</i> to another format.
+ The date format is Y-m-d, or Unix timestamp format. The default $<i>fmt</i> is
+Y-m-d.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>UserTimeStamp<a name="usertimestamp"></a>($str, [$fmt])</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Converts the timestamp string $<b>str</b> to another
+ format. The timestamp format is Y-m-d H:i:s, as in '2002-02-28 23:00:12',
+ or Unix timestamp format. UserTimeStamp calls UnixTimeStamp to parse $<i>str</i>,
+and $<i>fmt</i> defaults to Y-m-d H:i:s if not defined. </font></p>
+<p><font><b>UnixDate<a name="unixdate"></a>($str)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Parses the date string $<b>str</b> and returns it in
+ unix mktime format (eg. a number indicating the seconds after January 1st,
+ 1970). Expects the date to be in Y-m-d H:i:s format, except for Sybase and
+ Microsoft SQL Server, where M d Y is also accepted (the 3 letter month strings
+ are controlled by a global array, which might need localisation).</font></p>
+<p><font>This function is available in both ADORecordSet and
+ADOConnection since 1.91.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>UnixTimeStamp<a name="unixtimestamp"></a>($str)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Parses the timestamp string $<b>str</b> and returns
+ it in unix mktime format (eg. a number indicating the seconds after January
+ 1st, 1970). Expects the date to be in "Y-m-d, H:i:s" (1970-12-24, 00:00:00)
+ or "Y-m-d H:i:s" (1970-12-24 00:00:00) or "YmdHis" (19701225000000) format,
+ except for Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server, where "M d Y h:i:sA" (Dec 25
+ 1970 00:00:00AM) is also accepted (the 3 letter month strings are controlled
+by a global array, which might need localisation).</font></p>
+<font>
+</font><p><font>This function is available in both ADORecordSet
+ and ADOConnection since 1.91. </font></p>
+<p><font><b>OffsetDate<a name="offsetdate"></a>($dayFraction,
+ $basedate=false)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns a string with the native SQL functions to calculate
+ future and past dates based on $basedate in a portable fashion. If $basedate
+ is not defined, then the current date (at 12 midnight) is used. Returns the
+ SQL string that performs the calculation when passed to Execute(). </font></p>
+<p><font>For example, in Oracle, to find the date and time that
+ is 2.5 days from today, you can use:</font></p>
+<pre><font># get date one week from now<br>$fld = $conn-&gt;OffsetDate(7); // returns "(trunc(sysdate)+7")</font></pre>
+<pre><font># get date and time that is 60 hours from current date and time<br>$fld = $conn-&gt;OffsetDate(2.5, $conn-&gt;sysTimeStamp); // returns "(sysdate+2.5)"<br><br>$conn-&gt;Execute("UPDATE TABLE SET dodate=$fld WHERE ID=$id");</font></pre>
+<p><font> This function is available for mysql, mssql, oracle, oci8 and postgresql drivers
+ since 2.13. It might work with other drivers provided they allow performing
+ numeric day arithmetic on dates.</font></p>
+<font> </font>
+<p><font><b>SQLDate<a name="sqldate"></a>($dateFormat, $basedate=false)</b></font></p>
+<font>Returns a string which contains the native SQL functions
+to format a date or date column $basedate. This is used in SELECT statements.
+For INSERT/UPDATE statements, use <a href="#dbdate">DBDate</a>. It uses a case-sensitive
+$dateFormat, which supports: </font>
+<pre><font>
+ Y: 4-digit Year
+ Q: Quarter (1-4)
+ M: Month (Jan-Dec)
+ m: Month (01-12)
+ d: Day (01-31)
+ H: Hour (00-23)
+ h: Hour (1-12)
+ i: Minute (00-59)
+ s: Second (00-60)
+ A: AM/PM indicator
+ w: day of week (0-6 or 1-7 depending on DB)
+ l: day of week (as string - lowercase L)
+ W: week in year (0..53 for MySQL, 1..53 for PostgreSQL and Oracle)
+ </font></pre>
+<p><font>All other characters are treated as strings. You can
+ also use \ to escape characters. Available on selected databases, including
+mysql, postgresql, mssql, oci8 and DB2. </font></p>
+<p><font>This is useful in writing portable sql statements that
+ GROUP BY on dates. For example to display total cost of goods sold broken
+by quarter (dates are stored in a field called postdate): </font></p>
+<pre><font> $sqlfn = $db-&gt;SQLDate('Y-\QQ','postdate'); # get sql that formats postdate to output 2002-Q1<br> $sql = "SELECT $sqlfn,SUM(cogs) FROM table GROUP BY $sqlfn ORDER BY 1 desc";<br> </font></pre>
+<p><font><b>MoveNext<a name="movenext"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Move the internal cursor to the next row. The <i>$this-&gt;fields</i> array
+ is automatically updated. Returns false if unable to do so (normally because
+EOF has been reached), otherwise true. </font></p>
+<p><font> If EOF is reached, then the $this-&gt;fields array
+ is set to false (this was only implemented consistently in ADOdb 3.30). For
+ the pre-3.30 behaviour of $this-&gt;fields (at EOF), set the global variable
+ $ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH = true.</font></p>
+<p><font>Example:</font></p>
+<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if ($rs) <br> while (!$rs-&gt;EOF) {<br> ProcessArray($rs-&gt;fields); <br> $rs-&gt;MoveNext();<br> } </font></pre>
+<p><font><b>Move<a name="move"></a>($to)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Moves the internal cursor to a specific row $<b>to</b>.
+ Rows are zero-based eg. 0 is the first row. The <b>fields</b> array is automatically
+ updated. For databases that do not support scrolling internally, ADOdb will
+ simulate forward scrolling. Some databases do not support backward scrolling.
+ If the $<b>to</b> position is after the EOF, $<b>to</b> will move to the
+ end of the RecordSet for most databases. Some obscure databases using odbc
+ might not behave this way.</font></p>
+<p><font>Note: This function uses <i>absolute positioning</i>,
+unlike Microsoft's ADO.</font></p>
+<p><font>Returns true or false. If false, the internal cursor
+ is not moved in most implementations, so AbsolutePosition( ) will return
+ the last cursor position before the Move( ). </font></p>
+<p><font><b>MoveFirst<a name="movefirst"></a>()</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Internally calls Move(0). Note that some databases do
+not support this function.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>MoveLast<a name="movelast"></a>()</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Internally calls Move(RecordCount()-1). Note that some
+ databases do not support this function.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>GetRowAssoc</b><a name="getrowassoc"></a>($toUpper=true)</font></p>
+<p><font>Returns an associative array containing the current
+ row. The keys to the array are the column names. The column names are upper-cased
+ for easy access. To get the next row, you will still need to call MoveNext(). </font></p>
+<p><font>For example:<br>
+Array ( [ID] =&gt; 1 [FIRSTNAME] =&gt; Caroline [LASTNAME] =&gt; Miranda [CREATED]
+=&gt; 2001-07-05 ) </font></p>
+<p><font>Note: do not use GetRowAssoc() with $ADODB_FETCH_MODE
+ = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. Because they have the same functionality, they will
+ interfere with each other.</font></p>
+<font>
+</font><p><font><b>AbsolutePage<a name="absolutepage"></a>($page=-1) </b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the current page. Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute() to be called.
+ See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</font></p>
+<font>
+<p><b>AtFirstPage<a name="atfirstpage">($status='')</a></b></p>
+<p>Returns true if at first page (1-based). Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute()
+ to be called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
+<p><b>AtLastPage<a name="atlastpage">($status='')</a></b></p>
+<p>Returns true if at last page (1-based). Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute()
+ to be called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
+<p><b>Fields</b><a name="fields"></a>(<b>$colname</b>)</p>
+<p>Returns the value of the associated column $<b>colname</b> for the current
+ row. The column name is case-insensitive.</p>
+<p>This is a convenience function. For higher performance, use <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>. </p>
+<p><b>FetchRow</b><a name="fetchrow"></a>()</p>
+</font><p><font>Returns array containing current row, or false
+ if EOF. FetchRow( ) internally moves to the next record after returning the
+ current row. </font></p>
+<p><font>Warning: Do not mix using FetchRow() with MoveNext().</font></p>
+<p><font>Usage:</font></p>
+<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if ($rs)<br> while ($arr = $rs-&gt;FetchRow()) {<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;# process $arr <br> }</font></pre>
+<p><font><b>FetchInto</b><a name="fetchinto"></a>(<b>&amp;$array</b>)</font></p>
+<p><font> Sets $array to the current row. Returns PEAR_Error
+ object if EOF, 1 if ok (DB_OK constant). If PEAR is undefined, false is returned
+ when EOF. FetchInto( ) internally moves to the next record after returning
+ the current row. </font></p>
+<p><font> FetchRow() is easier to use. See above.</font></p>
+<font> </font>
+<p><font><b>FetchField<a name="fetchfield"></a>($column_number)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns an object containing the <b>name</b>, <b>type</b> and <b>max_length</b> of
+ the associated field. If the max_length cannot be determined reliably, it
+ will be set to -1. The column numbers are zero-based. See <a href="#ex2">example
+ 2.</a></font></p>
+<p><font><b>FieldCount<a name="fieldcount"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the number of fields (columns) in the record
+set.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>RecordCount<a name="recordcount"></a>( )</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the number of rows in the record set. If the
+ number of records returned cannot be determined from the database driver
+ API, we will buffer all rows and return a count of the rows after all the
+ records have been retrieved. This buffering can be disabled (for performance
+ reasons) by setting the global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false. When disabled,
+ RecordCount( ) will return -1 for certain databases. See the supported databases
+ list above for more details. </font></p>
+<p><font> RowCount is a synonym for RecordCount.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>PO_RecordCount<a name="po_recordcount"></a>($table,
+$where)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the number of rows in the record set. If the
+ database does not support this, it will perform a SELECT COUNT(*) on the
+ table $table, with the given $where condition to return an estimate of the
+ recordset size.</font></p>
+<p><font>$numrows = $rs-&gt;PO_RecordCount("articles_table", "group=$group");</font></p>
+<font><b> NextRecordSet<a name="nextrecordset" id="nextrecordset"></a>()</b> </font>
+<p><font>For databases that allow multiple recordsets to be returned
+ in one query, this function allows you to switch to the next recordset. Currently
+ only supported by mssql driver.</font></p>
+<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('execute return_multiple_rs');<br>$arr1 = $rs-&gt;GetArray();<br>$rs-&gt;NextRecordSet();<br>$arr2 = $rs-&gt;GetArray();</font></pre>
+<p><font><b>FetchObject<a name="fetchobject"></a>($toupper=true)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the current row as an object. If you set $toupper
+ to true, then the object fields are set to upper-case. Note: The newer FetchNextObject()
+ is the recommended way of accessing rows as objects. See below.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>FetchNextObject<a name="fetchnextobject"></a>($toupper=true)</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Gets the current row as an object and moves to the next
+ row automatically. Returns false if at end-of-file. If you set $toupper to
+ true, then the object fields are set to upper-case. Note that for some drivers such as mssql, you need to SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC) or SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_BOTH).</font></p>
+<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select firstname,lastname from table');<br>if ($rs) {<br> while ($o = $rs-&gt;FetchNextObject()) {<br> print "$o-&gt;FIRSTNAME, $o-&gt;LASTNAME&lt;BR&gt;";<br> }<br>}<br></font></pre>
+<p><font>There is some trade-off in speed in using FetchNextObject().
+If performance is important, you should access rows with the <code>fields[]</code> array. <b>FetchObj<a name="fetchobj" id="fetchobj"></a>()</b> </font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the current record as an object. Fields are
+ not upper-cased, unlike FetchObject.
+</font></p>
+<p><font><b>FetchNextObj<a name="fetchnextobj" id="fetchnextobj"></a>()</b> </font></p>
+<p><font>Returns the current record as an object and moves to
+ the next record. If EOF, false is returned. Fields are not upper-cased, unlike
+ FetctNextObject. </font></p>
+<font>
+<p><b>CurrentRow<a name="currentrow"></a>( )</b></p>
+<p>Returns the current row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
+<p><b>AbsolutePosition<a name="abspos"></a>( )</b></p>
+<p>Synonym for <b>CurrentRow</b> for compatibility with ADO. Returns the current
+ row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
+<p><b>MetaType<a name="metatype"></a>($nativeDBType[,$field_max_length],[$fieldobj])</b></p>
+<p>Determine what <i>generic</i> meta type a database field type is given its
+ native type $<b>nativeDBType</b> as a string and the length of the field $<b>field_max_length</b>.
+ Note that field_max_length can be -1 if it is not known. The field object returned
+ by FetchField() can be passed in $<b>fieldobj</b> or as the 1st parameter <b>$nativeDBType</b>.
+ This is useful for databases such as <i>mysql</i> which has additional properties
+ in the field object such as <i>primary_key</i>. </p>
+<p>Uses the field <b>blobSize</b> and compares it with $<b>field_max_length</b> to
+ determine whether the character field is actually a blob.</p>
+For example, $db-&gt;MetaType('char') will return 'C'.
+<p>Returns:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li><b>C</b>: Character fields that should be shown in a &lt;input type="text"&gt; tag. </li>
+ <li><b>X</b>: Clob (character large objects), or large text fields that should
+ be shown in a &lt;textarea&gt;</li>
+ <li><b>D</b>: Date field</li>
+ <li><b>T</b>: Timestamp field</li>
+ <li><b>L</b>: Logical field (boolean or bit-field)</li>
+ <li><b>N</b>: Numeric field. Includes decimal, numeric, floating point, and
+ real. </li>
+ <li><b>I</b>:&nbsp; Integer field. </li>
+ <li><b>R</b>: Counter or Autoincrement field. Must be numeric.</li>
+ <li><b>B</b>: Blob, or binary large objects. </li>
+</ul>
+</font><p><font> Since ADOdb 3.0, MetaType accepts $fieldobj
+ as the first parameter, instead of $nativeDBType. </font></p>
+<font> </font>
+<p><font><b>Close( )<a name="rsclose"></a></b></font></p>
+<p><font>Closes the recordset, cleaning all memory and resources
+associated with the recordset. </font></p>
+<p>
+<font>If memory management is not an issue, you do not need to
+call this function as recordsets are closed for you by PHP at the end of the
+script. SQL statements such as INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE do not really return a recordset,
+so you do not have to call Close() for such SQL statements.</font></p>
+<hr />
+<h3><font>function rs2html<a name="rs2html"></a>($adorecordset,[$tableheader_attributes],
+ [$col_titles])</font></h3>
+<p><font>This is a standalone function (rs2html = recordset to
+ html) that is similar to PHP's <i>odbc_result_all</i> function, it prints
+ a ADORecordSet, $<b>adorecordset</b> as a HTML table. $<b>tableheader_attributes</b> allow
+ you to control the table <i>cellpadding</i>, <i>cellspacing</i> and <i>border</i> attributes.
+ Lastly you can replace the database column names with your own column titles
+ with the array $<b>col_titles</b>. This is designed more as a quick debugging
+ mechanism, not a production table recordset viewer.</font></p>
+<p><font>You will need to include the file <i>tohtml.inc.php</i>.</font></p>

+<h3><font>Differences between this ADOdb library and Microsoft
+ADO<a name="adodiff"></a></font></h3>
+<ol>
+<font>
+<li>ADOdb only supports recordsets created by a connection object. Recordsets
+ cannot be created independently.</li>
+<li>ADO properties are implemented as functions in ADOdb. This makes it easier
+ to implement any enhanced ADO functionality in the future.</li>
+<li>ADOdb's <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ADORecordSet-&gt;Move()</font> uses
+ absolute positioning, not relative. Bookmarks are not supported.</li>
+<li><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ADORecordSet-&gt;AbsolutePosition() </font>cannot
+ be used to move the record cursor.</li>
+<li>ADO Parameter objects are not supported. Instead we have the ADOConnection::<a href="#parameter">Parameter</a>(
+ ) function, which provides a simpler interface for calling preparing parameters
+ and calling stored procedures.</li>
+<li>Recordset properties for paging records are available, but implemented as
+ in <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</li>

+<hr />
+<h1><font>Database Driver Guide<a name="driverguide"></a></font></h1>
+<p><font>This describes how to create a class to connect to a
+ new database. To ensure there is no duplication of work, kindly email me
+ at jlim#natsoft.com.my if you decide to create such a class.</font></p>
+<p><font>First decide on a name in lower case to call the database
+ type. Let's say we call it xbase. </font></p>
+<p><font>Then we need to create two classes ADODB_xbase and ADORecordSet_xbase
+ in the file adodb-xbase.inc.php.</font></p>
+<p><font>The simplest form of database driver is an adaptation
+ of an existing ODBC driver. Then we just need to create the class <i>ADODB_xbase
+ extends ADODB_odbc</i> to support the new <b>date</b> and <b>timestamp</b> formats,
+ the <b>concatenation</b> operator used, <b>true</b> and <b>false</b>. For
+ the<i> ADORecordSet_xbase extends ADORecordSet_odbc </i>we need to change
+ the <b>MetaType</b> function. See<b> adodb-vfp.inc.php</b> as an example.</font></p>
+<p><font>More complicated is a totally new database driver that
+ connects to a new PHP extension. Then you will need to implement several
+ functions. Fortunately, you do not have to modify most of the complex code.
+ You only need to override a few stub functions. See <b>adodb-mysql.inc.php</b> for
+ example.</font></p>
+<p><font>The default date format of ADOdb internally is YYYY-MM-DD
+ (Ansi-92). All dates should be converted to that format when passing to an
+ ADOdb date function. See Oracle for an example how we use ALTER SESSION to
+ change the default date format in _pconnect _connect.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>ADOConnection Functions to Override</b></font></p>
+<p><font>Defining a constructor for your ADOConnection derived
+ function is optional. There is no need to call the base class constructor.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>connect</b>: Low level implementation of Connect.
+ Returns true or false. Should set the _<b>connectionID</b>.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>pconnect:</b> Low level implemention of PConnect.
+ Returns true or false. Should set the _<b>connectionID</b>.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>query</b>: Execute a query. Returns the queryID,
+or false.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>close: </b>Close the connection -- PHP should clean
+up all recordsets. </font></p>
+<p><font><b>ErrorMsg</b>: Stores the error message in the private
+variable _errorMsg. </font></p>
+<p><font><b>ADOConnection Fields to Set</b></font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>bindInputArray</b>: Set to true if binding of parameters
+ for SQL inserts and updates is allowed using ?, eg. as with ODBC.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>fmtDate</b></font></p>
+<p><font><b>fmtTimeStamp</b></font></p>
+<p><font><b>true</b></font></p>
+<p><font><b>false</b></font></p>
+<p><font><b>concat_operator</b></font></p>
+<p><font><b>replaceQuote</b></font></p>
+<p><font><b>hasLimit</b> support SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 10
+of MySQL.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>hasTop</b> support Microsoft style SELECT TOP 10
+* FROM TABLE.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>ADORecordSet Functions to Override</b></font></p>
+<p><font>You will need to define a constructor for your ADORecordSet
+ derived class that calls the parent class constructor.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>FetchField: </b> as documented above in ADORecordSet</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>initrs</b>: low level initialization of the recordset:
+ setup the _<b>numOfRows</b> and _<b>numOfFields</b> fields -- called by the
+ constructor.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>seek</b>: seek to a particular row. Do not load
+ the data into the fields array. This is done by _fetch. Returns true or false.
+ Note that some implementations such as Interbase do not support seek. Set
+ canSeek to false.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>fetch</b>: fetch a row using the database extension
+ function and then move to the next row. Sets the <b>fields</b> array. If
+ the parameter $ignore_fields is true then there is no need to populate the <b>fields</b> array,
+ just move to the next row. then Returns true or false.</font></p>
+<p><font>_<b>close</b>: close the recordset</font></p>
+<p><font><b>Fields</b>: If the array row returned by the PHP
+ extension is not an associative one, you will have to override this. See
+ adodb-odbc.inc.php for an example. For databases such as MySQL and MSSQL
+ where an associative array is returned, there is no need to override this
+ function.</font></p>
+<p><font><b>ADOConnection Fields to Set</b></font></p>
+<p><font>canSeek: Set to true if the _seek function works.</font></p>

+As he says, the LOBs limitations are:
+<pre> - use OCINewDescriptor before binding<br> - if Param is IN, uses save() before each execute. This is done automatically for you.<br> - if Param is OUT, uses load() after each execute. This is done automatically for you.<br> - when we bind $var as LOB, we create new descriptor and return it as a<br> Bind Result, so if we want to use OUT parameters, we have to store<br> somewhere &amp;$var to load() data from LOB to it.<br> - IN OUT params are not working now (should not be a big problem to fix it)<br> - now mass binding not working too (I've wrote about it before)<br></pre>

+</p><p>Some minor postgres speedups in _initrs().
