<a href="#adodiff">Differences between ADOdb and ADO</a><br>
<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>

</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->debug = true</i> as shown below:</p>
<pre><?php<br> include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br> $db = <a href="#adonewconnection">ADONewConnection</a>($dbdriver); # eg 'mysql' or 'postgres'<br> $db->debug = true;<br> $db-><a href="#connect">Connect</a>($server, $user, $password, $database);<br> $rs = $db-><a href="#execute">Execute</a>('select * from some_small_table');<br> print "<pre>";<br> print_r($rs-><a href="#getrows">GetRows</a>());<br> print "</pre>";<br>?></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>$conn = &ADONewConnection('mysql');<br></pre>
<p>Whenever you need to connect to a database, you create a Connection object
using the <b>ADONewConnection</b>($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-><a href="#pconnect">PConnect()</a>,
or $conn-><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->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.

<p><a name="connect_ex"> For most drivers, you can use the standard function: Connect($server, $user, $password, $database), or
a </a><a href="dsnsupport">DSN</a> since ADOdb 4.51. Exceptions to this are listed below.
</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 = &ADONewConnection('postgres'); <br> $conn->PConnect('host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mary');</pre>
<p> b. the classical 4 parameters:</p>
<pre> $conn->PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');<br> </pre>
<p>c. dsn:
</p><pre> $dsn = 'postgres://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist'; # persist is optional
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br></pre>
<a name="ldap"></a>
<h4>LDAP</h4>
<p>Here is an example of querying a LDAP server. Thanks to Josh Eldridge for the driver and this example:
</p><pre>
require('/path/to/adodb.inc.php');
/* Make sure to set this BEFORE calling Connect() */
$LDAP_CONNECT_OPTIONS = Array(
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_DEREF, "OPTION_VALUE"=>2),
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT,"OPTION_VALUE"=>100),
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT,"OPTION_VALUE"=>30),
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,"OPTION_VALUE"=>3),
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_ERROR_NUMBER,"OPTION_VALUE"=>13),
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS,"OPTION_VALUE"=>FALSE),
Array ("OPTION_NAME"=>LDAP_OPT_RESTART,"OPTION_VALUE"=>FALSE)
);
$host = 'ldap.baylor.edu';
$ldapbase = 'ou=People,o=Baylor University,c=US';
$ldap = NewADOConnection( 'ldap' );
$ldap->Connect( $host, $user_name='', $password='', $ldapbase );
echo "<pre>";
print_r( $ldap->ServerInfo() );
$ldap->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);
$userName = 'eldridge';
$filter="(|(CN=$userName*)(sn=$userName*)(givenname=$userName*)(uid=$userName*))";
$rs = $ldap->Execute( $filter );
if ($rs)
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) {
print_r($arr);
}
$rs = $ldap->Execute( $filter );
if ($rs)
while (!$rs->EOF) {
print_r($rs->fields);
$rs->MoveNext();
}
print_r( $ldap->GetArray( $filter ) );
print_r( $ldap->GetRow( $filter ) );
$ldap->Close();
echo "</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 = &ADONewConnection('ibase'); <br> $conn->PConnect('localhost:c:\ibase\employee.gdb','sysdba','masterkey');<br></pre>
<p>Or dsn:
</p><pre> $dsn = 'firebird://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist&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 = &ADONewConnection('sqlite');
$conn->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->Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
<p>b. TNS Name defined in tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES), eg. 'myTNS'</p>
<pre> $conn->PConnect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', 'myTNS');</pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre> $conn->PConnect('myTNS', 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
<p>c. Host Address and SID</p>
<pre>
$conn->connectSID = true;
$conn->Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'SID');</pre>
<p>d. Host Address and Service Name</p>
<pre> $conn->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> $conn->Connect($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->charSet = 'we8iso8859p1';<br> $conn->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 =& ADONewConnection('access');<br> $dsn = <strong>"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=d:\\northwind.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;";</strong>
$db->Connect($dsn);
</pre>
For Microsoft SQL Server:
<pre> $db =& ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');<br> $dsn = <strong>"Driver={SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=northwind;"</strong>;<br> $db->Connect($dsn,'userid','password');<br></pre>
or if you prefer to use the mssql extension (which is limited to mssql 6.5 functionality):
<pre> $db =& ADONewConnection('mssql');<br> $db->Execute('localhost', 'userid', 'password', 'northwind');<br></pre>
For DB2:
<pre>
$dbms = 'db2'; # or 'odbc_db2' if db2 extension not available
$db =& ADONewConnection($dbms);
$dsn = "driver={IBM db2 odbc DRIVER};Database=sample;hostname=localhost;port=50000;protocol=TCPIP;".
"uid=root; pwd=secret";<br> $db->Connect($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><?php<br> include('adodb.inc.php'); <br> $db = &ADONewConnection("ado_mssql");<br> print "<h1>Connecting DSN-less $db->databaseType...</h1>";<br> <br> <b>$myDSN="PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={SQL Server};"<br> . "SERVER=flipper;DATABASE=ai;UID=sa;PWD=;" ;</b>
$db->Connect($myDSN);
$rs = $db->Execute("select * from table");
$arr = $rs->GetArray();
print_r($arr);
?>
</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 $recordset->fields
directly. Also set the global variables <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$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 =& $rs->Execute($sql);<br>while (!$rs->EOF) {<br> var_dump($rs->fields);<br> $rs->MoveNext();<br>}</pre></td><td>
<pre>$rs =& $rs->Execute($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 $rs->MoveNext() with adodb_movenext($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->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& hack_factory($driver)<br>{<br> if ($driver !== 'mysql' && $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 = $db->Execute($sql);<br> foreach($rs as $k => $row) {<br> echo "r1=".$row[0]." r2=".$row[1]."<br>";<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->Connect('','scott','bad-password'); <br> } catch (exception $e) { <br> var_dump($e); <br> adodb_backtrace($e->gettrace());<br> } <br></pre>
<p>Note that reaching EOF is <b>not</b> considered an error nor an exception.
</p></li></ul>
<h3><a name="drivers"></a>Databases Supported</h3>
The <i>name</i> below is the value you pass to NewADOConnection($name) to create a connection object for that database.

<p></p><p>The "Tested" column indicates how extensively the code has been tested
and used. <br>
A = well tested and used by many people<br>
B = tested and usable, but some features might not be implemented<br>
C = user contributed or experimental driver. Might not fully support all of
the latest features of ADOdb. </p>
<p>The column "RecordCount() usable" indicates whether RecordCount()
return the number of rows, or returns -1 when a SELECT statement is executed.
If this column displays Y/N then the RecordCount() is emulated when the global
variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS=true (this is the default). Note that for large recordsets,
it might be better to disable RecordCount() emulation because substantial amounts
of memory are required to cache the recordset for counting. Also there is a
speed penalty of 40-50% if emulation is required. This is emulated in most databases
except for PostgreSQL and MySQL. This variable is checked every time a query
is executed, so you can selectively choose which recordsets to count.</p>

<h1>Tutorials<a name="quickstart"></a></h1>
<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><?<br><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>->PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind DSN<br>$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font> = &$<font color="#660000">conn</font>->Execute('select * from products');<br>if (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>) <br> print $<font color="#660000">conn</font>->ErrorMsg();<br>else<br><b>while</b> (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>->EOF) {<br> <b>print</b> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>->fields[0].' '.$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>->fields[1].'<BR>';<br> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>->MoveNext();<br>}</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">
$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>->Close(); # optional<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>->Close(); # optional<br></font>
?>
</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->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->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->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);<br> $rs1 = $db->Execute('select * from table');<br> $db->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);<br> $rs2 = $db->Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1->fields); # shows <i>array([0]=>'v0',[1] =>'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2->fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=>'v0',['col2'] =>'v1')</i>
</pre>
<p> </p>
<p>To get the number of rows in the select statement, you can use <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$recordSet-><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

</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 <input type="text">
tag.</li>
<li><b>X</b>: TeXt, large text fields that should be shown in a <textarea></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>: 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><?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br><br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>->PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind dsn<br>$<font color="#660000">shipto</font> = <font color="#006600"><b>$conn->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">$conn->DBDate(</font>time()<font color="#006600">)</font></b><font color="#006600">.</font>",$<font color="#660000">shipto</font>)";<br><br><b>if</b> ($<font color="#660000">conn</font>->Execute($<font color="#660000">sql</font>) <font color="#336600"><b>=== false</b></font>) {<br> <b>print</b> 'error inserting: '.<font color="#336600"><b>$conn->ErrorMsg()</b></font>.'<BR>';<br>}<br>?><br></pre>
<p>In this example, we see the advanced date and quote handling facilities of
ADOdb. The unix timestamp (which is a long integer) is appropriately formated
for Access with <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#dbdate">DBDate</a>()</font>,
and the right escape character is used for quoting the <i>John's Old Shoppe</i>,
which is<b> </b><i>John'<b>'</b>s Old Shoppe</i> and not PHP's default <i>John<b>'</b>s
Old Shoppe</i> with <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#qstr">qstr</a>()</font>.
</p>
<p>Observe the error-handling of the Execute statement. False is returned by<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">
<a href="#execute">Execute</a>() </font>if an error occured. The error message
for the last error that occurred is displayed in <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#errormsg">ErrorMsg</a>()</font>.
Note: <i>php_track_errors</i> might have to be enabled for error messages to
be saved.</p>
<h3> Example 4: Debugging<a name="ex4"></a></h3>
<pre><?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>->PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind dsn<br><font>$<font color="#663300">shipto</font> = <b>$conn->qstr</b>("John's Old Shoppe");<br>$<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>->FormatDate(time()).",$shipto)";<br><b><font color="#336600">$<font color="#663300">conn</font>->debug = true;</font></b>
<b>if</b> ($<font color="#663300">conn</font>->Execute($sql) <b>=== false</b>) <b>print</b> 'error inserting';</font>
?>
</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 <select> menu
from an SQL statement where the <option> captions are in the 1st column,
and the value to send back to the server is in the 2nd column.</p>
<pre><?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>->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> = $<font color="#663300">conn</font>->Execute($sql);<br><b>print</b> <b><font color="#336600">$<font color="#663300">rs</font>->GetMenu('GetCust','Mary Rosli');<br>?></font></b></font></pre>
<p>Here we define a menu named GetCust, with the menu option 'Mary Rosli' selected.
See <a href="#getmenu"><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">GetMenu</font></a><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">()</font>.
We also have functions that return the recordset as an array: <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#getarray">GetArray</a>()</font>,
and as an associative array with the key being the first column: <a href="#getassoc1">GetAssoc</a>().</p>
<h3>Example 6: Connecting to 2 Databases At Once<a name="ex6"></a></h3>
<pre><?<br><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#663300">conn1</font> = &ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a mysql connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn2</font> = &ADONewConnection('oracle'); # create a oracle connection<br><br>$conn1->PConnect($server, $userid, $password, $database);<br>$conn2->PConnect(false, $ora_userid, $ora_pwd, $oraname);<br><br>$conn1->Execute('insert ...');<br>$conn2->Execute('update ...');<br>?></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->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.
</p><p>

<a name="ADODB_FORCE_TYPE"></a>
<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>$db->Connect('localhost','root','','xphplens');<br><br>$sql = "select * from adoxyz ";<br><br>$pager = new ADODB_Pager($db,$sql);<br>$pager->Render($rows_per_page=5);</pre>
<p>This will create a basic record pager that looks like this: <a name="scr"></a>
</p><p>
<table bgcolor="beige" border="1">
<tbody><tr>
<td> <a href="#scr"><code>|<</code></a> <a href="#scr"><code><<</code></a>
<a href="#scr"><code>>></code></a> <a href="#scr"><code>>|</code></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><table bgcolor="white" border="1" cols="4" width="100%">
<tbody><tr><th>ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Date Created</th>
</tr><tr>
<td align="right">36 </td>
<td>Alan </td>
<td>Turing </td>
<td>Sat 06, Oct 2001 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">37 </td>
<td>Serena </td>
<td>Williams </td>
<td>Sat 06, Oct 2001 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">38 </td>
<td>Yat Sun </td>
<td>Sun </td>
<td>Sat 06, Oct 2001 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">39 </td>
<td>Wai Hun </td>
<td>See </td>
<td>Sat 06, Oct 2001 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">40 </td>
<td>Steven </td>
<td>Oey </td>
<td>Sat 06, Oct 2001 </td>
</tr>
</tbody></table></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="-1">Page 8/10</font></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</p><p>The number of rows to display at one time is controled by the Render($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->htmlSpecialChars = false.
</p><p>Some of the code used here was contributed by Iván 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>
$db = &NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db->Connect($server, $userid, $password, $database);<br><br>$rs = $db->Execute('select fname as "First Name", surname as "Surname" from table');<br><br>print "<pre>";<br>print <b>rs2csv</b>($rs); # return a string, CSV format<p>print '<hr>';<br><br>$rs->MoveFirst(); # note, some databases do not support MoveFirst<br>print <b>rs2tab</b>($rs,<i>false</i>); # return a string, tab-delimited<br> # false == suppress field names in first line</p>print '<hr>';<br>$rs->MoveFirst();<br><b>rs2tabout</b>($rs); # send to stdout directly (there is also an rs2csvout function)<br>print "</pre>";<br><br>$rs->MoveFirst();<br>$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, $addtitles which
defaults to <i>true</i>. When set to <i>false</i> field names in the first line
are suppressed. <br>
</p><h3>Example 10: Recordset Filters<a name="ex10"></a></h3>
<p>Sometimes we want to pre-process all rows in a recordset before we use it.
For example, we want to ucwords all text in recordset.
</p><pre>include_once('adodb/rsfilter.inc.php');<br>include_once('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br><br>// ucwords() every element in the recordset<br>function do_ucwords(&$arr,$rs)<br>{<br> foreach($arr as $k => $v) {<br> $arr[$k] = ucwords($v);<br> }<br>}<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db->PConnect('server','user','pwd','db');<br><br>$rs = $db->Execute('select ... from table');<br>$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-><b>BeginTrans</b>();<br>$ok = $conn->Execute($sql);<br>if ($ok) $ok = $conn->Execute($sql2);<br>if (!$ok) $conn-><b>RollbackTrans</b>();<br>else $conn-><b>CommitTrans</b>();<br></pre>
This is very complicated for large projects because you have to track the error
status. Smart Transactions is much simpler. You start a smart transaction by calling
StartTrans():
<pre>$conn-><b>StartTrans</b>();<br>$conn->Execute($sql);<br>$conn->Execute($Sql2);<br>$conn-><b>CompleteTrans</b>();<br></pre>
CompleteTrans() detects when an SQL error occurs, and will Rollback/Commit as
appropriate. To specificly force a rollback even if no error occured, use FailTrans().
Note that the rollback is done in CompleteTrans(), and not in FailTrans().
<pre>$conn-><b>StartTrans</b>();<br>$conn->Execute($sql);<br>if (!CheckRecords()) $conn-><strong>FailTrans</strong>();<br>$conn->Execute($Sql2);<br>$conn-><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>$conn-><strong>StartTrans</strong>();<br>$conn->Execute($sql);<br> $conn-><strong>StartTrans</strong>(); <font color="#006600"># ignored</font>
if (!CheckRecords()) $conn->FailTrans();
$conn-><strong>CompleteTrans</strong>(); <font color="#006600"># ignored</font>
$conn->Execute($Sql2);
$conn-><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($e->gettrace());<br> } <br></pre>
<p> ADOdb also provides two custom handlers which you can modify for your needs. The
first one is in the <b>adodb-errorhandler.inc.php</b> file. This makes use of
the standard PHP functions <a href="http://php.net/error_reporting">error_reporting</a>
to control what error messages types to display, and <a href="http://php.net/trigger_error">trigger_error</a>
which invokes the default PHP error handler.
</p><p> Including the above file will cause <i>trigger_error($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><?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->PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
$rs=$c->Execute('select * from productsz'); #invalid table productsz');
if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
?>
</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><?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->PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
$rs=$c->Execute('select * from productsz'); ## invalid table productsz
if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
?>
</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><?php<br><b>include('adodb-errorpear.inc.php');</b>
include('adodb.inc.php');
include('tohtml.inc.php');
$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
$c->PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
$rs=$c->Execute('select * from productsz'); #invalid table productsz');
if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
else {
<b>$e = ADODB_Pear_Error();<br> echo '<p>',$e->message,'</p>';</b>
}
?>
</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->query('select firstname,lastname from adoxyz');<br> $cnt = 0;<br> while ($arr = $rs->fetchRow()) {<br> print_r($arr); print "<br>";<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>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>->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> = $<font color="#663300">conn</font>->CacheExecute(15,$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->cacheSecs
parameter, which defaults to 60 minutes.
</p><pre> $conn->Connect(...);<br> $conn->cacheSecs = 3600*24; # cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn->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">--></font></td>
<td>
<table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody><tr>
<td> </td>
<td><i>category1</i></td>
<td><i>category2</i></td>
<td><i>total</i></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><i>supplier1</i></td>
<td align="right">1</td>
<td align="right">0</td>
<td align="right">1</td>
</tr>
<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",
<br>
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 ' => 'UnitsInStock <= 0',
"1 to 5" => '0 < UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock <= 5',
"6 to 10" => '5 < UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock <= 10',
"11 to 15" => '10 < UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock <= 15',
"16+" => '15 < 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 <= 0 THEN UnitsInStock ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum
0 ", <br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 0 < UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock <= 5 THEN UnitsInStock
ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum 1 to 5",<br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 5 < UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock <= 10 THEN UnitsInStock
ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum 6 to 10",<br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 10 < UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock <= 15 THEN UnitsInStock
ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum 11 to 15", <br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 15 < UnitsInStock THEN UnitsInStock ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum
16+", <br>
SUM(UnitsInStock) AS "Sum UnitsInStock", <br>
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><font size="2"><br>

<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
returned in a SELECT statement, the function RecordCount() is emulated when
the global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS is set to true, which is the default.
We emulate this by buffering the records, which can take up large amounts
of memory for big recordsets. Set this variable to false for the best performance.
This variable is checked every time a query is executed, so you can selectively
choose which recordsets to count.</p>
<h3><font><a name="adodb_cache_dir"></a>$ADODB_CACHE_DIR</font></h3>
<font>
<p>If you are using recordset caching, this is the directory to save your recordsets
in. Define this before you call any caching functions such as CacheExecute(
). We recommend setting <i>register_globals=off</i> in php.ini if you use this
feature for security reasons.</p>
<p>If you are using Unix and apache, you might need to set your cache directory
permissions to something similar to the following:</p>
</font>
<p>chown -R apache /path/to/adodb/cache<br>
chgrp -R apache /path/to/adodb/cache </p>
<h3><font><a name="adodb_ansi_padding_off"></a>$ADODB_ANSI_PADDING_OFF</font></h3>
<p><font>Determines whether to right trim CHAR fields (and also VARCHAR for ibase/firebird).
Set to true to trim. Default is false. Currently works for oci8po, ibase and firebird
drivers. Added in ADOdb 4.01.
</font></p><h3><font><a name="adodb_lang"></a>$ADODB_LANG</font></h3>
<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->Execute('select * from table');<br> $ADODB_<b>FETCH_MODE</b> = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC;<br> $rs2 = $db->Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1->fields); # shows <i>array([0]=>'v0',[1] =>'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2->fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=>'v0',['col2'] =>'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->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);<br> $rs1 = $db->Execute('select * from table');<br> $db->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);<br> $rs2 = $db->Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1->fields); # shows <i>array([0]=>'v0',[1] =>'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2->fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=>'v0',['col2'] =>'v1')</i></font></pre>
<p><font>To retrieve the previous fetch mode, you can use check the $db->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->fields['orderid']<br>
1 = assoc uppercase field names. $rs->fields['ORDERID']<br>
2 = use native-case field names. $rs->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>
include('adodb.inc.php'); </font></p>

<h2><font>ADOConnection<a name="adoconnection"></a></font></h2>
<p><font>Object that performs the connection to the database, executes SQL statements
and has a set of utility functions for standardising the format of SQL statements
for issues such as concatenation and date formats.</font></p>

<p><font><b>autoCommit</b>: indicates whether automatic commit is enabled. Default is
true.</font></p>
<p><font><b>charSet</b>: set the default charset to use. Currently only interbase/firebird supports
this.</font></p>
<p><font><b>dialect</b>: set the default sql dialect to use. Currently only interbase/firebird

Oracle 8.0.5 and earlier.</font></p>
<p><font><b>autoRollback</b>: Persistent connections are auto-rollbacked in PConnect(
) if this is set to true. Default is false.</font></p>
<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->Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', $oraname); <br> $conn->Connect('server:1521', 'scott', 'tiger', 'ServiceName'); # bypass tnsnames.ora</font></pre>
<p><font>There are many examples of connecting to a database.
See <a href="#connect_ex">Connection Examples</a> for many examples.
</font></p><p><font><b>PConnect<a name="pconnect"></a>($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 = &NewADOConnection('mysql');<br> $conn->autoRollback = true; # default is false<br> $conn->PConnect(...); # rollback here</pre>
<p> Then when doing a persistent connection with PConnect( ), ADOdb will
perform a rollback first. This is because it is documented that PHP is
not guaranteed to rollback existing failed transactions when
persistent connections are used. This is implemented in Oracle,
MySQL, PgSQL, MSSQL, ODBC currently.
</p><p>Since ADOdb 3.11, you can force non-persistent
connections even if PConnect is called by defining the constant
ADODB_NEVER_PERSIST before you call PConnect.
</p><p>
Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded.
</p><p><b>NConnect<a name="nconnect"></a>($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->Execute("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val", array('val'=> $val));<br> </font></pre>
<p><font>Another example, using ODBC,which uses the ? convention:</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn->Execute("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?", array($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 = $db->Execute('select * from table where val=?', array('10'));<br></font></pre>
<font>Variable binding in the oci8 driver:
</font><pre><font>$rs = $db->Execute('select name from table where val=:key', <br> array('key' => 10));<br></font></pre>
<font><a name="bulkbind"></a>
<i>Bulk binding</i>
</font><p><font>Since ADOdb 3.80, we support bulk binding in Execute(), in which you pass in a 2-dimensional array to
be bound to an INSERT/UPDATE or DELETE statement.
</font></p><pre><font>$arr = array(<br> array('Ahmad',32),<br> array('Zulkifli', 24),<br> array('Rosnah', 21)<br> );<br>$ok = $db->Execute('insert into table (name,age) values (?,?)',$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 = &ADONewConnection('mysql'); <br> $conn->PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');<br> $rs = $conn-><b>CacheExecute</b>(15, 'select * from table'); # cache 15 secs<br> rs2html($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->Connect(...);<br> $conn->cacheSecs = 3600*24; // cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn->CacheExecute('select * from table');<br></font></pre>
<font>If $secs2cache is omitted, we use the value
in $connection->cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour). Use CacheExecute()
only with SELECT statements.
</font><p><font>Performance note: I have done some benchmarks and found that they vary so greatly
that it's better to talk about when caching is of benefit. When your database
server is <i>much slower </i>than your Web server or the database is <i>very
overloaded </i>then ADOdb's caching is good because it reduces the load on
your database server. If your database server is lightly loaded or much faster
than your Web server, then caching could actually reduce performance. </font></p>
<p><font><b>ExecuteCursor<a name="executecursor"></a>($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->Connect("foo.com:1521", "uid", "pwd", "FOO"); <br> $rs = $db->ExecuteCursor("begin :cursorvar := getdata(:param1); end;", <br> 'cursorvar',<br> array('param1'=>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->Prepare("begin :cursorvar := getdata(:param1); end;", true); <br> $db->Parameter($stmt, $cur, 'cursorvar', false, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);<br> $rs = $db->Execute($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->PrepareSP("BEGIN list_tabs(:crsr,:tt); END;");<br> $db->OutParameter($stmt, $cur, 'crsr', -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);<br> $db->OutParameter($stmt, $vv, 'tt', 32); # return varchar(32)<br> $arr = $db->GetArray($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->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>$connection->SelectLimit('SELECT
* FROM TABLE',3,2)</code>.</font></p>
<p><font>Note that this is the <i>opposite</i> of MySQL's LIMIT clause. You can also
set <code>$connection->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->SelectLimit("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val", 100,-1,array('val'=> $val));<br> </font></pre>
<p><font>The oci8po driver (oracle portable driver) uses the more standard bind variable
of ?:
</font></p><pre><font> $conn->SelectLimit("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?", 100,-1,array('val'=> $val));<br></font></pre>
<p><font>
</font></p><p><font>Ron Wilson reports that SelectLimit does not work with UNIONs.
</font></p><p><font><b>CacheSelectLimit<a name="cacheselectlimit"></a>([$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->cacheSecs.</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn->Connect(...);<br> $conn->cacheSecs = 3600*24; // cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn->CacheSelectLimit('select * from table',10);</font></pre>
<font>
</font><p><font><b>CacheFlush<a name="cacheflush"></a>($sql=false,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Flush (delete) any cached recordsets for the SQL statement $sql in $ADODB_CACHE_DIR.
</font></p><p><font>If no parameter is passed in, then all adodb_*.cache files are deleted.
</font></p><p><font> If you want to flush all cached recordsets manually, execute the following
PHP code (works only under Unix): <br>
<code> system("rm -f `find ".$ADODB_CACHE_DIR." -name
adodb_*.cache`");</code></font></p>
<p><font>For general cleanup of all expired files, you should use <a href="http://www.superscripts.com/tutorial/crontab.html">crontab</a>
on Unix, or at.exe on Windows, and a shell script similar to the following:<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><br>

</font> </font></p>
<p><font><b>MetaError<a name="metaerror"></a>($errno=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns a virtualized error number, based on PEAR DB's error number system. You might
need to include adodb-error.inc.php before you call this function. The parameter $errno
is the native error number you want to convert. If you do not pass any parameter, MetaError
will call ErrorNo() for you and convert it. If the error number cannot be virtualized, MetaError
will return -1 (DB_ERROR).</font></p>
<p><font><b>MetaErrorMsg<a name="metaerrormsg"></a>($errno)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Pass the error number returned by MetaError() for the equivalent textual error message.</font></p>
<p><font><b>ErrorMsg<a name="errormsg"></a>()</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the last status or error message. The error message is reset after every
call to Execute().
</font></p><p>
<font>This can return a string even if
no error occurs. In general you do not need to call this function unless an
ADOdb function returns false on an error. </font></p>
<p><font>Note: If <b>debug</b> is enabled, the SQL error message is always displayed
when the <b>Execute</b> function is called.</font></p>
<p><font><b>ErrorNo<a name="errorno"></a>()</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the last error number. The error number is reset after every call to Execute().
If 0 is returned, no error occurred.
</font></p><p>
<font>Note that old versions of PHP (pre 4.0.6) do
not support error number for ODBC. In general you do not need to call this
function unless an ADOdb function returns false on an error.</font></p>
<p><font><b>SetFetchMode<a name="setfetchmode"></a>($mode)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Sets the current fetch mode for the connection and stores
it in $db->fetchMode. Legal modes are ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC and ADODB_FETCH_NUM.
For more info, see <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>.</font></p>
<p><font>Returns the previous fetch mode, which could be false
if SetFetchMode( ) has not been called before.</font></p>
<font>
</font><p><font><b>CreateSequence<a name="createseq"></a>($seqName = 'adodbseq',$startID=1)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Create a sequence. The next time GenID( ) is called, the value returned will
be $startID. Added in 2.60.
</font></p><p><font><b>DropSequence<a name="dropseq"></a>($seqName = 'adodbseq')</b></font></p>
<p><font>Delete a sequence. Added in 2.60.
</font></p><p><font><b>GenID<a name="genid"></a>($seqName = 'adodbseq',$startID=1)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generate a sequence number . Works for interbase,
mysql, postgresql, oci8, oci8po, mssql, ODBC based (access,vfp,db2,etc) drivers
currently. Uses $seqName as the name of the sequence. GenID() will automatically
create the sequence for you if it does not exist (provided the userid has
permission to do so). Otherwise you will have to create the sequence yourself.
</font></p><p><font> If your database driver emulates sequences, the name of the table is the sequence
name. The table has one column, "id" which should be of type integer, or if
you need something larger - numeric(16).
</font></p><p><font> For ODBC and databases that do not support sequences natively (eg mssql, mysql),
we create a table for each sequence. If the sequence has not been defined
earlier, it is created with the starting value set in $startID.</font></p>
<p><font>Note that the mssql driver's GenID() before 1.90 used to generate 16 byte GUID's.</font></p>
<p><font><b>UpdateBlob<a name="updateblob"></a>($table,$column,$val,$where)</b></font></p>
<font>Allows you to store a blob (in $val) into $table into $column in a row at $where.
</font><p><font> Usage:
</font></p><p><font>
</font></p><pre><font> # for oracle<br> $conn->Execute('INSERT INTO blobtable (id, blobcol) VALUES (1, empty_blob())');<br> $conn->UpdateBlob('blobtable','blobcol',$blobvalue,'id=1');<br> <br> # non oracle databases<br> $conn->Execute('INSERT INTO blobtable (id, blobcol) VALUES (1, null)');<br> $conn->UpdateBlob('blobtable','blobcol',$blobvalue,'id=1');<br></font></pre>
<p><font> Returns true if succesful, false otherwise. Supported by MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oci8, Oci8po and Interbase drivers. Other drivers might work, depending on
the state of development.</font></p>
<p><font>Note that when an Interbase blob is retrieved using SELECT, it still needs
to be decoded using $connection->DecodeBlob($blob); to derive the original
value in versions of PHP before 4.1.0.
</font></p><p><font>For PostgreSQL, you can store your blob using blob oid's or as a bytea field.
You can use bytea fields but not blob oid's currently with UpdateBlob( ).
Conversely UpdateBlobFile( ) supports oid's, but not bytea data.<br>
<br>
If you do not pass in an oid, then UpdateBlob() assumes that you are storing
in bytea fields.
<p>If you do not have any blob fields, you can improve you can improve general SQL query performance by disabling blob handling with $connection->disableBlobs = true.
</font></p><p><font><b>UpdateClob<a name="updateclob"></a>($table,$column,$val,$where)</b></font></p>
<font>Allows you to store a clob (in $val) into $table into $column in a row at $where.
Similar to UpdateBlob (see above), but for Character Large OBjects.
</font><p><font> Usage:
</font></p><pre><font> # for oracle<br> $conn->Execute('INSERT INTO clobtable (id, clobcol) VALUES (1, empty_clob())');<br> $conn->UpdateBlob('clobtable','clobcol',$clobvalue,'id=1');<br> <br> # non oracle databases<br> $conn->Execute('INSERT INTO clobtable (id, clobcol) VALUES (1, null)');<br> $conn->UpdateBlob('clobtable','clobcol',$clobvalue,'id=1');<br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>UpdateBlobFile<a name="updateblobfile"></a>($table,$column,$path,$where,$blobtype='BLOB')</b></font></p>
<p><font>Similar to UpdateBlob, except that we pass in a file path to where the blob
resides.
</font></p><p><font>For PostgreSQL, if you are using blob oid's, use this interface. This interface
does not support bytea fields.
</font></p><p><font>Returns true if successful, false otherwise.
</font></p><p><font><b>BlobEncode<a name="blobencode" id="blobencode"></a>($blob)</b>
</font></p><p><font>Some databases require blob's to be encoded manually before upload. Note if
you use UpdateBlob( ) or UpdateBlobFile( ) the conversion is done automatically
for you and you do not have to call this function. For PostgreSQL, currently,
BlobEncode() can only be used for bytea fields.
</font></p><p><font>Returns the encoded blob value.
</font></p><p><font>Note that there is a connection property called <em>blobEncodeType</em> which
has 3 legal values:
</font></p><p><font>false - no need to perform encoding or decoding.<br>
'I' - blob encoding required, and returned encoded blob is a numeric value
(no need to quote).<br>
'C' - blob encoding required, and returned encoded blob is a character value
(requires quoting).
</font></p><p><font>This is purely for documentation purposes, so that programs that accept multiple
database drivers know what is the right thing to do when processing blobs.
</font></p><p><font><strong>BlobDecode<a name="blobdecode"></a>($blob, $maxblobsize = false)</strong>
</font></p><p><font>Some databases require blob's to be decoded manually after doing a select statement.
If the database does not require decoding, then this function will return
the blob unchanged. Currently BlobDecode is only required for one database,
PostgreSQL, and only if you are using blob oid's (if you are using bytea fields,
we auto-decode for you).</font> The default maxblobsize is set in $connection->maxblobsize, which
is set to 256K in adodb 4.54. </p><p>
In ADOdb 4.54 and later, the blob is the return value. In earlier versions, the blob data is sent to stdout.</p><font>
</font><p></p><pre><font>$rs = $db->Execute("select bloboid from postgres_table where id=$key");<br>$blob = $db->BlobDecode( reset($rs->fields) );</font></pre>
<p><font><b>Replace<a name="replace"></a>($table, $arrFields, $keyCols,$autoQuote=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Try to update a record, and if the record is not found, an insert statement
is generated and executed. Returns 0 on failure, 1 if update statement worked,
2 if no record was found and the insert was executed successfully. This differs
from MySQL's replace which deletes the record and inserts a new record. This
also means you cannot update the primary key. The only exception to this is
Interbase and its derivitives, which uses delete and insert because of some
Interbase API limitations.
</font></p><p><font>The parameters are $table which is the table name, the $arrFields which is an
associative array where the keys are the field names, and $keyCols is the name
of the primary key, or an array of field names if it is a compound key. If
$autoQuote is set to true, then Replace() will quote all values that are non-numeric;
auto-quoting will not quote nulls. Note that auto-quoting will not work if
you use SQL functions or operators.
</font></p><p><font>Examples:
</font></p><pre><font># single field primary key<br>$ret = $db->Replace('atable', <br> array('id'=>1000,'firstname'=>'Harun','lastname'=>'Al-Rashid'),<br> 'id',$autoquote = true); <br># generates UPDATE atable SET firstname='Harun',lastname='Al-Rashid' WHERE id=1000<br># or INSERT INTO atable (id,firstname,lastname) VALUES (1000,'Harun','Al-Rashid')<br><br># compound key<br>$ret = $db->Replace('atable2', <br> array('firstname'=>'Harun','lastname'=>'Al-Rashid', 'age' => 33, 'birthday' => 'null'),<br> array('lastname','firstname'),<br> $autoquote = true);<br><br># no auto-quoting<br>$ret = $db->Replace('atable2', <br> array('firstname'=>"'Harun'",'lastname'=>"'Al-Rashid'", 'age' => 'null'),<br> array('lastname','firstname')); <br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>AutoExecute<a name="autoexecute"></a>($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 $rs->tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is called.
<p><font><b>GetUpdateSQL<a name="getupdatesql"></a>(&$rs, $arrFields, $forceUpdate=false,$magicq=false, $force=null)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generate SQL to update a table given a recordset $rs, and the modified fields
of the array $arrFields (which must be an associative array holding the column
names and the new values) are compared with the current recordset. If $forceUpdate
is true, then we also generate the SQL even if $arrFields is identical to
$rs->fields. Requires the recordset to be associative. $magicq is used
to indicate whether magic quotes are enabled (see qstr()). The field names in the array
are case-insensitive.</font></p>
<font> </font><p><font>Since 4.52, we allow you to pass the $force type parameter, and this overrides the <a href="#ADODB_FORCE_TYPE">$ADODB_FORCE_TYPE</a>
global variable.

<p><font><b>Close<a name="close"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Close the database connection. PHP4 proudly states that we no longer have to

of PHP4 will automatically clean up for us.</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>$DB->BeginTrans();<br>$DB->Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>$DB->Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB->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>$DB->BeginTrans();<br>$ok = $DB->Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $ok = $DB->Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $DB->CommitTrans();<br>else $DB->RollbackTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>Another way is (since ADOdb 2.0):
</font></p><pre><font>$DB->BeginTrans();<br>$ok = $DB->Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $ok = $DB->Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB->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->StartTrans();<br>CallBlackBox();<br>$DB->Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>$DB->Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB->CompleteTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>Note that a StartTrans blocks are nestable, the inner blocks are ignored.
</font></p><p><font><b>CompleteTrans<a name="completetrans"></a>($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->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 $connection->transCnt > 0. This variable is incremented whenever BeginTrans() is called,
and decremented whenever RollbackTrans() or CommitTrans() is called.
</font></p><p><font><b>CommitTrans<a name="committrans"></a>($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 $ok=false, the data is rolled back. See example in
BeginTrans().</font></p>
<p><font><b>RollbackTrans<a name="rollbacktrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>End a transaction, rollback all changes. Returns true if successful. If the
database does not support transactions, will return false as data is never rollbacked.
</font></p>
<font>
</font><p><font><b>GetAssoc<a name="getassoc1"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false,$force_array=false,$first2cols=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns an associative array for the given query $sql with optional bind parameters
in $inputarr. If the number of columns returned is greater to two, a 2-dimensional
array is returned, with the first column of the recordset becomes the keys
to the rest of the rows. If the columns is equal to two, a 1-dimensional array
is created, where the the keys directly map to the values (unless $force_array
is set to true, when an array is created for each value).
</font></p><p><font> Examples:<a name="getassocex"></a></font></p>
<p><font>We have the following data in a recordset:</font></p>
<p><font>row1: Apple, Fruit, Edible<br>
row2: Cactus, Plant, Inedible<br>

<p><font>GetAssoc will generate the following 2-dimensional associative
array:</font></p>
<p><font>Apple => array[Fruit, Edible]<br>
Cactus => array[Plant, Inedible]<br>
Rose => array[Flower,Edible]</font></p>
<p><font>If the dataset is:</font></p>
<p><font>row1: Apple, Fruit<br>
row2: Cactus, Plant<br>
row3: Rose, Flower </font></p>
<p><font>GetAssoc will generate the following 1-dimensional associative
array (with $force_array==false):</font></p>
<p><font>Apple => Fruit</font><br>
Cactus=>Plant<br>
Rose=>Flower </p>
<p><font>The function returns:</font></p>
<p><font>The associative array, or false if an error occurs.</font></p>
<font>
<p><b>CacheGetAssoc<a name="cachegetassoc"></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql,$inputarr=false,$force_array=false,$first2cols=false)</b></p>
</font>
<p><font>Caching version of <a href="#getassoc1">GetAssoc</a> function above.
</font></p><p><font><b>GetOne<a name="getone"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Executes the SQL and returns the first field of the first row. The recordset
and remaining rows are discarded for you automatically. If an error occur, false
is returned.</font></p>
<p><font><b>GetRow<a name="getrow"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Executes the SQL and returns the first row as an array. The recordset and remaining
rows are discarded for you automatically. If an error occurs, false is returned.</font></p>
<p><font><b>GetAll<a name="getall"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p>Executes the SQL and returns the all the rows as a 2-dimensional
array. The recordset is discarded for you automatically. If an error occurs,
false is returned. <i>GetArray</i> is a synonym for <i>GetAll</i>.</p>
<p><b>GetCol<a name="getcol"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false,$trim=false)</b></p>
<p><font>Executes the SQL and returns all elements of the first column as a
1-dimensional array. The recordset is discarded for you automatically. If an error occurs,
false is returned.</font></p>
<p><font><b>CacheGetOne<a name="cachegetone"></a>([$secs2cache,]
$sql,$inputarr=false), CacheGetRow<a name="cachegetrow"></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql,$inputarr=false), CacheGetAll<a name="cachegetall"></a>([$secs2cache,]
$sql,$inputarr=false), CacheGetCol<a name="cachegetcol"></a>([$secs2cache,]
$sql,$inputarr=false,$trim=false)</b></font></p>
<font>
</font><p><font>Similar to above Get* functions, except that the recordset is serialized and
cached in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory for $secs2cache seconds. Good for speeding
up queries on rarely changing data. Note that the $secs2cache parameter is optional.
If omitted, we use the value in $connection->cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds,
or 1 hour).</font></p>
<p><font><b>Prepare<a name="prepare"></a>($sql )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Prepares (compiles) an SQL query for repeated execution. Bind parameters
are denoted by ?, except for the oci8 driver, which uses the traditional Oracle :varname
convention.
</font></p>
<p><font>Returns an array containing the original sql statement
in the first array element; the remaining elements of the array are driver dependent.
If there is an error, or we are emulating Prepare( ), we return the original
$sql string. This is because all error-handling has been centralized in Execute(
).</font></p>
<p><font>Prepare( ) cannot be used with functions that use SQL
query rewriting techniques, e.g. PageExecute( ) and SelectLimit( ).</font></p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><font>$stmt = $DB->Prepare('insert into table (col1,col2) values (?,?)');<br>for ($i=0; $i < $max; $i++)<br></font> $DB-><font>Execute($stmt,array((string) rand(), $i));<br></font></pre>
<font>
</font><p><font>Also see InParameter(), OutParameter() and PrepareSP() below. Only supported internally by interbase,
oci8 and selected ODBC-based drivers, otherwise it is emulated. There is no
performance advantage to using Prepare() with emulation.
</font></p><p><font> Important: Due to limitations or bugs in PHP, if you are getting errors when
you using prepared queries, try setting $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false before preparing.
This behaviour has been observed with ODBC.
</font></p><p><font><b>IfNull<a name="ifnull"></a>($field, $nullReplacementValue)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Portable IFNULL function (NVL in Oracle). Returns a string that represents
the function that checks whether a $field is null for the given database, and
if null, change the value returned to $nullReplacementValue. Eg.</font></p>
<pre><font>$sql = <font color="#993300">'SELECT '</font>.$db->IfNull('name', <font color="#993300">"'- unknown -'"</font>).<font color="#993300"> ' FROM table'</font>;</font></pre>
<p><font><b>length<a name="length"></a></b></font></p>
<p><font>This is not a function, but a property. Some databases have "length" and others "len"
as the function to measure the length of a string. To use this property:
</font></p><pre><font> $sql = <font color="#993300">"SELECT "</font>.$db->length.<font color="#993300">"(field) from table"</font>;<br> $rs = $db->Execute($sql);<br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>random<a name="random"></a></b></font></p>
<p><font>This is not a function, but a property. This is a string that holds the sql to
generate a random number between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive.
</font></p><p><font><b>substr<a name="substr"></a></b></font></p>
<p><font>This is not a function, but a property. Some databases have "substr" and others "substring"
as the function to retrieve a sub-string. To use this property:
</font></p><pre><font> $sql = <font color="#993300">"SELECT "</font>.$db->substr.<font color="#993300">"(field, $offset, $length) from table"</font>;<br> $rs = $db->Execute($sql);<br></font></pre>
<p><font>For all databases, the 1st parameter of <i>substr</i> is the field, the 2nd is the
offset (1-based) to the beginning of the sub-string, and the 3rd is the length of the sub-string.
</font></p><p><font><b>Param<a name="param"></a>($name)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generates a bind placeholder portably. For most databases, the bind placeholder
is "?". However some databases use named bind parameters such as Oracle, eg
":somevar". This allows us to portably define an SQL statement with bind parameters:
</font></p><pre><font>$sql = <font color="#993300">'insert into table (col1,col2) values ('</font>.$DB->Param('a').<font color="#993300">','</font>.$DB->Param('b').<font color="#993300">')'</font>;<br><font color="#006600"># generates 'insert into table (col1,col2) values (?,?)'<br># or 'insert into table (col1,col2) values (:a,:b)</font>'<br>$stmt = $DB->Prepare($sql);<br>$stmt = $DB->Execute($stmt,array('one','two'));<br></font></pre>
<font> </font>
<p></p>
<p><font><b>PrepareSP</b><b><a name="preparesp"></a></b><b>($sql,
$cursor=false )</b></font></p>
<p><font>When calling stored procedures in mssql and oci8 (oracle),
and you might want to directly bind to parameters that return values, or
for special LOB handling. PrepareSP() allows you to do so. </font></p>
<p><font>Returns the same array or $sql string as Prepare( )
above. If you do not need to bind to return values, you should use Prepare(
) instead.</font></p>
<p><font>The 2nd parameter, $cursor is not used except with oci8.
Setting it to true will force OCINewCursor to be called; this is to support
output REF CURSORs. </font></p>
<p><font>For examples of usage of PrepareSP( ), see InParameter(
) below. </font></p>
<p><font>Note: in the mssql driver, preparing stored procedures
requires a special function call, mssql_init( ), which is called by this
function. PrepareSP( ) is available in all other drivers, and is emulated
by calling Prepare( ). </font></p>
<p><font><b> InParameter<a name="inparameter"></a>($stmt, $var,
$name, $maxLen = 4000, $type = false )</b></font></p>
<font>Binds a PHP variable as input to a stored procedure variable.
The parameter <i>$stmt</i> is the value returned by PrepareSP(), <i>$var</i> is
the PHP variable you want to bind, $name is the name of the stored procedure
variable. Optional is <i>$maxLen</i>, the maximum length of the data to bind,
and $type which is database dependant. Consult <a href="http://php.net/mssql_bind">mssql_bind</a> and <a href="http://php.net/ocibindbyname">ocibindbyname</a> docs
at php.net for more info on legal values for $type. </font>
<p>
<font>InParameter() is a wrapper function that calls Parameter()
with $isOutput=false. The advantage of this function is that it is self-documenting,
because the $isOutput parameter is no longer needed. Only for mssql and oci8
currently. </font></p>
<p><font>Here is an example using oci8: </font></p>
<pre><font><font color="green"># For oracle, Prepare and PrepareSP are identical</font>
$stmt = $db->PrepareSP(
<font color="#993300">"declare RETVAL integer; <br> begin<br> :RETVAL := </font><font color="#993300">SP_RUNSOMETHING</font><font color="#993300">(:myid,:group);<br> end;"</font>);<br>$db->InParameter($stmt,$id,'myid');<br>$db->InParameter($stmt,$group,'group',64);<br>$db->OutParameter($stmt,$ret,'RETVAL');<br>$db->Execute($stmt);<br></font></pre>
<p><font> The same example using mssql:</font></p>
<font>
</font><pre><font><font color="green"># @RETVAL = SP_RUNSOMETHING @myid,@group</font>
$stmt = $db->PrepareSP(<font color="#993333">'<font color="#993300">SP_RUNSOMETHING</font>'</font>); <br><font color="green"># note that the parameter name does not have @ in front!</font>
$db->InParameter($stmt,$id,'myid');
$db->InParameter($stmt,$group,'group',64);
<font color="green"># return value in mssql - RETVAL is hard-coded name</font> <br>$db->OutParameter($stmt,$ret,'RETVAL');<br>$db->Execute($stmt); </font></pre>
<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
based on the type of the PHP variable passed <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">(string
=> SQLCHAR, boolean =>SQLINT1, integer =>SQLINT4 or float/double=>SQLFLT8)</font>.
</font></p><p><font>
In oci8, $type can be set to 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). To
pass in a null, use<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"> $db->Parameter($stmt,
$null=null, 'param')</font>.
</font></p><p><font><b> OutParameter<a name="outparameter"></a>($stmt, $var, $name,
$maxLen = 4000, $type = false )</b></font></p>
<font> Binds a PHP variable as output from a stored procedure variable. The parameter <i>$stmt</i>
is the value returned by PrepareSP(), <i>$var</i> is the PHP variable you want to bind, <i>$name</i>
is the name of the stored procedure variable. Optional is <i>$maxLen</i>, the maximum length of the
data to bind, and <i>$type</i> which is database dependant.
</font><p>
<font> OutParameter() is a wrapper function that calls Parameter() with $isOutput=true.
The advantage of this function is that it is self-documenting, because
the $isOutput parameter is no longer needed. Only for mssql
and oci8 currently.
</font></p><p>
<font>For an example, see <a href="#inparameter">InParameter</a>.
</font></p><p><font><b> Parameter<a name="parameter"></a>($stmt, $var, $name, $isOutput=false,
$maxLen = 4000, $type = false )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Note: This function is deprecated, because of the new InParameter() and OutParameter() functions.
These are superior because they are self-documenting, unlike Parameter().
</font></p><p><font>Adds a bind parameter suitable for return values or special data handling (eg.
LOBs) after a statement has been prepared using PrepareSP(). Only for mssql
and oci8 currently. The parameters are:<br>
<br>
$<i><b>stmt</b></i> Statement returned by Prepare() or PrepareSP().<br>
$<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>
[$<b>maxLen</b>] Maximum length of the parameter variable.<br>
[$<b>type</b>] Consult <a href="http://php.net/mssql_bind">mssql_bind</a> and
<a href="http://php.net/ocibindbyname">ocibindbyname</a> docs at php.net for
more info on legal values for type.</font></p>
<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 = $db->PrepareSP( <font color="#993300">"update table set val=:i where id=:id"</font>);<br>$db->Parameter($stmt,$id,'id');<br>$db->Parameter($stmt,$i, 'i');<br>for ($cnt=0; $cnt < 1000; $cnt++) {<br> $id = $cnt; <br> $i = $cnt * $cnt; <font color="green"># works with oci8!</font>
$db->Execute($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 = $DB->Prepare("insert into table (col0, col1, col2) values (:0, :1, :2)");<br>$DB->Bind($stmt, $p1);<br>$DB->Bind($stmt, $p2);<br>$DB->Bind($stmt, $p3);<br>for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) { <br> $p1 = ?; $p2 = ?; $p3 = ?;<br> $DB->Execute($stmt);<br>}</pre>
<p>You can also use named variables:</p>
<pre>$stmt = $DB->Prepare("insert into table (col0, col1, col2) values (:name0, :name1, :name2)");<br>$DB->Bind($stmt, $p1, "name0");<br>$DB->Bind($stmt, $p2, "name1");<br>$DB->Bind($stmt, $p3, "name2");<br>for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) { <br> $p1 = ?; $p2 = ?; $p3 = ?;<br> $DB->Execute($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,
timer decimal(16,6) NOT NULL
)
<b>postgres:</b>
CREATE TABLE adodb_logsql (
created timestamp NOT NULL,
sql0 varchar(250) NOT NULL,
sql1 text NOT NULL,
params text NOT NULL,
tracer text NOT NULL,
timer decimal(16,6) NOT NULL
)
<b>mssql:</b>
CREATE TABLE adodb_logsql (
created datetime NOT NULL,
sql0 varchar(250) NOT NULL,
sql1 varchar(4000) NOT NULL,
params varchar(3000) NOT NULL,
tracer varchar(500) NOT NULL,
timer decimal(16,6) NOT NULL
)
<b>oci8:</b>
CREATE TABLE adodb_logsql (
created date NOT NULL,
sql0 varchar(250) NOT NULL,
sql1 varchar(4000) NOT NULL,
params varchar(4000),
tracer varchar(4000),
timer decimal(16,6) NOT NULL
)
</pre>
Usage:
<pre> $conn->LogSQL(); // turn on logging<br> :<br> $conn->Execute(...);<br> :<br> $conn->LogSQL(false); // turn off logging<br> <br> # output summary of SQL logging results<br> $perf = NewPerfMonitor($conn);<br> echo $perf->SuspiciousSQL();<br> echo $perf->ExpensiveSQL();<br></pre>
<p>One limitation of logging is that rollback also prevents SQL from being logged.
</p><p>
If you prefer to use another name for the table used to store the SQL, you can override it by calling
adodb_perf::table($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>$db->Connect(...);<br>$db-><strong>fnExecute</strong> = 'CountExecs';<br>$db-><strong>fnCacheExecute</strong> = 'CountCachedExecs';<br> :<br> :<br><font color="#006600"># After many sql statements:</font>`<br>printf("<p>Total queries=%d; total cached=%d</p>",$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.

<h3><font>ADOConnection Utility Functions</font></h3>
<p><font><b>BlankRecordSet<a name="blankrecordset"></a>([$queryid])</b></font></p>
<p><font>No longer available - removed since 1.99.</font></p>
<p><font><b>Concat<a name="concat"></a>($s1,$s2,....)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generates the sql string used to concatenate $s1, $s2, etc together. Uses the
string in the concat_operator field to generate the concatenation. Override
this function if a concatenation operator is not used, eg. MySQL.</font></p>
<p><font>Returns the concatenated string.</font></p>
<p><font><b>DBDate<a name="dbdate"></a>($date)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Format the $<b>date</b> in the format the database accepts. This is used in
INSERT/UPDATE statements; for SELECT statements, use <a href="#sqldate">SQLDate</a>.
The $<b>date</b> parameter can be a Unix integer timestamp or an ISO format
Y-m-d. Uses the fmtDate field, which holds the format to use. If null or false
or '' is passed in, it will be converted to an SQL null.</font></p>
<p><font>Returns the date as a quoted string.</font></p>
<p><font><b>DBTimeStamp<a name="dbtimestamp"></a>($ts)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Format the timestamp $<b>ts</b> in the format the database accepts; this can
be a Unix integer timestamp or an ISO format Y-m-d H:i:s. Uses the fmtTimeStamp
field, which holds the format to use. If null or false or '' is passed in, it
will be converted to an SQL null.</font></p>
<p><font>Returns the timestamp as a quoted string.</font></p>
<p><font><b>qstr<a name="qstr"></a>($s,[$magic_quotes_enabled</b>=false]<b>)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Quotes a string to be sent to the database. The $<b>magic_quotes_enabled</b>
parameter may look funny, but the idea is if you are quoting a string extracted
from a POST/GET variable, then pass get_magic_quotes_gpc() as the second parameter.
This will ensure that the variable is not quoted twice, once by <i>qstr</i>
and once by the <i>magic_quotes_gpc</i>.</font></p>
<p><font>Eg.<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"> $s = $db->qstr(HTTP_GET_VARS['name'],get_magic_quotes_gpc());</font></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the quoted string.</font></p>
<p><font><b>Quote<a name="quote"></a>($s)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Quotes the string $s, escaping the database specific quote character as appropriate.
Formerly checked magic quotes setting, but this was disabled since 3.31 for
compatibility with PEAR DB.
</font></p><p><font><b>Affected_Rows<a name="affected_rows"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the number of rows affected by a update or delete statement. Returns
false if function not supported.</font></p>
<p><font>Not supported by interbase/firebird currently. </font></p>
<p><font><b>Insert_ID<a name="inserted_id"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the last autonumbering ID inserted. Returns false if function not supported.
</font></p>
<p><font>Only supported by databases that support auto-increment or object id's, such
as PostgreSQL, MySQL and MS SQL Server currently. PostgreSQL returns the OID, which
can change on a database reload.</font></p>
<p><font><b>RowLock<a name="rowlock"></a>($table,$where)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Lock a table row for the duration of a transaction. For example to lock record $id in table1:
</font></p><pre><font> $DB->StartTrans();<br> $DB->RowLock("table1","rowid=$id");<br> $DB->Execute($sql1);<br> $DB->Execute($sql2);<br> $DB->CompleteTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>Supported in db2, interbase, informix, mssql, oci8, postgres, sybase.
</font></p><p><font><b>MetaDatabases<a name="metadatabases"></a>()</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns a list of databases available on the server as an array. You have to
connect to the server first. Only available for ODBC, MySQL and ADO.</font></p>
<p><font><b>MetaTables<a name="metatables"></a>($ttype = false, $showSchema = false,
$mask=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns an array of tables and views for the current database as an array.
The array should exclude system catalog tables if possible. To only show tables,
use $db->MetaTables('TABLES'). To show only views, use $db->MetaTables('VIEWS').
The $showSchema parameter currently works only for DB2, and when set to true,
will add the schema name to the table, eg. "SCHEMA.TABLE". </font></p>
<p><font>You can define a mask for matching. For example, setting $mask = 'TMP%' will
match all tables that begin with 'TMP'. Currently only mssql, oci8, odbc_mssql
and postgres* support $mask.
</font></p><p><font><b>MetaColumns<a name="metacolumns"></a>($table,$notcasesensitive=true)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns an array of ADOFieldObject's, one field object for every column of
$table. A field object is a class instance with (name, type, max_length) defined.
Currently Sybase does not recognise date types, and ADO cannot identify
the correct data type (so we default to varchar).
</font></p><p><font> The $notcasesensitive parameter determines whether we uppercase or lowercase the table name to normalize it
(required for some databases). Does not work with MySQL ISAM tables.
</font></p><p><font>For schema support, pass in the $table parameter, "$schema.$tablename". This is only
supported for selected databases.
</font></p><p><font><b>MetaColumnNames<a name="metacolumnames"></a>($table,$numericIndex=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns an array of column names for $table. Since ADOdb 4.22, this is an associative array, with the
keys in uppercase. Set $numericIndex=true if you want the old behaviour of numeric indexes (since 4.23).
</font></p><p>
<font>e.g. array('FIELD1' => 'Field1', 'FIELD2'=>'Field2')
</font></p><p>
</p><p><font><b>MetaPrimaryKeys<a name="metaprimarykeys"></a>($table,
$owner=false)</b></font>
</p>
<p><font>Returns an array containing column names that are the
primary keys of $table. Supported by mysql, odbc (including db2, odbc_mssql,
etc), mssql, postgres, interbase/firebird, oci8 currently. </font></p>
<p><font>Views (and some tables) have primary keys, but sometimes this information is not available from the
database. You can define a function ADODB_View_PrimaryKeys($databaseType, $database, $view, $owner) that
should return an array containing the fields that make up the primary key. If that function exists,
it will be called when MetaPrimaryKeys() cannot find a primary key for a table or view.
</font></p><pre><font>// In this example: dbtype = 'oci8', $db = 'mydb', $view = 'dataView', $owner = false <br>function ADODB_View_PrimaryKeys($dbtype,$db,$view,$owner)<br>{<br> switch(strtoupper($view)) {<br> case 'DATAVIEW': return array('DATAID');<br> default: return false;<br> }<br>}<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('oci8');<br>$db->Connect('localhost','root','','mydb'); <br>$db->MetaPrimaryKeys('dataView');<br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>ServerInfo<a name="serverinfo" id="serverinfo"></a>()</b></font>
</p>
<p><font>Returns an array of containing two elements 'description'
and 'version'. The 'description' element contains the string description of
the database. The 'version' naturally holds the version number (which is also
a string).</font></p>
<p><font><b>MetaForeignKeys<a name="metaforeignkeys"></a>($table, $owner=false, $upper=false)</b>
</font></p><p><font>Returns an associate array of foreign keys, or false if not supported. For
example, if table employee has a foreign key where employee.deptkey points to
dept_table.deptid, and employee.posn=posn_table.postionid and employee.poscategory=posn_table.category,
then $conn->MetaForeignKeys('employee') will return
</font></p><pre><font> array(<br> 'dept_table' => array('deptkey=deptid'),<br> 'posn_table' => array('posn=positionid','poscategory=category')<br> )<br></font></pre>
<p><font>The optional schema or owner can be defined in $owner. If $upper is true, then
the table names (array keys) are upper-cased.

<h2><font>ADORecordSet<a name="adorecordset"></a></font></h2>
<p><font>When an SQL statement successfully is executed by <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ADOConnection->Execute($sql),</font>an
ADORecordSet object is returned. This object contains a virtual cursor so we
can move from row to row, functions to obtain information about the columns
and column types, and helper functions to deal with formating the results to
show to the user.</font></p>
<h3><font>ADORecordSet Fields</font></h3>
<p><font><b>fields: </b>Array containing the current row. This is not associative, but
is an indexed array from 0 to columns-1. See also the function <b><a href="#fields">Fields</a></b>,
which behaves like an associative array.</font></p>
<p><font><b>dataProvider</b>: The underlying mechanism used to connect to the database.
Normally set to <b>native</b>, unless using <b>odbc</b> or <b>ado</b>.</font></p>
<p><font><b>blobSize</b>: Maximum size of a char, string or varchar object before it
is treated as a Blob (Blob's should be shown with textarea's). See the <a href="#metatype">MetaType</a>
function.</font></p>
<p><font><b>sql</b>: Holds the sql statement used to generate this record set.</font></p>
<p><font><b>canSeek</b>: Set to true if Move( ) function works.</font></p>
<p><font><b>EOF</b>: True if we have scrolled the cursor past the last record.</font></p>
<h3><font>ADORecordSet Functions</font></h3>
<p><font><b>ADORecordSet( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Constructer. Normally you never call this function yourself.</font></p>
<p><font><b>GetAssoc<a name="getassoc"></a>([$force_array])</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generates an associative array from the recordset. Note that is this function
is also <a href="#getassoc1">available</a> in the connection object. More details
can be found there.</font></p>
<font> </font>
<p><font><b>GetArray<a name="getarray"></a>([$number_of_rows])</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generate a 2-dimensional array of records from the current
cursor position, indexed from 0 to $number_of_rows - 1. If $number_of_rows
is undefined, till EOF.</font></p>
<p><font><b>GetRows<a name="getrows"></a>([$number_of_rows])</b></font></p>
<font>Generate a 2-dimensional array of records from the current
cursor position. Synonym for GetArray() for compatibility with Microsoft ADO. </font>
<p><font> <b>GetMenu<a name="getmenu"></a>($name, [$default_str=''],
[$blank1stItem=true], [$multiple_select=false], [$size=0], [$moreAttr=''])</b></font></p>
<p><font>Generate a HTML menu (<select><option><option></select>).
The first column of the recordset (fields[0]) will hold the string to display
in the option tags. If the recordset has more than 1 column, the second column
(fields[1]) is the value to send back to the web server.. The menu will be
given the name $<i>name</i>. </font></p>
<p><font> If $<i>default_str</i> is defined, then if $<i>default_str</i> ==
fields[0], that field is selected. If $<i>blank1stItem</i> is true, the first
option is empty. You can also set the first option strings by setting $blank1stItem
= "$value:$text".</font></p>
<p><font>$<i>Default_str</i> can be array for a multiple select
listbox.</font></p>
<p><font>To get a listbox, set the $<i>size</i> to a non-zero
value (or pass $default_str as an array). If $<i>multiple_select</i> is true
then a listbox will be generated with $<i>size</i> items (or if $size==0,
then 5 items) visible, and we will return an array to a server. Lastly use
$<i>moreAttr </i> to add additional attributes such as javascript or styles. </font></p>
<p><font>Menu Example 1: <code>GetMenu('menu1','A',true)</code> will
generate a menu:
<select name="menu1"><option> </option><option value="1" selected="selected">A </option><option value="2">B </option><option value="3">C </option></select>
for the data (A,1), (B,2), (C,3). Also see <a href="#ex5">example 5</a>.</font></p>
<p><font>Menu Example 2: For the same data, <code>GetMenu('menu1',array('A','B'),false)</code> will
generate a menu with both A and B selected: <br>
<select name="menu1" multiple="multiple" size="3"><option value="1" selected="selected">A </option><option value="2" selected="selected">B </option><option value="3">C </option></select>
</font></p>
<p><font> <b>GetMenu2<a name="getmenu2"></a>($name, [$default_str=''],
[$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 = $conn->OffsetDate(7); // returns "(trunc(sysdate)+7")</font></pre>
<pre><font># get date and time that is 60 hours from current date and time<br>$fld = $conn->OffsetDate(2.5, $conn->sysTimeStamp); // returns "(sysdate+2.5)"<br><br>$conn->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->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->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->fields array
is set to false (this was only implemented consistently in ADOdb 3.30). For
the pre-3.30 behaviour of $this->fields (at EOF), set the global variable
$ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH = true.</font></p>
<p><font>Example:</font></p>
<pre><font>$rs = $db->Execute($sql);<br>if ($rs) <br> while (!$rs->EOF) {<br> ProcessArray($rs->fields); <br> $rs->MoveNext();<br> } </font></pre>
<p><font><b>Move<a name="move"></a>($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] => 1 [FIRSTNAME] => Caroline [LASTNAME] => Miranda [CREATED]
=> 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 = $db->Execute($sql);<br>if ($rs)<br> while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) {<br> # process $arr <br> }</font></pre>
<p><font><b>FetchInto</b><a name="fetchinto"></a>(<b>&$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 = $rs->PO_RecordCount("articles_table", "group=$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 = $db->Execute('execute return_multiple_rs');<br>$arr1 = $rs->GetArray();<br>$rs->NextRecordSet();<br>$arr2 = $rs->GetArray();</font></pre>
<p><font><b>FetchObject<a name="fetchobject"></a>($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 = $db->Execute('select firstname,lastname from table');<br>if ($rs) {<br> while ($o = $rs->FetchNextObject()) {<br> print "$o->FIRSTNAME, $o->LASTNAME<BR>";<br> }<br>}<br></font></pre>
<p><font>There is some trade-off in speed in using FetchNextObject().
If performance is important, you should access rows with the <code>fields[]</code> array. <b>FetchObj<a name="fetchobj" id="fetchobj"></a>()</b> </font></p>
<p><font>Returns the current record as an object. Fields are
not upper-cased, unlike FetchObject.
</font></p>
<p><font><b>FetchNextObj<a name="fetchnextobj" id="fetchnextobj"></a>()</b> </font></p>
<p><font>Returns the current record as an object and moves to
the next record. If EOF, false is returned. Fields are not upper-cased, unlike
FetctNextObject. </font></p>
<font>
<p><b>CurrentRow<a name="currentrow"></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Returns the current row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
<p><b>AbsolutePosition<a name="abspos"></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Synonym for <b>CurrentRow</b> for compatibility with ADO. Returns the current
row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
<p><b>MetaType<a name="metatype"></a>($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->MetaType('char') will return 'C'.
<p>Returns:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>C</b>: Character fields that should be shown in a <input type="text"> tag. </li>
<li><b>X</b>: Clob (character large objects), or large text fields that should
be shown in a <textarea></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>: 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->Move()</font> uses
absolute positioning, not relative. Bookmarks are not supported.</li>
<li><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ADORecordSet->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>

<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>

<p>Fixed typo in mysqlt driver in adorecordset. Thx to Andy Staudacher.
<p>GenID() had a bug in the raiseErrorFn handling. Fixed. Thx Marcos Pont.
<p>Datadict name quoting now handles ( ) in index fields correctly - they aren't part of the index field.
<p>Performance monitoring: (1) oci8 Ixora checks moved down; (2) expensive sql changed so that only those sql with
count(*)>1 are shown; (3) changed sql1 field to a length+crc32 checksum - this breaks backward compat.
<p>We remap firebird15 to firebird in data dictionary.
<p><a name="4.62"></a><b>4.62 2 Apr 2005</b>

strings work fine.
<p>_rs2serialize will now update $rs->sql and $rs->oldProvider.
<p>Added autoExecute().
<p>Added support for postgres8 driver. Currently just remapped to postgres7 driver.
<p>Changed oci8 _query(), so that OCIBindByName() sets the length to -1 if element size is > 4000. This provides better support
for LONGs.

</p><p>Found bug in Execute() with bind params for db's that do not support binding natively.
</p><p>DropSequence() now correctly uses default parameter.
</p><p>Now Execute() ignores locale for floats, so 1.23 is NEVER converted to 1,23.
</p><p>SetFetchMode() not properly saved in adodb-perf, suspicious sql and expensive sql. Fixed.
</p><p>Added INET to postgresql metatypes. Thx motzel.
</p><p>Allow oracle hints to work when counting with _adodb_getcount in adodb-lib.inc.php. Thx Chris Wrye.
</p><p>Changed mysql insert_id() to use SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID().
</p><p>If alter col in datadict does not modify col type/size of actual

perfect as MetaType() !== ActualType().
</p><p>Added handling of view fields in metacolumns() for postgresql. Thx Renato De Giovanni.
</p><p>Added to informix MetaPrimaryKeys and MetaColumns fixes for null bit. Thx to Cecilio Albero.
</p><p>Removed obsolete connection_timeout() from perf code.
</p><p>Added support for arrayClass in adodb-csv.inc.php.

</p><p>Changed CacheFlush to $cmd = 'rm -rf '.$ADODB_CACHE_DIR.'/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/';
</p><p>For better cursor concurrency, added code to free ref cursors in
oci8 when $rs->Close() is called. Note that CLose() is called
internally by the Get* functions too.
</p><p>Added IIF support for access when pivoting. Thx Volodia Krupach.
</p><p>Added mssql datadict support for timestamp. Thx Alexios.
</p><p>Informix pager fix. By Mario Ramirez.
</p><p>ADODB_TABLE_REGEX now includes ':'. By Mario Ramirez.
</p><p>Mark Newnham contributed MetaIndexes for oci8 and db2.
</p><p><a name="4.54"></a><b>4.54 5 Nov 2004</b>
</p><p>
Now you can set $db->charSet = ?? before doing a Connect() in oci8.
</p><p>
Added adodbFetchMode to sqlite.
</p><p>
Perf code, added a string typecast to substr in adodb_log_sql().
</p><p>
Postgres: Changed BlobDecode() to use po_loread, added new $maxblobsize parameter, and now it returns the blob instead
of sending it to stdout - make sure to mention that as a compat warning.
Also added $db->IsOID($oid) function; uses a heuristic, not guaranteed to work 100%.
</p><p>
Contributed arabic language file by "El-Shamaa, Khaled" k.el-shamaa#cgiar.org
</p><p>
PHP5 exceptions did not handle @ protocol properly. Fixed.
</p><p>

</p><p>
Improved Sybase ErrorMsg() function. By Gaetano Giunta.
</p><p>
Improved oci8 SelectLimit() to use Prepare(). By Cristiano Duarte.
</p><p>
Type-cast $row parameter in ifx_fetch_row() to int. Thx stefan bodgan.
</p><p>Ralf becker contributed improvements in postgresql, sapdb, mysql data dictionary handling:<br>
- MySql and Postgres MetaType was reporting every int column which was
part of a primary key and unique as serial<br>
- Postgres was not reporting the scale of decimal types<br>
- MaxDB was padding the defaults of none-string types with spaces<br>
- MySql now correctly converts enum columns to varchar
</p><p>
Ralf also changed Postgresql datadict:<br>
- you cant add NOT NULL columns in postgres in one go, they need to be
added as NULL and then altered to NOT NULL<br>
- AlterColumnSQL could not change a varchar column with numbers into an
integer column, postgres need an explicit conversation<br>
- a re-created sequence was not set to the correct value, if the name
was the old name (no implicit sequence), now always the new name of the
implicit sequence is used<br>
</p><p>Sergio Strampelli added extra $intoken check to Lens_ParseArgs() in datadict code.
</p><p><a name="4.53"></a><b>4.53 28 Sept 2004</b>
</p><p>FetchMode cached in recordset is sometimes mapped to native db fetchMode. Normally this does not matter,
but when using cached recordsets, we need to switch back to using adodb fetchmode. So we cache this
in $rs->adodbFetchMode if it differs from the db's fetchMode.
</p><p>For informix we now set canSeek = false driver because stefan bodgan tells me that seeking doesn't work.
</p><p>SetDateLocale() never worked till now ;-) Thx david#tomato.it
</p><p>Set $_bindInputArray = true in sapdb driver. Required for clob support.
</p><p>Fixed some PEAR::DB emulation issues with isError() and isWarning. Thx to Gert-Rainer Bitterlich.
</p><p>Empty() used in getupdatesql without strlen() check. Fixed.</p>
<p>Added unsigned detection to mysql and mysqli drivers. Thx to dan cech.
</p><p>Added hungarian language file. Thx to Halászvári Gábor.
</p><p>Improved fieldname-type formatting of datadict SQL generated (adding $widespacing parameter to _GenField).
</p><p>Datadict oci8 DROP CONSTRAINTS misspelt. Fixed. Thx Mark Newnham.
</p><p>Changed odbtp to dynamically change databaseType based on connection, eg. from 'odbtp' to 'odbtp_mssql' when connecting
to mssql database.
</p><p>In datadict, MySQL I4 was wrongly mapped to MEDIUMINT, which is actually I3. Fixed.
</p><p>Fixed mysqli MetaType() recognition. Mysqli returns numeric types unlike mysql extension. Thx Francesco Riosa.
</p><p>VFP odbc driver curmode set wrongly, causing problems with memo fields. Fixed.
</p><p>Odbc driver did not recognize odbc version 2 driver date types properly. Fixed. Thx Bostjan.
</p><p>ChangeTableSQL() fixes to datadict-db2.inc.php by Mark Newnham.
</p><p>Perf monitoring with odbc improved. Now we try in perf code to manually set the sysTimeStamp using date() if sysTimeStamp
is empty.
</p><p>All ADO errors are thrown as exceptions in PHP5.
So we added exception handling to ado in PHP5 by creating new adodb-ado5.inc.php driver.
</p><p>Added IsConnected(). Returns true if connection object connected. By Luca.Gioppo.
</p><p>"Ralf Becker"
RalfBecker#digitalROCK.de contributed new sapdb data-dictionary driver
and a large patch that implements field and table renaming for oracle,
mssql, postgresql, mysql and sapdb. See the new RenameTableSQL() and
RenameColumnSQL() functions.
</p><p>We now check ExecuteCursor to see if PrepareSP was initially called.
</p><p>Changed oci8 datadict to use MODIFY for $dd->alterCol. Thx Mark Newnham.
</p><p><a name="4.52"></a><b>4.52 10 Aug 2004</b>
</p><p>Bug found in Replace() when performance logging enabled, introduced in ADOdb 4.50. Fixed.
</p><p>Replace() checks update stmt. If update stmt fails, we now return immediately. Thx to alex.
</p><p>Added support for $ADODB_FORCE_TYPE in GetUpdateSQL/GetInsertSQL. Thx to niko.
</p><p>Added ADODB_ASSOC_CASE support to postgres/postgres7 driver.
</p><p>Support for DECLARE stmt in oci8. Thx Lochbrunner.
</p><p><a name="4.51"></a><b>4.51 29 July 2004</b>
</p><p>Added adodb-xmlschema 1.0.2. Thx dan and richard.
</p><p>Added new adorecordset_ext_* classes. If ADOdb extension installed for mysql, mysqlt and oci8
(but not oci8po), we use the superfast ADOdb extension code for movenext.
</p><p>Added schema support to mssql and odbc_mssql MetaPrimaryKeys().
</p><p>Patched MSSQL driver to support PHP NULL and Boolean values
while binding the input array parameters in the _query() function. By Stephen Farmer.
</p><p>Added support for clob's for mssql, UpdateBlob(). Thx to gfran#directa.com.br
</p><p>Added normalize support for postgresql (true=lowercase table name, or false=case-sensitive table names)
to MetaColumns($table, $normalize=true).
</p><p>PHP5 variant dates in ADO not working. Fixed in adodb-ado.inc.php.
</p><p>Constant ADODB_FORCE_NULLS was not working properly for many releases (for GetUpdateSQL). Fixed.
Also GetUpdateSQL strips off ORDER BY now - thx Elieser Leão.
</p><p>Perf Monitor for oci8 now dynamically highlights optimizer_* params if too high/low.
</p><p>Added dsn support to NewADOConnection/ADONewConnection.
</p><p>Fixed out of page bounds bug in _adodb_pageexecute_all_rows() Thx to "Sergio Strampelli" sergio#rir.it
</p><p>Speedup of movenext for mysql and oci8 drivers.
</p><p>Moved debugging code _adodb_debug_execute() to adodb-lib.inc.php.
</p><p>Fixed postgresql bytea detection bug. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=9849.
</p><p>Fixed ibase datetimestamp typo in PHP5. Thx stefan.
</p><p>Removed whitespace at end of odbtp drivers.
</p><p>Added db2 metaprimarykeys fix.
</p><p>Optimizations to MoveNext() for mysql and oci8. Misc speedups to Get* functions.
</p><p><a name="4.50"></a><b>4.50 6 July 2004</b>
</p><p>Bumped it to 4.50 to avoid confusion with PHP 4.3.x series.
</p><p>Added db2 metatables and metacolumns extensions.
</p><p>Added alpha PDO driver. Very buggy, only works with odbc.
</p><p>Tested mysqli. Set poorAffectedRows = true. Cleaned up movenext() and _fetch().
</p><p>PageExecute does not work properly with php5 (return val not a variable). Reported Dmytro Sychevsky sych#php.com.ua. Fixed.
</p><p>MetaTables() for mysql, $showschema parameter was not backward compatible with older versions of adodb. Fixed.
</p><p>Changed mysql GetOne() to work with mysql 3.23 when using with non-select stmts (e.g. SHOW TABLES).
</p><p>Changed TRIG_ prefix to a variable in datadict-oci8.inc.php. Thx to Luca.Gioppo#csi.it.
</p><p>New to adodb-time code. We allow you to define your own daylights savings function,
adodb_daylight_sv for pre-1970 dates. If the function is defined
(somewhere in an include), then you can correct
for daylights savings. See http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/node/view/16#daylightsavings
for more info.
</p><p>New sqlitepo driver. This is because assoc mode does not work like other drivers in sqlite.
Namely, when selecting (joining) multiple tables, in assoc mode the table
names are included in the assoc keys in the "sqlite" driver.
In "sqlitepo" driver, the table names are stripped from the returned column names.
When this results in a conflict, the first field get preference.
Contributed by Herman Kuiper herman#ozuzo.net
</p><p>Added $forcenull parameter to GetInsertSQL/GetUpdateSQL. Idea by Marco Aurelio Silva.
</p><p>More XHTML changes for GetMenu. By Jeremy Evans.
</p><p>Fixes some ibase date issues. Thx to stefan bogdan.
</p><p>Improvements to mysqli driver to support $ADODB_COUNTRECS.
</p><p>Fixed adodb-csvlib.inc.php problem when reading stream from socket. We need to poll stream continiously.
</p><p><a name="4.23"></a><b>4.23 16 June 2004</b>
</p><p>
New interbase/firebird fixes thx to Lester Caine.
Driver fixes a problem with getting field names in the result array, and
corrects a couple of data conversions. Also we default to dialect3 for firebird.
Also ibase sysDate property was wrong. Changed to cast as timestamp.
</p><p>
The datadict driver is set up to give quoted tables and fields as this
was the only way round reserved words being used as field names in
TikiWiki. TikiPro is tidying that up, and I hope to be able to produce a
build of THAT which uses what I consider proper UPPERCASE field and
table names. The conversion of TikiWiki to ADOdb helped in that, but
until the database is completely tidied up in TikiPro ...
</p><p>Modified _gencachename() to include fetchmode in name hash.
This means you should clear your cache directory after installing this release as the
cache name algorithm has changed.
</p><p>Now Cache* functions work in safe
mode, because we do not create sub-directories in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR
in safe mode. In non-safe mode we still create sub-directories. Done by
modifying _gencachename().
</p><p>Added $gmt parameter (true/false)
to UserDate and UserTimeStamp in connection class, to force conversion
of input (in local time) to be converted to UTC/GMT.
</p><p>Mssql datadict did not support INT types properly (no size param allowed).
Added _GetSize() to datadict-mssql.inc.php.
</p><p>For borland_ibase, BeginTrans(), changed:<br>
</p><pre> $this->_transactionID = $this->_connectionID;</pre>
to<br>
<pre> $this->_transactionID = ibase_trans($this->ibasetrans, $this->_connectionID);</pre>
<p>Fixed typo in mysqi_field_seek(). Thx to Sh4dow (sh4dow#php.pl).
</p><p>LogSQL did not work with Firebird/Interbase. Fixed.
</p><p>Postgres: made errorno() handling more consistent. Thx to Michael Jahn, Michael.Jahn#mailbox.tu-dresden.de.
</p><p>Added informix patch to better support metatables, metacolumns by "Cecilio Albero" c-albero#eos-i.com
</p><p>Cyril Malevanov contributed patch to oci8 to support passing of LOB parameters:
</p><pre> $text = 'test test test';<br> $sql = "declare rs clob; begin :rs := lobinout(:sa0); end;";<br> $stmt = $conn -> PrepareSP($sql);<br> $conn -> InParameter($stmt,$text,'sa0', -1, OCI_B_CLOB);<br> $rs = '';<br> $conn -> OutParameter($stmt,$rs,'rs', -1, OCI_B_CLOB);<br> $conn -> Execute($stmt);<br> echo "return = ".$rs."<br>";<br></pre>
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 $var as LOB, we create new descriptor and return it as a<br> Bind Result, so if we want to use OUT parameters, we have to store<br> somewhere &$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>Simplified Connect() and PConnect() error handling.
</p><p>When extension not loaded, Connect() and PConnect() will return null. On connect error, the fns will return false.
</p><p>CacheGetArray() added to code.

</p><p>Contributed bulgarian language file by Valentin Sheiretsky valio#valio.eu.org.
</p><p>Contributed romanian language file by stefan bogdan.
</p><p>GetInsertSQL now checks for table name (string) in $rs, and will create a recordset for that
table automatically. Contributed by Walt Boring. Also added OCI_B_BLOB in bind on Walt's request - hope
it doesn't break anything :-)
</p><p>Some minor postgres speedups in _initrs().
</p><p> ChangeTableSQL checks now if MetaColumns returns empty. Thx Jason Judge.

</p><p>Updated PHP5 RC1 iterator support. API changed, hasMore() renamed to valid().
</p><p>Changed internal format of serialized cache recordsets. As we store a version number, this should be
backward compatible.

</p><p>Added double quotes (") to ADODB_TABLE_REGEX.
</p><p>For oci8, Prepare(...,$cursor),
$cursor's meaning was accidentally inverted in 4.11. This causes
problems with ExecuteCursor() too, which calls Prepare() internally.
Thx to William Lovaton.
</p><p>Now dateHasTime property in connection object renamed to datetime for consistency. This could break bc.
</p><p>Csongor Halmai reports that db2 SelectLimit with input array is not working. Fixed..
</p><p><b>4.11 27 Jan 2004</b>
</p><p>Csongor Halmai reports db2 binding not working. Reverted back to emulated binding.

This will break backward compat, if Prepare/Execute is used instead of ExecuteCursor. Reported by Chris Jones.

are self-documenting.
</p><p>Added 'R' handling in ActualType() to datadict-mysql.inc.php
