<h3><li>Introduction</h3>
<p>
ADOdb_Active_Record is an Object Relation Mapping (ORM) implementation using PHP. In an ORM system, the tables and rows of the database are abstracted into native PHP objects. This allows the programmer to focus more on manipulating the data and less on writing SQL queries.
<p>
This implementation differs from Zend Framework's implementation in the following ways:
<ul>
<li>Works with PHP4 and PHP5 and provides equivalent functionality in both versions of PHP.<p>
<li>ADOdb_Active_Record works when you are connected to multiple databases. Zend's only works when connected to a default database.<p>
<li>Support for $ADODB_ASSOC_CASE. The field names are upper-cased, lower-cased or left in natural case depending on this setting.<p>
<li>No field name conversion to camel-caps style, unlike Zend's implementation which will convert field names such as 'first_name' to 'firstName'.<p>
<li>New ADOConnection::GetActiveRecords() and ADOConnection::GetActiveRecordsClass() functions in adodb.inc.php.<p>
<li>Caching of table metadata so it is only queried once per table, no matter how many Active Records are created.<p>
<li>The additional functionality is described <a href=#additional>below</a>.
</ul>
<P>
ADOdb_Active_Record is designed upon the principles of the "ActiveRecord" design pattern, which was first described by Martin Fowler. The ActiveRecord pattern has been implemented in many forms across the spectrum of programming languages. ADOdb_Active_Record attempts to represent the database as closely to native PHP objects as possible.
<p>
ADOdb_Active_Record maps a database table to a PHP class, and each instance of that class represents a table row. Relations between tables can also be defined, allowing the ADOdb_Active_Record objects to be nested.
<p>
 
<h3><li>Setting the Database Connection</h3>
<p>
The first step to using ADOdb_Active_Record is to set the default connection that an ADOdb_Active_Record objects will use to connect to a database.
 
<pre>
require_once('adodb/adodb-active-record.php');
 
$db = new ADOConnection('mysql://root:pwd@localhost/dbname');
ADOdb_Active_Record::SetDatabaseAdapter($db);
</pre>
 
<h3><li>Table Rows as Objects</h3>
<p>
First, let's create a temporary table in our MySQL database that we can use for demonstrative purposes throughout the rest of this tutorial. We can do this by sending a CREATE query:
 
<pre>
$db->Execute("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `persons` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name_first` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`name_last` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`favorite_color` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
");
</pre>
<p>
ADOdb_Active_Record's are object representations of table rows. Each table in the database is represented by a class in PHP. To begin working with a table as a ADOdb_Active_Record, a class that extends ADOdb_Active_Records needs to be created for it.
 
<pre>
class Person extends ADOdb_Active_Record{}
$person = new Person();
</pre>
 
<p>
In the above example, a new ADOdb_Active_Record object $person was created to access the "persons" table. Zend_Db_DataObject takes the name of the class, pluralizes it (according to American English rules), and assumes that this is the name of the table in the database.
<p>
This kind of behavior is typical of ADOdb_Active_Record. It will assume as much as possible by convention rather than explicit configuration. In situations where it isn't possible to use the conventions that ADOdb_Active_Record expects, options can be overridden as we'll see later.
 
<h3><li>Table Columns as Object Properties</h3>
<p>
When the $person object was instantiated, ADOdb_Active_Record read the table metadata from the database itself, and then exposed the table's columns (fields) as object properties.
<p>
Our "persons" table has three fields: "name_first", "name_last", and "favorite_color". Each of these fields is now a property of the $person object. To see all these properties, use the ADOdb_Active_Record::getAttributeNames() method:
<pre>
var_dump($person->getAttributeNames());
 
/**
* Outputs the following:
* array(4) {
* [0]=>
* string(2) "id"
* [1]=>
* string(9) "name_first"
* [2]=>
* string(8) "name_last"
* [3]=>
* string(13) "favorite_color"
* }
*/
</pre>
<p>
One big difference between ADOdb and Zend's implementation is we do not automatically convert to camelCaps style.
<p>
<h3><li>Inserting and Updating a Record</h3><p>
 
An ADOdb_Active_Record object is a representation of a single table row. However, when our $person object is instantiated, it does not reference any particular row. It is a blank record that does not yet exist in the database. An ADOdb_Active_Record object is considered blank when its primary key is NULL. The primary key in our persons table is "id".
<p>
To insert a new record into the database, change the object's properties and then call the ADOdb_Active_Record::save() method:
<pre>
$person = new Person();
$person->nameFirst = 'Andi';
$person->nameLast = 'Gutmans';
$person->save();
</pre>
<p>
Oh, no! The above code snippet does not insert a new record into the database. Instead, outputs an error:
<pre>
1048: Column 'name_first' cannot be null
</pre>
<p>
This error occurred because MySQL rejected the INSERT query that was generated by ADOdb_Active_Record. If exceptions are enabled in ADOdb and you are using PHP5, an error will be thrown. In the definition of our table, we specified all of the fields as NOT NULL; i.e., they must contain a value.
<p>
ADOdb_Active_Records are bound by the same contraints as the database tables they represent. If the field in the database cannot be NULL, the corresponding property in the ADOdb_Active_Record also cannot be NULL. In the example above, we failed to set the property $person->favoriteColor, which caused the INSERT to be rejected by MySQL.
<p>
To insert a new ADOdb_Active_Record in the database, populate all of ADOdb_Active_Record's properties so that they satisfy the constraints of the database table, and then call the save() method:
<pre>
/**
* Calling the save() method will successfully INSERT
* this $person into the database table.
*/
$person = new Person();
$person->name_first = 'Andi';
$person->name_last = 'Gutmans';
$person->favorite_color = 'blue';
$person->save();
</pre>
<p>
Once this $person has been INSERTed into the database by calling save(), the primary key can now be read as a property. Since this is the first row inserted into our temporary table, its "id" will be 1:
<pre>
var_dump($person->id);
 
/**
* Outputs the following:
* string(1)
*/
</pre>
<p>
From this point on, updating it is simply a matter of changing the object's properties and calling the save() method again:
 
<pre>
$person->favorite_color = 'red';
$person->save();
</pre>
<p>
The code snippet above will change the favorite color to red, and then UPDATE the record in the database.

<h2>ADOdb Specific Functionality</h2>
<h3><li>Setting the Table Name</h3>
<p>The default behaviour on creating an ADOdb_Active_Record is to "pluralize" the class name and use that as the table name. Often, this is not the case. For example, the Person class could be reading from the "People" table. We provide a constructor parameter to override the default table naming behaviour.
<pre>
class Person extends ADOdb_Active_Record{}
$person = new Person('People');
</pre>
<h3><li>$ADODB_ASSOC_CASE</h3>
<p>This allows you to control the case of field names and properties. For example, all field names in Oracle are upper-case by default. So you
can force field names to be lowercase using $ADODB_ASSOC_CASE. Legal values are as follows:
<pre>
0: lower-case
1: upper-case
2: native-case
</pre>
<p>So to force all Oracle field names to lower-case, use
<pre>
$ADODB_ASSOC_CASE = 0;
$person = new Person('People');
$person->name = 'Lily';
$ADODB_ASSOC_CASE = 2;
$person2 = new Person('People');
$person2->NAME = 'Lily';
</pre>
 
<p>Also see <a href=http://phplens.com/adodb/reference.constants.adodb_assoc_case.html>$ADODB_ASSOC_CASE</a>.
 
<h3><li>ADOdb_Active_Record::Replace</h3>
<p>
ADOdb supports replace functionality, whereby the record is inserted if it does not exists, or updated otherwise.
<pre>
$rec = new ADOdb_Active_Record("product");
$rec->name = 'John';
$rec->tel_no = '34111145';
$ok = $rec->replace(); // 0=failure, 1=update, 2=insert
</pre>
 
 
<h3><li>ADOdb_Active_Record::Load()</h3>
<p>Sometimes, we want to load a single record into an Active Record. We can do so using:
<pre>
$person->load("id=3");
 
// or using bind parameters
 
$person->load("id=?", array(3));
</pre>
<p>Returns false if an error occurs.
 
<h3><li>Error Handling and Debugging</h3>
<p>
In PHP5, if adodb-exceptions.inc.php is included, then errors are thrown. Otherwise errors are handled by returning a value. False by default means an error has occurred. You can get the last error message using the ErrorMsg() function.
<p>
To check for errors in ADOdb_Active_Record, do not poll ErrorMsg() as the last error message will always be returned, even if it occurred several operations ago. Do this instead:
<pre>
# right!
$ok = $rec->Save();
if (!$ok) $err = $rec->ErrorMsg();
 
# wrong :(
$rec->Save();
if ($rec->ErrorMsg()) echo "Wrong way to detect error";
</pre>
<p>The ADOConnection::Debug property is obeyed. So
if $db->debug is enabled, then ADOdb_Active_Record errors are also outputted to standard output and written to the browser.
 
<h3><li>ADOdb_Active_Record::Set()</h3>
<p>You can convert an array to an ADOdb_Active_Record using Set(). The array must be numerically indexed, and have all fields of the table defined in the array. The elements of the array must be in the table's natural order too.
<pre>
$row = $db->GetRow("select * from tablex where id=$id");
 
# PHP4 or PHP5 without enabling exceptions
$obj =& new ADOdb_Active_Record('Products');
if ($obj->ErrorMsg()){
echo $obj->ErrorMsg();
} else {
$obj->Set($row);
}
 
# in PHP5, with exceptions enabled:
 
include('adodb-exceptions.inc.php');
try {
$obj =& new ADOdb_Active_Record('Products');
$obj->Set($row);
} catch(exceptions $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
</pre>
<p>
<h3><li>Primary Keys</h3>
<p>
ADOdb_Active_Record does not require the table to have a primary key. You can insert records for such a table, but you will not be able to update nor delete.
<p>Sometimes you are retrieving data from a view or table that has no primary key, but has a unique index. You can dynamically set the primary key of a table through the constructor, or using ADOdb_Active_Record::SetPrimaryKeys():
<pre>
$pkeys = array('category','prodcode');
// set primary key using constructor
$rec = new ADOdb_Active_Record('Products', $pkeys);
// or use method
$rec->SetPrimaryKeys($pkeys);
</pre>
<h3><li>Retrieval of Auto-incrementing ID</h3>
When creating a new record, the retrieval of the last auto-incrementing ID is not reliable for databases that do not support the Insert_ID() function call (check $connection->hasInsertID). In this case we perform a <b>SELECT MAX($primarykey) FROM $table</b>, which will not work reliably in a multi-user environment. You can override the ADOdb_Active_Record::LastInsertID() function in this case.
 
<h3><li>Dealing with Multiple Databases</h3>
<p>
Sometimes we want to load data from one database and insert it into another using ActiveRecords. This can be done using the optional parameter of the ADOdb_Active_Record constructor. In the following example, we read data from db.table1 and store it in db2.table2:
<pre>
$db = NewADOConnection(...);
$db2 = NewADOConnection(...);
 
ADOdb_Active_Record::SetDatabaseAdapter($db2);
 
$activeRecs = $db->GetActiveRecords('table1');
 
foreach($activeRecs as $rec) {
$rec2 = new ADOdb_Active_Record('table2',$db2);
$rec2->id = $rec->id;
$rec2->name = $rec->name;
$rec2->Save();
}
</pre>
<p>
If you have to pass in a primary key called "id" and the 2nd db connection in the constructor, you can do so too:
<pre>
$rec = new ADOdb_Active_Record("table1",array("id"),$db2);
</pre>
 
<h3><li>Active Record Considered Bad?</h3>
<p>Although the Active Record concept is useful, you have to be aware of some pitfalls when using Active Record. The level of granularity of Active Record is individual records. It encourages code like the following, used to increase the price of all furniture products by 10%:
<pre>
$recs = $db->GetActiveRecords("Products","category='Furniture'");
foreach($recs as $rec) {
$rec->price *= 1.1; // increase price by 10% for all Furniture products
$rec->save();
}
</pre>
Of course a SELECT statement is superior because it's simpler and much more efficient (probably by a factor of x10 or more):
<pre>
$db->Execute("update Products set price = price * 1.1 where category='Furniture'");
</pre>
<p>Another issue is performance. For performance sensitive code, using direct SQL will always be faster than using Active Records due to overhead and the fact that all fields in a row are retrieved (rather than only the subset you need) whenever an Active Record is loaded.
 
 
<h2>ADOConnection Supplement</h2>
 
<h3><li>ADOConnection::GetActiveRecords()</h3>
<p>
This allows you to retrieve an array of ADOdb_Active_Records. Returns false if an error occurs.
<pre>
$table = 'products';
$whereOrderBy = "name LIKE 'A%' ORDER BY Name";
$activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecords($table, $whereOrderBy);
foreach($activeRecArr as $rec) {
$rec->id = rand();
$rec->save();
}
</pre>
<p>
And to retrieve all records ordered by specific fields:
<pre>
$whereOrderBy = "1=1 ORDER BY Name";
$activeRecArr = $db->ADOdb_Active_Records($table);
</pre>
<p>
To use bind variables (assuming ? is the place-holder for your database):
<pre>
$activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecords($tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
array('A%'));
</pre>
<p>You can also define the primary keys of the table by passing an array of field names:
<pre>
$activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecords($tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
array('A%'), array('id'));
</pre>
 
<h3><li>ADOConnection::GetActiveRecordsClass()</h3>
<p>
This allows you to retrieve an array of objects derived from ADOdb_Active_Records. Returns false if an error occurs.
<pre>
class Product extends ADOdb_Active_Records{};
$table = 'products';
$whereOrderBy = "name LIKE 'A%' ORDER BY Name";
$activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecordsClass('Product',$table, $whereOrderBy);
 
# the objects in $activeRecArr are of class 'Product'
foreach($activeRecArr as $rec) {
$rec->id = rand();
$rec->save();
}
</pre>
<p>
To use bind variables (assuming ? is the place-holder for your database):
<pre>
$activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecordsClass($className,$tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
array('A%'));
</pre>
<p>You can also define the primary keys of the table by passing an array of field names:
<pre>
$activeRecArr = $db->GetActiveRecordsClass($className,$tableName, 'name LIKE ?',
array('A%'), array('id'));
</pre>
 
</ol>
 
<h2>Code Sample</h2>
<p>The following works with PHP4 and PHP5
<pre>
include('../adodb.inc.php');
include('../adodb-active-record.inc.php');
 
// uncomment the following if you want to test exceptions
#if (PHP_VERSION >= 5) include('../adodb-exceptions.inc.php');
 
$db = NewADOConnection('mysql://root@localhost/northwind');
$db->debug=1;
ADOdb_Active_Record::SetDatabaseAdapter($db);
 
$db->Execute("CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE `persons` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name_first` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`name_last` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`favorite_color` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
");
class Person extends ADOdb_Active_Record{}
$person = new Person();
 
echo "&lt;p>Output of getAttributeNames: ";
var_dump($person->getAttributeNames());
 
/**
* Outputs the following:
* array(4) {
* [0]=>
* string(2) "id"
* [1]=>
* string(9) "name_first"
* [2]=>
* string(8) "name_last"
* [3]=>
* string(13) "favorite_color"
* }
*/
 
$person = new Person();
$person->nameFirst = 'Andi';
$person->nameLast = 'Gutmans';
$person->save(); // this save() will fail on INSERT as favorite_color is a must fill...
 
 
$person = new Person();
$person->name_first = 'Andi';
$person->name_last = 'Gutmans';
$person->favorite_color = 'blue';
$person->save(); // this save will perform an INSERT successfully
 
echo "&lt;p>The Insert ID generated:"; print_r($person->id);
 
$person->favorite_color = 'red';
$person->save(); // this save() will perform an UPDATE
 
$person = new Person();
$person->name_first = 'John';
$person->name_last = 'Lim';
$person->favorite_color = 'lavender';
$person->save(); // this save will perform an INSERT successfully
 
// load record where id=2 into a new ADOdb_Active_Record
$person2 = new Person();
$person2->Load('id=2');
var_dump($person2);
 
// retrieve an array of records
$activeArr = $db->GetActiveRecordsClass($class = "Person",$table = "persons","id=".$db->Param(0),array(2));
$person2 =& $activeArr[0];
echo "&lt;p>Name first (should be John): ",$person->name_first, "&lt;br>Class = ",get_class($person2);
</pre>
 
<h3>Todo (Code Contributions welcome)</h3>
<p>Check _original and current field values before update, only update changes. Also if the primary key value is changed, then on update, we should save and use the original primary key values in the WHERE clause!
<p>Handle 1-to-many relationships.
<p>PHP5 specific: Make GetActiveRecords*() return an Iterator.
<p>PHP5 specific: Change PHP5 implementation of Active Record to use __get() and __set() for better performance.
 
<h3> Change Log</h3>

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

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

<p><a name="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 = &amp;ADONewConnection('postgres'); <br> $conn-&gt;PConnect('host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mary');</pre>
<p> b. the classical 4 parameters:</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');<br> </pre>
<p>c. dsn:
</p><pre> $dsn = 'postgres://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist'; # persist is optional
$conn = ADONewConnection($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 "&lt;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 "&lt;/pre>";
</pre>
<p>Using DSN:
<pre>
$dsn = "ldap://ldap.baylor.edu/ou=People,o=Baylor University,c=US";
$db = NewADOConnection($dsn);
</pre>
<h4>Interbase/Firebird</h4>
You define the database in the $host parameter:
<pre> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('ibase'); <br> $conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost:c:\ibase\employee.gdb','sysdba','masterkey');<br></pre>
<p>Or dsn:
</p><pre> $dsn = 'firebird://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?persist&amp;dialect=3'; # persist is optional<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br></pre>
<h4>SQLite</h4>
Sqlite will create the database file if it does not exist.
<pre> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('sqlite');
$conn-&gt;PConnect('c:\path\to\sqlite.db'); # sqlite will create if does not exist<br></pre>
<p>Or dsn:
</p><pre> $path = urlencode('c:\path\to\sqlite.db');
$dsn = "sqlite://$path/?persist"; # persist is optional
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br></pre>
<h4>Oracle (oci8)</h4>
<p>With oci8, you can connect in multiple ways. Note that oci8 works fine with
newer versions of the Oracle, eg. 9i and 10g.</p>
<p>a. PHP and Oracle reside on the same machine, use default SID.</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
<p>b. TNS Name defined in tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES), eg. 'myTNS'</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', 'myTNS');</pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect('myTNS', 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
<p>c. Host Address and SID</p>
<pre>
$conn->connectSID = true;
$conn-&gt;Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'SID');</pre>
<p>d. Host Address and Service Name</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'servicename');</pre>
<p>e. Oracle connection string:
</p><pre> $cstr = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=$host)(PORT=$port))<br> (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$sid)))";<br> $conn-&gt;Connect($cstr, 'scott', 'tiger');<br></pre>
<p>f. ADOdb dsn:
</p><pre> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@tnsname/?persist'; # persist is optional<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect<br> <br> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@host/sid';<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);<br> <br> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@/'; # oracle on local machine<br> $conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);<br></pre>
<p>You can also set the charSet for Oracle 9.2 and later, supported since PHP 4.3.2, ADOdb 4.54:
</p><pre> $conn-&gt;charSet = 'we8iso8859p1';<br> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> <br> # or<br> $dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@tnsname/?charset=WE8MSWIN1252';<br> $db = ADONewConnection($dsn);<br></pre>
<a name="dsnless"></a>
<h4>DSN-less ODBC ( Access, MSSQL and DB2 examples)</h4>
<p>ODBC DSN's can be created in the ODBC control panel, or you can use a DSN-less
connection.To use DSN-less connections with ODBC you need PHP 4.3 or later.
</p>
<p>For Microsoft Access:</p>
<pre> $db =&amp; ADONewConnection('access');<br> $dsn = <strong>"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=d:\\northwind.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;";</strong>
$db-&gt;Connect($dsn);
</pre>
For Microsoft SQL Server:
<pre> $db =&amp; ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');<br> $dsn = <strong>"Driver={SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=northwind;"</strong>;<br> $db-&gt;Connect($dsn,'userid','password');<br></pre>
or if you prefer to use the mssql extension (which is limited to mssql 6.5 functionality):
<pre> $db =&amp; ADONewConnection('mssql');<br> $db-&gt;Execute('localhost', 'userid', 'password', 'northwind');<br></pre>
For DB2:
<pre>
$dbms = 'db2'; # or 'odbc_db2' if db2 extension not available
$db =&amp; ADONewConnection($dbms);
$dsn = "driver={IBM db2 odbc DRIVER};Database=sample;hostname=localhost;port=50000;protocol=TCPIP;".
"uid=root; pwd=secret";<br> $db-&gt;Connect($dsn);
</pre>
<b>DSN-less Connections with ADO</b><br>
If you are using versions of PHP earlier than PHP 4.3.0, DSN-less connections
only work with Microsoft's ADO, which is Microsoft's COM based API. An example
using the ADOdb library and Microsoft's ADO:
<pre>&lt;?php<br> include('adodb.inc.php'); <br> $db = &amp;ADONewConnection("ado_mssql");<br> print "&lt;h1&gt;Connecting DSN-less $db-&gt;databaseType...&lt;/h1&gt;";<br> <br> <b>$myDSN="PROVIDER=MSDASQL;DRIVER={SQL Server};"<br> . "SERVER=flipper;DATABASE=ai;UID=sa;PWD=;" ;</b>
$db-&gt;Connect($myDSN);
$rs = $db-&gt;Execute("select * from table");
$arr = $rs-&gt;GetArray();
print_r($arr);
?&gt;
</pre><a name="speed"></a>
<h2>High Speed ADOdb - tuning tips</h2>
<p>ADOdb is a big class library, yet it <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/">consistently beats</a> all other PHP class
libraries in performance. This is because it is designed in a layered fashion,
like an onion, with the fastest functions in the innermost layer. Stick to the
following functions for best performance:</p>
<table align="center" border="1" width="40%">
<tbody><tr>
<td><div align="center"><b>Innermost Layer</b></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p align="center">Connect, PConnect, NConnect<br>
Execute, CacheExecute<br>
SelectLimit, CacheSelectLimit<br>
MoveNext, Close <br>
qstr, Affected_Rows, Insert_ID</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>The fastest way to access the field data is by accessing the array $recordset-&gt;fields
directly. Also set the global variables <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>
= ADODB_FETCH_NUM, and (for oci8, ibase/firebird and odbc) <a href="#adodb_countrecs">$ADODB_COUNTRECS</a> = false
before you connect to your database.</p>
<p>Consider using bind parameters if your database supports it, as it improves
query plan reuse. Use ADOdb's performance tuning system to identify bottlenecks
quickly. At the time of writing (Dec 2003), this means oci8 and odbc drivers.</p>
<p>Lastly make sure you have a PHP accelerator cache installed such as APC, Turck
MMCache, Zend Accelerator or ionCube.</p>
<p>Some examples:</p>
<table align="center" border="1"><tbody><tr><td><b>Fastest data retrieval using PHP</b></td><td><b>Fastest data retrieval using ADOdb extension</b></td></tr>
<tr><td>
<pre>$rs =&amp; $rs-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>while (!$rs-&gt;EOF) {<br> var_dump($rs-&gt;fields);<br> $rs-&gt;MoveNext();<br>}</pre></td><td>
<pre>$rs =&amp; $rs-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>$array = adodb_getall($rs);<br>var_dump($array);<br><br><br></pre></td></tr></tbody></table>
<p><b>Advanced Tips</b>
</p><p>If you have the <a href="http://adodb.sourceforge.net/#extension">ADOdb C extension</a> installed,
you can replace your calls to $rs-&gt;MoveNext() with adodb_movenext($rs).
This doubles the speed of this operation. For retrieving entire recordsets at once,
use GetArray(), which uses the high speed extension function adodb_getall($rs) internally.
</p><p>Execute() is the default way to run queries. You can use the low-level functions _Execute() and _query()
to reduce query overhead. Both these functions share the same parameters as Execute().
</p><p>If you do not have any bind parameters or your database supports
binding (without emulation),
then you can call _Execute() directly. Calling this function bypasses
bind emulation. Debugging is still supported in _Execute().
</p><p>If you do not require debugging facilities nor emulated
binding, and do not require a recordset to be returned, then you can
call _query. This is great for inserts, updates and deletes. Calling
this function
bypasses emulated binding, debugging, and recordset handling. Either
the resultid, true or false are returned by _query(). </p><p>For Informix, you can disable scrollable cursors with $db-&gt;cursorType = 0.
</p><p><a name="hack"></a> </p>
<h2>Hacking ADOdb Safely</h2>
<p>You might want to modify ADOdb for your own purposes. Luckily you can
still maintain backward compatibility by sub-classing ADOdb and using the $ADODB_NEWCONNECTION
variable. $ADODB_NEWCONNECTION allows you to override the behaviour of ADONewConnection().
ADOConnection() checks for this variable and will call
the function-name stored in this variable if it is defined.
</p><p>In the following example, new functionality for the connection object
is placed in the <i>hack_mysql</i> and <i>hack_postgres7</i> classes. The recordset class naming convention
can be controlled using $rsPrefix. Here we set it to 'hack_rs_', which will make ADOdb use
<i>hack_rs_mysql</i> and <i>hack_rs_postgres7</i> as the recordset classes.
 
 
</p><pre>class hack_mysql extends adodb_mysql {<br>var $rsPrefix = 'hack_rs_';<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>class hack_rs_mysql extends ADORecordSet_mysql {<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>class hack_postgres7 extends adodb_postgres7 {<br>var $rsPrefix = 'hack_rs_';<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>class hack_rs_postgres7 extends ADORecordSet_postgres7 {<br> /* Your mods here */<br>}<br><br>$ADODB_NEWCONNECTION = 'hack_factory';<br><br>function&amp; hack_factory($driver)<br>{<br> if ($driver !== 'mysql' &amp;&amp; $driver !== 'postgres7') return false;<br> <br> $driver = 'hack_'.$driver;<br> $obj = new $driver();<br> return $obj;<br>}<br><br>include_once('adodb.inc.php');<br></pre>
<p></p><p>Don't forget to call the constructor of the parent class in
your constructor. If you want to use the default ADOdb drivers return
false in the above hack_factory() function.
<a name="php5"></a>
</p><h2>PHP5 Features</h2>
ADOdb 4.02 or later will transparently determine which version of PHP you are using.
If PHP5 is detected, the following features become available:
<ul>
 
<li><b>PDO</b>: PDO drivers are available. See the <a href=#pdo>connection examples</a>. Currently PDO drivers are
not as powerful as native drivers, and should be treated as experimental.<br><br>
<a name="php5iterators"></a>
<li><b>Foreach iterators</b>: This is a very natural way of going through a recordset:
<pre> $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;<br> $rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);<br> foreach($rs as $k =&gt; $row) {<br> echo "r1=".$row[0]." r2=".$row[1]."&lt;br&gt;";<br> }<br></pre>
<p>
<a name="php5exceptions"></a>
</p></li><li><b>Exceptions</b>: Just include <i>adodb-exceptions.inc.php</i> and you can now
catch exceptions on errors as they occur.
<pre> <b>include("../adodb-exceptions.inc.php");</b> <br> include("../adodb.inc.php"); <br> try { <br> $db = NewADOConnection("oci8"); <br> $db-&gt;Connect('','scott','bad-password'); <br> } catch (exception $e) { <br> var_dump($e); <br> adodb_backtrace($e-&gt;gettrace());<br> } <br></pre>
<p>Note that reaching EOF is <b>not</b> considered an error nor an exception.
</p></li></ul>
<h3><a name="drivers"></a>Databases Supported</h3>
The <i>name</i> below is the value you pass to NewADOConnection($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>&lt;?<br><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind DSN<br>$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font> = &amp;$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Execute('select * from products');<br>if (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>) <br> print $<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;ErrorMsg();<br>else<br><b>while</b> (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;EOF) {<br> <b>print</b> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;fields[0].' '.$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;fields[1].'&lt;BR&gt;';<br> $<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;MoveNext();<br>}</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">
 
$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;Close(); # optional<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Close(); # optional<br></font>
?&gt;
</pre>
<p>The $<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">recordSet</font> returned stores
the current row in the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$recordSet-&gt;fields</font>
array, indexed by column number (starting from zero). We use the <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><a href="#movenext">MoveNext</a>()</font>
function to move to the next row. The <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">EOF</font>
property is set to true when end-of-file is reached. If an error occurs in Execute(),
we return false instead of a recordset.</p>
<p>The <code>$recordSet-&gt;fields[]</code> array is generated by the PHP database
extension. Some database extensions only index by number and do not index the
array by field name. To force indexing by name - that is associative arrays
- use the SetFetchMode function. Each recordset saves and uses whatever fetch
mode was set when the recordset was created in Execute() or SelectLimit().
</p><pre> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);<br> $rs1 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);<br> $rs2 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array([0]=&gt;'v0',[1] =&gt;'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=&gt;'v0',['col2'] =&gt;'v1')</i>
</pre>
<p> </p>
<p>To get the number of rows in the select statement, you can use <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$recordSet-&gt;<a href="#recordcount">RecordCount</a>()</font>.
Note that it can return -1 if the number of rows returned cannot be determined.</p>
<h3>Example 2: Advanced Select with Field Objects<a name="ex2"></a></h3>
<p>Select a table, display the first two columns. If the second column is a date
or timestamp, reformat the date to US format.</p>
<pre>&lt;?<br><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono"><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('access'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('northwind'); # connect to MS-Access, northwind dsn<br>$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font> = &amp;$<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;Execute('select CustomerID,OrderDate from Orders');<br>if (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>) <br> print $<font color="#660000">conn</font>-&gt;ErrorMsg();<br>else<br><b>while</b> (!$<font color="#660000">recordSet</font>-&gt;EOF) {<br> $<font color="#660000">fld</font> = <font color="#336600"><b>$</b><font color="#660000">recordSet</font><b>-&gt;FetchField</b></font><font color="#006600">(</font>1<font color="#006600">);</font>

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

<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>$db-&gt;Connect('localhost','root','','xphplens');<br><br>$sql = "select * from adoxyz ";<br><br>$pager = new ADODB_Pager($db,$sql);<br>$pager-&gt;Render($rows_per_page=5);</pre>
<p>This will create a basic record pager that looks like this: <a name="scr"></a>
</p><p>
<table bgcolor="beige" border="1">
<tbody><tr>
<td> <a href="#scr"><code>|&lt;</code></a> &nbsp; <a href="#scr"><code>&lt;&lt;</code></a>
&nbsp; <a href="#scr"><code>&gt;&gt;</code></a> &nbsp; <a href="#scr"><code>&gt;|</code></a>
&nbsp; </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&nbsp;</td>
<td>Alan&nbsp;</td>

<td>Sat 06, Oct 2001&nbsp;</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-&gt;htmlSpecialChars = false.
</p><p>Some of the code used here was contributed by Iv&aacute;n Oliva and Cornel
G. </p>
<h3><a name="ex9"></a>Example 9: Exporting in CSV or Tab-Delimited Format</h3>
<p>We provide some helper functions to export in comma-separated-value (CSV) and
tab-delimited formats:</p>
<pre><b>include_once('/path/to/adodb/toexport.inc.php');</b><br>include_once('/path/to/adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br>
$db = &amp;NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db-&gt;Connect($server, $userid, $password, $database);<br><br>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select fname as "First Name", surname as "Surname" from table');<br><br>print "&lt;pre&gt;";<br>print <b>rs2csv</b>($rs); # return a string, CSV format<p>print '&lt;hr&gt;';<br><br>$rs-&gt;MoveFirst(); # note, some databases do not support MoveFirst<br>print <b>rs2tab</b>($rs,<i>false</i>); # return a string, tab-delimited<br> # false == suppress field names in first line</p>print '&lt;hr&gt;';<br>$rs-&gt;MoveFirst();<br><b>rs2tabout</b>($rs); # send to stdout directly (there is also an rs2csvout function)<br>print "&lt;/pre&gt;";<br><br>$rs-&gt;MoveFirst();<br>$fp = fopen($path, "w");<br>if ($fp) {<br> <b>rs2csvfile</b>($rs, $fp); # write to file (there is also an rs2tabfile function)<br> fclose($fp);<br>}<br></pre>
<p> Carriage-returns or newlines are converted to spaces. Field names are returned
in the first line of text. Strings containing the delimiter character are quoted
with double-quotes. Double-quotes are double-quoted again. This conforms to
Excel import and export guide-lines.
</p><p>All the above functions take as an optional last parameter, $addtitles which
defaults to <i>true</i>. When set to <i>false</i> field names in the first line
are suppressed. <br>
</p><h3>Example 10: Recordset Filters<a name="ex10"></a></h3>
<p>Sometimes we want to pre-process all rows in a recordset before we use it.
For example, we want to ucwords all text in recordset.
</p><pre>include_once('adodb/rsfilter.inc.php');<br>include_once('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br><br>// ucwords() every element in the recordset<br>function do_ucwords(&amp;$arr,$rs)<br>{<br> foreach($arr as $k =&gt; $v) {<br> $arr[$k] = ucwords($v);<br> }<br>}<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db-&gt;PConnect('server','user','pwd','db');<br><br>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select ... from table');<br>$rs = <b>RSFilter</b>($rs,'do_ucwords');<br></pre>
<p>The <i>RSFilter</i> function takes 2 parameters, the recordset, and the name
of the <i>filter</i> function. It returns the processed recordset scrolled to
the first record. The <i>filter</i> function takes two parameters, the current
row as an array, and the recordset object. For future compatibility, you should
not use the original recordset object. </p>
<h3>Example 11:<a name="ex11"></a> Smart Transactions</h3>
The old way of doing transactions required you to use
<pre>$conn-&gt;<b>BeginTrans</b>();<br>$ok = $conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if ($ok) $ok = $conn-&gt;Execute($sql2);<br>if (!$ok) $conn-&gt;<b>RollbackTrans</b>();<br>else $conn-&gt;<b>CommitTrans</b>();<br></pre>
This is very complicated for large projects because you have to track the error
status. Smart Transactions is much simpler. You start a smart transaction by calling
StartTrans():
<pre>$conn-&gt;<b>StartTrans</b>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);<br>$conn-&gt;<b>CompleteTrans</b>();<br></pre>
CompleteTrans() detects when an SQL error occurs, and will Rollback/Commit as
appropriate. To specificly force a rollback even if no error occured, use FailTrans().
Note that the rollback is done in CompleteTrans(), and not in FailTrans().
<pre>$conn-&gt;<b>StartTrans</b>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if (!CheckRecords()) $conn-&gt;<strong>FailTrans</strong>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);<br>$conn-&gt;<b>CompleteTrans</b>();<br></pre>
<p>You can also check if a transaction has failed, using HasFailedTrans(), which
returns true if FailTrans() was called, or there was an error in the SQL execution.
Make sure you call HasFailedTrans() before you call CompleteTrans(), as it is
only works between StartTrans/CompleteTrans.
</p><p>Lastly, StartTrans/CompleteTrans is nestable, and only the outermost block
is executed. In contrast, BeginTrans/CommitTrans/RollbackTrans is NOT nestable.
</p><pre>$conn-&gt;<strong>StartTrans</strong>();<br>$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br> $conn-&gt;<strong>StartTrans</strong>(); <font color="#006600"># ignored</font>
if (!CheckRecords()) $conn-&gt;FailTrans();
$conn-&gt;<strong>CompleteTrans</strong>(); <font color="#006600"># ignored</font>
$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);
$conn-&gt;<strong>CompleteTrans</strong>();<br></pre>
<p>Note: Savepoints are currently not supported.
</p><h2><a name="errorhandling"></a>Using Custom Error Handlers and PEAR_Error</h2>
<p>ADOdb supports PHP5 exceptions. Just include <i>adodb-exceptions.inc.php</i> and you can now
catch exceptions on errors as they occur.
</p><pre> <b>include("../adodb-exceptions.inc.php");</b> <br> include("../adodb.inc.php"); <br> try { <br> $db = NewADOConnection("oci8://scott:bad-password@mytns/"); <br> } catch (exception $e) { <br> var_dump($e); <br> adodb_backtrace($e-&gt;gettrace());<br> } <br></pre>
<p> ADOdb also provides two custom handlers which you can modify for your needs. The
first one is in the <b>adodb-errorhandler.inc.php</b> file. This makes use of
the standard PHP functions <a href="http://php.net/error_reporting">error_reporting</a>
to control what error messages types to display, and <a href="http://php.net/trigger_error">trigger_error</a>
which invokes the default PHP error handler.
</p><p> Including the above file will cause <i>trigger_error($errorstring,E_USER_ERROR)</i>
to be called when<br>
(a) Connect() or PConnect() fails, or <br>
(b) a function that executes SQL statements such as Execute() or SelectLimit()
has an error.<br>
(c) GenID() appears to go into an infinite loop.
</p><p> The $errorstring is generated by ADOdb and will contain useful debugging information
similar to the error.log data generated below. This file adodb-errorhandler.inc.php
should be included before you create any ADOConnection objects.
</p><p> If you define error_reporting(0), no errors will be passed to the error handler.
If you set error_reporting(E_ALL), all errors will be passed to the error handler.
You still need to use <b>ini_set("display_errors", "0" or "1")</b> to control
the display of errors.
</p><pre>&lt;?php<br><b>error_reporting(E_ALL); # pass any error messages triggered to error handler<br>include('adodb-errorhandler.inc.php');</b>
include('adodb.inc.php');
include('tohtml.inc.php');
$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
$c-&gt;PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
$rs=$c-&gt;Execute('select * from productsz'); #invalid table productsz');
if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
?&gt;
</pre>
<p> If you want to log the error message, you can do so by defining the following
optional constants ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE and ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST. ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE
is the error log message type (see <a href="http://php.net/error_log">error_log</a>
in the PHP manual). In this case we set it to 3, which means log to the file
defined by the constant ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST.
</p><pre>&lt;?php<br><b>error_reporting(E_ALL); # report all errors<br>ini_set("display_errors", "0"); # but do not echo the errors<br>define('ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE',3);<br>define('ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST','C:/errors.log');<br>include('adodb-errorhandler.inc.php');</b>
include('adodb.inc.php');
include('tohtml.inc.php');
 
$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
$c-&gt;PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
$rs=$c-&gt;Execute('select * from productsz'); ## invalid table productsz
if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
?&gt;
</pre>
The following message will be logged in the error.log file:
<pre>(2001-10-28 14:20:38) mysql error: [1146: Table 'northwind.productsz' doesn't exist] in<br> EXECUTE("select * from productsz")<br></pre>
<h3>PEAR_ERROR</h3>
The second error handler is <b>adodb-errorpear.inc.php</b>. This will create a
PEAR_Error derived object whenever an error occurs. The last PEAR_Error object
created can be retrieved using ADODB_Pear_Error().
<pre>&lt;?php<br><b>include('adodb-errorpear.inc.php');</b>
include('adodb.inc.php');
include('tohtml.inc.php');
$c = NewADOConnection('mysql');
$c-&gt;PConnect('localhost','root','','northwind');
$rs=$c-&gt;Execute('select * from productsz'); #invalid table productsz');
if ($rs) rs2html($rs);
else {
<b>$e = ADODB_Pear_Error();<br> echo '&lt;p&gt;',$e-&gt;message,'&lt;/p&gt;';</b>
}
?&gt;
</pre>
<p> You can use a PEAR_Error derived class by defining the constant ADODB_PEAR_ERROR_CLASS
before the adodb-errorpear.inc.php file is included. For easy debugging, you
can set the default error handler in the beginning of the PHP script to PEAR_ERROR_DIE,
which will cause an error message to be printed, then halt script execution:
</p><pre>include('PEAR.php');<br>PEAR::setErrorHandling('PEAR_ERROR_DIE');<br></pre>
<p> Note that we do not explicitly return a PEAR_Error object to you when an error
occurs. We return false instead. You have to call ADODB_Pear_Error() to get
the last error or use the PEAR_ERROR_DIE technique.
</p>
<h3>MetaError and MetaErrMsg</h3>
<p>If you need error messages that work across multiple databases, then use <a href="#metaerror">MetaError()</a>, which returns a virtualized error number, based on PEAR DB's error number system, and <a href=<a href="#metaerrmsg">MetaErrMsg()</a>.
 
<h4>Error Messages</h4>
<p>Error messages are outputted using the static method ADOConnnection::outp($msg,$newline=true).
By default, it sends the messages to the client. You can override this to perform
error-logging.
</p><h2><a name="dsn"></a> Data Source Names</h2>
<p>We now support connecting using PEAR style DSN's. A DSN is a connection string
of the form:</p>
<p>$dsn = <i>"$driver://$username:$password@$hostname/$databasename"</i>;</p>
<p>An example:</p>
<pre> $username = 'root';<br> $password = '';<br> $hostname = 'localhost';<br> $databasename = 'xphplens';<br> $driver = 'mysql';<br> $dsn = "$driver://$username:$password@$hostname/$databasename"<br> $db = NewADOConnection(); <br> # DB::Connect($dsn) also works if you include 'adodb/adodb-pear.inc.php' at the top<br> $rs = $db-&gt;query('select firstname,lastname from adoxyz');<br> $cnt = 0;<br> while ($arr = $rs-&gt;fetchRow()) {<br> print_r($arr); print "&lt;br&gt;";<br> }</pre>
<p></p>
<p> <a href="#dsnsupport">More info and connection examples</a> on the DSN format.
 
</p><h2><a name="pear"></a>PEAR Compatibility</h2>
We support DSN's (see above), and the following functions:
<pre><b> DB_Common</b>
query - returns PEAR_Error on error
limitQuery - return PEAR_Error on error
prepare - does not return PEAR_Error on error
execute - does not return PEAR_Error on error
setFetchMode - supports ASSOC and ORDERED
errorNative

numCols
fetchInto - does not support passing of fetchmode
fetchRows - does not support passing of fetchmode
free
</pre>
<h2><a name="caching"></a>Caching of Recordsets</h2>
<p>ADOdb now supports caching of recordsets using the CacheExecute( ), CachePageExecute(
) and CacheSelectLimit( ) functions. There are similar to the non-cache functions,
except that they take a new first parameter, $secs2cache.
</p><p> An example:
</p><pre><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/usr/ADODB_cache';<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font> = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql'); # create a connection<br>$<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','','agora');# connect to MySQL, agora db<br><font>$<font color="#663300">sql</font> = 'select CustomerName, CustomerID from customers';<br>$<font color="#663300">rs</font> = $<font color="#663300">conn</font>-&gt;CacheExecute(15,$sql);</font></pre>
<p><font> The first parameter is the number of seconds to cache
the query. Subsequent calls to that query will used the cached version stored
in $ADODB_CACHE_DIR. To force a query to execute and flush the cache, call CacheExecute()
with the first parameter set to zero. Alternatively, use the CacheFlush($sql)
call. </font></p>
<p><font>For the sake of security, we recommend you set <i>register_globals=off</i>
in php.ini if you are using $ADODB_CACHE_DIR.</font></p>
<p>In ADOdb 1.80 onwards, the secs2cache parameter is optional in CacheSelectLimit()
and CacheExecute(). If you leave it out, it will use the $connection-&gt;cacheSecs
parameter, which defaults to 60 minutes.
</p><pre> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> $conn-&gt;cacheSecs = 3600*24; # cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;CacheExecute('select * from table');<br></pre>
<p>Please note that magic_quotes_runtime should be turned off. <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?LeNs#LensBM_forummsg">More
info</a>, and do not change $ADODB_FETCH_MODE (or SetFetchMode)
as the cached recordset will use the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE set when the query was executed. <font>
<h2><a name="pivot"></a>Pivot Tables</h2>
</font> </p><p><font>Since ADOdb 2.30, we support the generation of
SQL to create pivot tables, also known as cross-tabulations. For further explanation
read this DevShed <a href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/MySQLWiz/">Cross-Tabulation
tutorial</a>. We assume that your database supports the SQL case-when expression. </font></p>
<font>
<p>In this example, we will use the Northwind database from Microsoft. In the
database, we have a products table, and we want to analyze this table by <i>suppliers
versus product categories</i>. We will place the suppliers on each row, and
pivot on categories. So from the table on the left, we generate the pivot-table
on the right:</p>
</font>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="142">
<tbody><tr>
<td><i>Supplier</i></td>
<td><i>Category</i></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>supplier1</td>
<td>category1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>supplier2</td>
<td>category1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>supplier2</td>
<td>category2</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</td>
<td> <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">--&gt;</font></td>
<td>
<table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
<tbody><tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<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 ' =&gt; 'UnitsInStock &lt;= 0',
"1 to 5" =&gt; '0 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 5',
"6 to 10" =&gt; '5 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 10',
"11 to 15" =&gt; '10 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 15',
"16+" =&gt; '15 &lt; UnitsInStock'
),
' p.CategoryID = c.CategoryID and s.SupplierID= p.SupplierID', # joins/where
'UnitsInStock', # sum this field
'Sum ' # sum label prefix
);
</pre>
<p>Which generates: </p>
<p> <code> <font size="2">SELECT SupplierName, <br>
SUM(CASE WHEN UnitsInStock &lt;= 0 THEN UnitsInStock ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum
0 ", <br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 0 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 5 THEN UnitsInStock
ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum 1 to 5",<br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 5 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 10 THEN UnitsInStock
ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum 6 to 10",<br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 10 &lt; UnitsInStock and UnitsInStock &lt;= 15 THEN UnitsInStock
ELSE 0 END) AS "Sum 11 to 15", <br>
SUM(CASE WHEN 15 &lt; 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-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> $ADODB_<b>FETCH_MODE</b> = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC;<br> $rs2 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array([0]=&gt;'v0',[1] =&gt;'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=&gt;'v0',['col2'] =&gt;'v1')</i>
</font></pre>
<p><font> As you can see in the above example, both recordsets store and use different
fetch modes based on the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE setting when the recordset was
created by Execute().</font></p>
<p><font>If no fetch mode is predefined, the fetch mode defaults to ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT.
The behaviour of this default mode varies from driver to driver, so do not
rely on ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT. For portability, we recommend sticking to ADODB_FETCH_NUM
or ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. Many drivers do not support ADODB_FETCH_BOTH.</font></p>
<p><font><strong>SetFetchMode Function</strong></font></p>
<p><font>If you have multiple connection objects, and want to have different fetch modes for each
connection, then use <a href="#setfetchmode">SetFetchMode</a>.
Once this function is called for a connection object, that connection object
will ignore the global variable $ADODB_FETCH_MODE and will use the internal
fetchMode property exclusively.</font></p>
<pre><font> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM);<br> $rs1 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> $db-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC);<br> $rs2 = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table');<br> print_r($rs1-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array([0]=&gt;'v0',[1] =&gt;'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2-&gt;fields); # shows <i>array(['col1']=&gt;'v0',['col2'] =&gt;'v1')</i></font></pre>
<p><font>To retrieve the previous fetch mode, you can use check the $db-&gt;fetchMode
property, or use the return value of SetFetchMode( ).
</font></p><p><font><strong><a name="adodb_assoc_case"></a>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE</strong></font></p>
<p><font>You can control the associative fetch case for certain drivers which behave
differently. For the sybase, oci8po, mssql, odbc and ibase drivers and all
drivers derived from them, ADODB_ASSOC_CASE will by default generate recordsets
where the field name keys are lower-cased. Use the constant ADODB_ASSOC_CASE
to change the case of the keys. There are 3 possible values:</font></p>
<p><font>0 = assoc lowercase field names. $rs-&gt;fields['orderid']<br>
1 = assoc uppercase field names. $rs-&gt;fields['ORDERID']<br>
2 = use native-case field names. $rs-&gt;fields['OrderID'] -- this is the
default since ADOdb 2.90</font></p>
<p><font>To use it, declare it before you incldue adodb.inc.php.</font></p>
<p><font>define('ADODB_ASSOC_CASE', 2); # use native-case for ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC<br>
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

<hr />
<h3><font>ADOConnection Main Functions</font></h3>
<p><font><b>ADOConnection( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Constructor function. Do not call this directly. Use ADONewConnection( ) instead.</font></p>
<p><font><b>Connect<a name="connect"></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></font></p>
<p><font>Non-persistent connect to data source or server $<b>host</b>, using userid
$<b>user </b>and password $<b>password</b>. If the server supports multiple
databases, connect to database $<b>database</b>. </font></p>
<p><font>Returns true/false depending on connection success. Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded.</font></p>
<p><font>ADO Note: If you are using a Microsoft ADO and not OLEDB, you can set the $database
parameter to the OLEDB data provider you are using.</font></p>
<p><font>PostgreSQL: An alternative way of connecting to the database is to pass the
standard PostgreSQL connection string in the first parameter $host, and the
other parameters will be ignored.</font></p>
<p><font>For Oracle and Oci8, there are two ways to connect. First is to use the TNS
name defined in your local tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES). Place the
name in the $database field, and set the $host field to false. Alternatively,
set $host to the server, and $database to the database SID, this bypassed
tnsnames.ora.
</font></p><p><font>Examples:
</font></p><pre><font> # $oraname in tnsnames.ora/ONAMES/HOSTNAMES<br> $conn-&gt;Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', $oraname); <br> $conn-&gt;Connect('server:1521', 'scott', 'tiger', 'ServiceName'); # bypass tnsnames.ora</font></pre>
<p><font>There are many examples of connecting to a database.
See <a href="#connect_ex">Connection Examples</a> for many examples.
 
</font></p><p><font><b>PConnect<a name="pconnect"></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></font></p>
<p><font>Persistent connect to data source or server $<b>host</b>, using userid $<b>user</b>
and password $<b>password</b>. If the server supports multiple databases,
connect to database $<b>database</b>.</font></p>
<p><font>We now perform a rollback on persistent connection for selected databases since
2.21, as advised in the PHP manual. See change log or source code for which
databases are affected.
</font></p><p><font>Returns true/false depending on connection. Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded.
See Connect( ) above for more info.</font></p>
<p><font>Since ADOdb 2.21, we also support autoRollback. If you set:</font></p>
<pre> $conn = &amp;NewADOConnection('mysql');<br> $conn-&gt;autoRollback = true; # default is false<br> $conn-&gt;PConnect(...); # rollback here</pre>
<p> Then when doing a persistent connection with PConnect( ), ADOdb will
perform a rollback first. This is because it is documented that PHP is
not guaranteed to rollback existing failed transactions when
persistent connections are used. This is implemented in Oracle,
MySQL, PgSQL, MSSQL, ODBC currently.
</p><p>Since ADOdb 3.11, you can force non-persistent
connections even if PConnect is called by defining the constant
ADODB_NEVER_PERSIST before you call PConnect.
</p><p>
Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded.
</p><p><b>NConnect<a name="nconnect"></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></p>
<p>Always force a new connection. In contrast, PHP sometimes reuses connections
when you use Connect() or PConnect(). Currently works only on mysql (PHP 4.3.0
or later), postgresql and oci8-derived drivers. For other drivers, NConnect() works like
Connect().</p>
<p><font><b>IsConnected( )<a name="isconnected"></a></b></font></p>
<p>
<font>Returns true if connected to database. Added in 4.53.
 
</font></p><p><font><b>Execute<a name="execute"></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Execute SQL statement $<b>sql</b> and return derived class of ADORecordSet
if successful. Note that a record set is always returned on success, even
if we are executing an insert or update statement. You can also pass in $sql a statement prepared
in <a href="#prepare">Prepare()</a>.</font></p>
<p><font>Returns derived class of ADORecordSet. Eg. if connecting via mysql, then ADORecordSet_mysql
would be returned. False is returned if there was an error in executing the
sql.</font></p>
<p><font>The $inputarr parameter can be used for binding variables to parameters. Below
is an Oracle example:</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Execute("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val", array('val'=&gt; $val));<br> </font></pre>
<p><font>Another example, using ODBC,which uses the ? convention:</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Execute("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?", array($val));<br></font></pre>
<font><a name="binding"></a>
<i>Binding variables</i></font><p>
<font>Variable binding speeds the compilation and caching of SQL statements, leading
to higher performance. Currently Oracle, Interbase and ODBC supports variable binding.
Interbase/ODBC style ? binding is emulated in databases that do not support binding.
Note that you do not have to quote strings if you use binding.
</font></p><p><font> Variable binding in the odbc, interbase and oci8po drivers.
</font></p><pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select * from table where val=?', array('10'));<br></font></pre>
<font>Variable binding in the oci8 driver:
</font><pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select name from table where val=:key', <br> array('key' =&gt; 10));<br></font></pre>
<font><a name="bulkbind"></a>
<i>Bulk binding</i>
</font><p><font>Since ADOdb 3.80, we support bulk binding in Execute(), in which you pass in a 2-dimensional array to
be bound to an INSERT/UPDATE or DELETE statement.
</font></p><pre><font>$arr = array(<br> array('Ahmad',32),<br> array('Zulkifli', 24),<br> array('Rosnah', 21)<br> );<br>$ok = $db-&gt;Execute('insert into table (name,age) values (?,?)',$arr);<br></font></pre>
<p><font>This provides very high performance as the SQL statement is prepared first.
The prepared statement is executed repeatedly for each array row until all rows are completed,
or until the first error. Very useful for importing data.
 
</font></p><p><font><b>CacheExecute<a name="cacheexecute"></a>([$secs2cache,]$sql,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Similar to Execute, except that the recordset is cached for $secs2cache seconds
in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory, and $inputarr only accepts 1-dimensional arrays.
If CacheExecute() is called again with the same $sql, $inputarr,
and also the same database, same userid, and the cached recordset
has not expired, the cached recordset is returned.
</font></p><pre><font> include('adodb.inc.php'); <br> include('tohtml.inc.php');<br> $ADODB_<b>CACHE_DIR</b> = '/usr/local/ADOdbcache';<br> $conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql'); <br> $conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;<b>CacheExecute</b>(15, 'select * from table'); # cache 15 secs<br> rs2html($rs); /* recordset to html table */ <br></font></pre>
<p><font> Alternatively, since ADOdb 1.80, the $secs2cache parameter is optional:</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> $conn-&gt;cacheSecs = 3600*24; // cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;CacheExecute('select * from table');<br></font></pre>
<font>If $secs2cache is omitted, we use the value
in $connection-&gt;cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour). Use CacheExecute()
only with SELECT statements.
</font><p><font>Performance note: I have done some benchmarks and found that they vary so greatly
that it's better to talk about when caching is of benefit. When your database
server is <i>much slower </i>than your Web server or the database is <i>very
overloaded </i>then ADOdb's caching is good because it reduces the load on
your database server. If your database server is lightly loaded or much faster
than your Web server, then caching could actually reduce performance. </font></p>
<p><font><b>ExecuteCursor<a name="executecursor"></a>($sql,$cursorName='rs',$parameters=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Execute an Oracle stored procedure, and returns an Oracle REF cursor variable as
a regular ADOdb recordset. Does not work with any other database except oci8.
Thanks to Robert Tuttle for the design.
</font></p><pre><font> $db = ADONewConnection("oci8"); <br> $db-&gt;Connect("foo.com:1521", "uid", "pwd", "FOO"); <br> $rs = $db-&gt;ExecuteCursor("begin :cursorvar := getdata(:param1); end;", <br> 'cursorvar',<br> array('param1'=&gt;10)); <br> # $rs is now just like any other ADOdb recordset object<br> rs2html($rs);</font></pre>
<p><font>ExecuteCursor() is a helper function that does the following internally:
</font></p><pre><font> $stmt = $db-&gt;Prepare("begin :cursorvar := getdata(:param1); end;", true); <br> $db-&gt;Parameter($stmt, $cur, 'cursorvar', false, -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);<br> $rs = $db-&gt;Execute($stmt,$bindarr);<br></font></pre>
<p><font>ExecuteCursor only accepts 1 out parameter. So if you have 2 out parameters, use:
</font></p><pre><font> $vv = 'A%';<br> $stmt = $db-&gt;PrepareSP("BEGIN list_tabs(:crsr,:tt); END;");<br> $db-&gt;OutParameter($stmt, $cur, 'crsr', -1, OCI_B_CURSOR);<br> $db-&gt;OutParameter($stmt, $vv, 'tt', 32); # return varchar(32)<br> $arr = $db-&gt;GetArray($stmt);<br> print_r($arr);<br> echo " val = $vv"; ## outputs 'TEST'<br></font></pre>
<font>for the following PL/SQL:
</font><pre><font> TYPE TabType IS REF CURSOR RETURN TAB%ROWTYPE;<br><br> PROCEDURE list_tabs(tabcursor IN OUT TabType,tablenames IN OUT VARCHAR) IS<br> BEGIN<br> OPEN tabcursor FOR SELECT * FROM TAB WHERE tname LIKE tablenames;<br> tablenames := 'TEST';<br> END list_tabs;<br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>SelectLimit<a name="selectlimit"></a>($sql,$numrows=-1,$offset=-1,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns a recordset if successful. Returns false otherwise. Performs a select
statement, simulating PostgreSQL's SELECT statement, LIMIT $numrows OFFSET
$offset clause.</font></p>
<p><font>In PostgreSQL, SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 3 will return the first 3 records
only. The equivalent is <code>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT * FROM TABLE',3)</code>.
This functionality is simulated for databases that do not possess this feature.</font></p>
<p><font>And SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 3 OFFSET 2 will return records 3, 4 and 5 (eg.
after record 2, return 3 rows). The equivalent in ADOdb is <code>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT
* FROM TABLE',3,2)</code>.</font></p>
<p><font>Note that this is the <i>opposite</i> of MySQL's LIMIT clause. You can also
set <code>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT * FROM TABLE',-1,10)</code> to
get rows 11 to the last row.</font></p>
<p><font>The last parameter $inputarr is for databases that support variable binding
such as Oracle oci8. This substantially reduces SQL compilation overhead.
Below is an Oracle example:</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn-&gt;SelectLimit("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val", 100,-1,array('val'=&gt; $val));<br> </font></pre>
<p><font>The oci8po driver (oracle portable driver) uses the more standard bind variable
of ?:
</font></p><pre><font> $conn-&gt;SelectLimit("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?", 100,-1,array('val'=&gt; $val));<br></font></pre>
<p><font>
</font></p><p><font>Ron Wilson reports that SelectLimit does not work with UNIONs.
</font></p><p><font><b>CacheSelectLimit<a name="cacheselectlimit"></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql, $numrows=-1,$offset=-1,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Similar to SelectLimit, except that the recordset returned is cached for $secs2cache
seconds in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory. </font></p>
<p><font>Since 1.80, $secs2cache has been optional, and you can define the caching time
in $connection-&gt;cacheSecs.</font></p>
<pre><font> $conn-&gt;Connect(...);<br> $conn-&gt;cacheSecs = 3600*24; // cache 24 hours<br> $rs = $conn-&gt;CacheSelectLimit('select * from table',10);</font></pre>
<font>
</font><p><font><b>CacheFlush<a name="cacheflush"></a>($sql=false,$inputarr=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Flush (delete) any cached recordsets for the SQL statement $sql in $ADODB_CACHE_DIR.
</font></p><p><font>If no parameter is passed in, then all adodb_*.cache files are deleted.
</font></p><p><font> If you want to flush all cached recordsets manually, execute the following
PHP code (works only under Unix): <br>
<code> &nbsp; system("rm -f `find ".$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>
#------------------------------------------------------ <br>
# This particular example deletes files in the TMPPATH <br>
# directory with the string ".cache" in their name that <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 $db-&gt;fetchMode. Legal modes are ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC and ADODB_FETCH_NUM.
For more info, see <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$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-&gt;Execute('INSERT INTO blobtable (id, blobcol) VALUES (1, empty_blob())');<br> $conn-&gt;UpdateBlob('blobtable','blobcol',$blobvalue,'id=1');<br> <br> # non oracle databases<br> $conn-&gt;Execute('INSERT INTO blobtable (id, blobcol) VALUES (1, null)');<br> $conn-&gt;UpdateBlob('blobtable','blobcol',$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 $connection-&gt;DecodeBlob($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-&gt;Execute('INSERT INTO clobtable (id, clobcol) VALUES (1, empty_clob())');<br> $conn-&gt;UpdateBlob('clobtable','clobcol',$clobvalue,'id=1');<br> <br> # non oracle databases<br> $conn-&gt;Execute('INSERT INTO clobtable (id, clobcol) VALUES (1, null)');<br> $conn-&gt;UpdateBlob('clobtable','clobcol',$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 $connection-&gt;maxblobsize, which
is set to 256K in adodb 4.54. </p><p>
In ADOdb 4.54 and later, the blob is the return value. In earlier versions, the blob data is sent to stdout.</p><font>
</font><p></p><pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute("select bloboid from postgres_table where id=$key");<br>$blob = $db-&gt;BlobDecode( reset($rs-&gt;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 = $db-&gt;Replace('atable', <br> array('id'=&gt;1000,'firstname'=&gt;'Harun','lastname'=&gt;'Al-Rashid'),<br> 'id',$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-&gt;Replace('atable2', <br> array('firstname'=&gt;'Harun','lastname'=&gt;'Al-Rashid', 'age' =&gt; 33, 'birthday' =&gt; 'null'),<br> array('lastname','firstname'),<br> $autoquote = true);<br><br># no auto-quoting<br>$ret = $db-&gt;Replace('atable2', <br> array('firstname'=&gt;"'Harun'",'lastname'=&gt;"'Al-Rashid'", 'age' =&gt; 'null'),<br> array('lastname','firstname')); <br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>AutoExecute<a name="autoexecute"></a>($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 $rs->tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is called.
<p><font><b>GetUpdateSQL<a name="getupdatesql"></a>(&amp;$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-&gt;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>

<font> </font><p><font><b>StartTrans<a name="starttrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<font> </font><p><font>Start a monitored transaction. As SQL statements are executed, ADOdb will monitor
for SQL errors, and if any are detected, when CompleteTrans() is called, we auto-rollback.
</font></p><p>
<font> </font></p><p><font> To understand why StartTrans() is superior to BeginTrans(),
let us examine a few ways of using BeginTrans().
The following is the wrong way to use transactions:
</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;CommitTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>because you perform no error checking. It is possible to update table1 and
for the update on table2 to fail. Here is a better way:
</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>$ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $DB-&gt;CommitTrans();<br>else $DB-&gt;RollbackTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>Another way is (since ADOdb 2.0):
</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>$ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>if ($ok) $ok = $DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;CommitTrans($ok);<br></font></pre>
<p><font> Now it is a headache monitoring $ok all over the place. StartTrans() is an
improvement because it monitors all SQL errors for you. This is particularly
useful if you are calling black-box functions in which SQL queries might be executed.
Also all BeginTrans, CommitTrans and RollbackTrans calls inside a StartTrans block
will be disabled, so even if the black box function does a commit, it will be ignored.
</font></p><pre><font>$DB-&gt;StartTrans();<br>CallBlackBox();<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;Execute("update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id");<br>$DB-&gt;CompleteTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>Note that a StartTrans blocks are nestable, the inner blocks are ignored.
</font></p><p><font><b>CompleteTrans<a name="completetrans"></a>($autoComplete=true)</b></font></p>
<font> </font><p><font>Complete a transaction called with StartTrans(). This function monitors
for SQL errors, and will commit if no errors have occured, otherwise it will rollback.
Returns true on commit, false on rollback. If the parameter $autoComplete is true
monitor sql errors and commit and rollback as appropriate. Set $autoComplete to false
to force rollback even if no SQL error detected.
</font></p><p><font><b>FailTrans<a name="failtrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<font> </font><p><font>Fail a transaction started with StartTrans(). The rollback will only occur when
CompleteTrans() is called.
</font></p><p><font><b>HasFailedTrans<a name="hasfailedtrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<font> </font><p><font>Check whether smart transaction has failed,
eg. returns true if there was an error in SQL execution or FailTrans() was called.
If not within smart transaction, returns false.
</font></p><p><font><b>BeginTrans<a name="begintrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Begin a transaction. Turns off autoCommit. Returns true if successful. Some
databases will always return false if transaction support is not available.
Any open transactions will be rolled back when the connection is closed. Among the
databases that support transactions are Oracle, PostgreSQL, Interbase, MSSQL, certain
versions of MySQL, DB2, Informix, Sybase, etc.</font></p>
<font> </font><p><font>Note that <a href="#starttrans">StartTrans()</a> and CompleteTrans() is a superior method of
handling transactions, available since ADOdb 3.40. For a explanation, see the <a href="#starttrans">StartTrans()</a> documentation.
 
</font></p><p><font>You can also use the ADOdb <a href="#errorhandling">error handler</a> to die
and rollback your transactions for you transparently. Some buggy database extensions
are known to commit all outstanding tranasactions, so you might want to explicitly
do a $DB-&gt;RollbackTrans() in your error handler for safety.
</font></p><h4><font>Detecting Transactions</font></h4>
<font> </font><p><font>Since ADOdb 2.50, you are able to detect when you are inside a transaction. Check
that $connection-&gt;transCnt &gt; 0. This variable is incremented whenever BeginTrans() is called,
and decremented whenever RollbackTrans() or CommitTrans() is called.
</font></p><p><font><b>CommitTrans<a name="committrans"></a>($ok=true)</b></font></p>
<p><font>End a transaction successfully. Returns true if successful. If the database
does not support transactions, will return true also as data is always committed.
</font></p>
<p><font>If you pass the parameter $ok=false, the data is rolled back. See example in
BeginTrans().</font></p>
<p><font><b>RollbackTrans<a name="rollbacktrans"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>End a transaction, rollback all changes. Returns true if successful. If the
database does not support transactions, will return false as data is never rollbacked.
</font></p>
<font>
</font><p><font><b>GetAssoc<a name="getassoc1"></a>($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>
row3: Rose, Flower, Edible</font></p>
<p><font>GetAssoc will generate the following 2-dimensional associative
array:</font></p>
<p><font>Apple =&gt; array[Fruit, Edible]<br>
Cactus =&gt; array[Plant, Inedible]<br>
Rose =&gt; 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 $force_array==false):</font></p>
<p><font>Apple =&gt; Fruit</font><br>
Cactus=&gt;Plant<br>
Rose=&gt;Flower </p>
<p><font>The function returns:</font></p>
<p><font>The associative array, or false if an error occurs.</font></p>
<font>
<p><b>CacheGetAssoc<a name="cachegetassoc"></a>([$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 $connection-&gt;cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds,
or 1 hour).</font></p>
<p><font><b>Prepare<a name="prepare"></a>($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 = $DB-&gt;Prepare('insert into table (col1,col2) values (?,?)');<br>for ($i=0; $i &lt; $max; $i++)<br></font> $DB-&gt;<font>Execute($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-&gt;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-&gt;length.<font color="#993300">"(field) from table"</font>;<br> $rs = $db-&gt;Execute($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-&gt;substr.<font color="#993300">"(field, $offset, $length) from table"</font>;<br> $rs = $db-&gt;Execute($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>.$DB-&gt;Param('a').<font color="#993300">','</font>.$DB-&gt;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 = $DB-&gt;Prepare($sql);<br>$stmt = $DB-&gt;Execute($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 = $db-&gt;PrepareSP(
<font color="#993300">"declare RETVAL integer; <br> begin<br> :RETVAL := </font><font color="#993300">SP_RUNSOMETHING</font><font color="#993300">(:myid,:group);<br> end;"</font>);<br>$db-&gt;InParameter($stmt,$id,'myid');<br>$db-&gt;InParameter($stmt,$group,'group',64);<br>$db-&gt;OutParameter($stmt,$ret,'RETVAL');<br>$db-&gt;Execute($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-&gt;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>
$db-&gt;InParameter($stmt,$id,'myid');
$db-&gt;InParameter($stmt,$group,'group',64);
<font color="green"># return value in mssql - RETVAL is hard-coded name</font> <br>$db-&gt;OutParameter($stmt,$ret,'RETVAL');<br>$db-&gt;Execute($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
=&gt; SQLCHAR, boolean =&gt;SQLINT1, integer =&gt;SQLINT4 or float/double=&gt;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"> $db-&gt;Parameter($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 = $db-&gt;PrepareSP( <font color="#993300">"update table set val=:i where id=:id"</font>);<br>$db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$id,'id');<br>$db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$i, 'i');<br>for ($cnt=0; $cnt &lt; 1000; $cnt++) {<br> $id = $cnt; <br> $i = $cnt * $cnt; <font color="green"># works with oci8!</font>
$db-&gt;Execute($stmt); <br>}</font></pre>
<p><font><b>Bind<a name="bind"></a>($stmt, $var, $size=4001, $type=false, $name=false)</b></font></p>
<p><font>This is a low-level function supported only by the oci8
driver. <b>Avoid using</b> unless you only want to support Oracle. The Parameter(
) function is the recommended way to go with bind variables.</font></p>
<p><font>Bind( ) allows you to use bind variables in your sql
statement. This binds a PHP variable to a name defined in an Oracle sql statement
that was previously prepared using Prepare(). Oracle named variables begin with
a colon, and ADOdb requires the named variables be called :0, :1, :2, :3, etc.
The first invocation of Bind() will match :0, the second invocation will match
:1, etc. Binding can provide 100% speedups for insert, select and update statements.
</font></p>
<p>The other variables, $size sets the buffer size for data storage, $type is
the optional descriptor type OCI_B_FILE (Binary-File), OCI_B_CFILE (Character-File),
OCI_B_CLOB (Character-LOB), OCI_B_BLOB (Binary-LOB) and OCI_B_ROWID (ROWID).
Lastly, instead of using the default :0, :1, etc names, you can define your
own bind-name using $name.
</p><p><font>The following example shows 3 bind variables being used:
p1, p2 and p3. These variables are bound to :0, :1 and :2.</font></p>
<pre>$stmt = $DB-&gt;Prepare("insert into table (col0, col1, col2) values (:0, :1, :2)");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p1);<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p2);<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p3);<br>for ($i = 0; $i &lt; $max; $i++) { <br> $p1 = ?; $p2 = ?; $p3 = ?;<br> $DB-&gt;Execute($stmt);<br>}</pre>
<p>You can also use named variables:</p>
<pre>$stmt = $DB-&gt;Prepare("insert into table (col0, col1, col2) values (:name0, :name1, :name2)");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p1, "name0");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p2, "name1");<br>$DB-&gt;Bind($stmt, $p3, "name2");<br>for ($i = 0; $i &lt; $max; $i++) { <br> $p1 = ?; $p2 = ?; $p3 = ?;<br> $DB-&gt;Execute($stmt);<br>}</pre>
<p><b>LogSQL($enable=true)<a name="logsql"></a></b></p>
Call this method to install a SQL logging and timing function (using fnExecute).
Then all SQL statements are logged into an adodb_logsql table in a database. If
the adodb_logsql table does not exist, ADOdb will create the table if you have
the appropriate permissions. Returns the previous logging value (true for enabled,
false for disabled). Here are samples of the DDL for selected databases:
<p>
</p><pre> <b>mysql:</b>
CREATE TABLE adodb_logsql (
created datetime NOT NULL,
sql0 varchar(250) NOT NULL,
sql1 text NOT NULL,
params text NOT NULL,
tracer text NOT NULL,
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-&gt;LogSQL(); // turn on logging<br> :<br> $conn-&gt;Execute(...);<br> :<br> $conn-&gt;LogSQL(false); // turn off logging<br> <br> # output summary of SQL logging results<br> $perf = NewPerfMonitor($conn);<br> echo $perf-&gt;SuspiciousSQL();<br> echo $perf-&gt;ExpensiveSQL();<br></pre>
<p>One limitation of logging is that rollback also prevents SQL from being logged.
</p><p>
If you prefer to use another name for the table used to store the SQL, you can override it by calling
adodb_perf::table($tablename), where $tablename is the new table name (you will still need to manually
create the table yourself). An example:
</p><pre> include('adodb.inc.php');<br> include('adodb-perf.inc.php');<br> adodb_perf::table('my_logsql_table');<br></pre>
Also see <a href="docs-perf.htm">Performance Monitor</a>.
<p><font><b>fnExecute and fnCacheExecute properties<a name="fnexecute" id="fnexecute"></a></b></font></p>
<p>These two properties allow you to define bottleneck functions for all sql statements
processed by ADOdb. This allows you to perform statistical analysis and query-rewriting
of your sql.
</p><p><b>Examples of fnExecute</b></p>
<p>Here is an example of using fnExecute, to count all cached queries and non-cached
queries, you can do this:</p>
<pre><font color="#006600"># $db is the connection object</font>
function CountExecs($db, $sql, $inputarray)
{
global $EXECS;
 
if (!is_array(inputarray)) $EXECS++;
<font color="#006600"># handle 2-dimensional input arrays</font>
else if (is_array(reset($inputarray))) $EXECS += sizeof($inputarray);
else $EXECS++;
}
 
<font color="#006600"># $db is the connection object</font>
function CountCachedExecs($db, $secs2cache, $sql, $inputarray)
{<br>global $CACHED; $CACHED++;<br>}<br><br>$db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>$db-&gt;Connect(...);<br>$db-&gt;<strong>fnExecute</strong> = 'CountExecs';<br>$db-&gt;<strong>fnCacheExecute</strong> = 'CountCachedExecs';<br> :<br> :<br><font color="#006600"># After many sql statements:</font>`<br>printf("&lt;p&gt;Total queries=%d; total cached=%d&lt;/p&gt;",$EXECS+$CACHED, $CACHED);<br></pre>
<p>The fnExecute function is called before the sql is parsed and executed, so
you can perform a query rewrite. If you are passing in a prepared statement,
then $sql is an array (see <a href="#prepare">Prepare</a>). The fnCacheExecute
function is only called if the recordset returned was cached.<font>
The function parameters match the Execute and CacheExecute functions respectively,
except that $this (the connection object) is passed as the first parameter.</font></p>
<p>Since ADOdb 3.91, the behaviour of fnExecute varies depending on whether the
defined function returns a value. If it does not return a value, then the $sql
is executed as before. This is useful for query rewriting or counting sql queries.
</p><p> On the other hand, you might want to replace the Execute function with one
of your own design. If this is the case, then have your function return a value.
If a value is returned, that value is returned immediately, without any further
processing. This is used internally by ADOdb to implement LogSQL() functionality.

<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

<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 = $db-&gt;qstr(HTTP_GET_VARS['name'],get_magic_quotes_gpc());</font></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the quoted string.</font></p>
<p><font><b>Quote<a name="quote"></a>($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>

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-&gt;StartTrans();<br> $DB-&gt;RowLock("table1","rowid=$id");<br> $DB-&gt;Execute($sql1);<br> $DB-&gt;Execute($sql2);<br> $DB-&gt;CompleteTrans();<br></font></pre>
<p><font>Supported in db2, interbase, informix, mssql, oci8, postgres, sybase.
</font></p><p><font><b>MetaDatabases<a name="metadatabases"></a>()</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns a list of databases available on the server as an array. You have to
connect to the server first. Only available for ODBC, MySQL and ADO.</font></p>
<p><font><b>MetaTables<a name="metatables"></a>($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-&gt;MetaTables('TABLES'). To show only views, use $db-&gt;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 $numericIndex=true if you want the old behaviour of numeric indexes (since 4.23).
</font></p><p>
<font>e.g. array('FIELD1' =&gt; 'Field1', 'FIELD2'=&gt;'Field2')
</font></p><p>
</p><p><font><b>MetaPrimaryKeys<a name="metaprimarykeys"></a>($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-&gt;Connect('localhost','root','','mydb'); <br>$db-&gt;MetaPrimaryKeys('dataView');<br></font></pre>
<p><font><b>ServerInfo<a name="serverinfo" id="serverinfo"></a>()</b></font>
</p>
<p><font>Returns an array of containing two elements 'description'
and 'version'. The 'description' element contains the string description of
the database. The 'version' naturally holds the version number (which is also
a string).</font></p>
<p><font><b>MetaForeignKeys<a name="metaforeignkeys"></a>($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-&gt;MetaForeignKeys('employee') will return
</font></p><pre><font> array(<br> 'dept_table' =&gt; array('deptkey=deptid'),<br> 'posn_table' =&gt; array('posn=positionid','poscategory=category')<br> )<br></font></pre>
<p><font>The optional schema or owner can be defined in $owner. If $upper is true, then
the table names (array keys) are upper-cased.
</font></p><hr />
<h2><font>ADORecordSet<a name="adorecordset"></a></font></h2>
<p><font>When an SQL statement successfully is executed by <font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">ADOConnection-&gt;Execute($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 (&lt;select&gt;&lt;option&gt;&lt;option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;).
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 = $conn-&gt;OffsetDate(7); // returns "(trunc(sysdate)+7")</font></pre>
<pre><font># get date and time that is 60 hours from current date and time<br>$fld = $conn-&gt;OffsetDate(2.5, $conn-&gt;sysTimeStamp); // returns "(sysdate+2.5)"<br><br>$conn-&gt;Execute("UPDATE TABLE SET dodate=$fld WHERE ID=$id");</font></pre>
<p><font> This function is available for mysql, mssql, oracle, oci8 and postgresql drivers
since 2.13. It might work with other drivers provided they allow performing
numeric day arithmetic on dates.</font></p>
<font> </font>
<p><font><b>SQLDate<a name="sqldate"></a>($dateFormat, $basedate=false)</b></font></p>
<font>Returns a string which contains the native SQL functions
to format a date or date column $basedate. This is used in SELECT statements.
For INSERT/UPDATE statements, use <a href="#dbdate">DBDate</a>. It uses a case-sensitive
$dateFormat, which supports: </font>
<pre><font>
Y: 4-digit Year
Q: Quarter (1-4)
M: Month (Jan-Dec)
m: Month (01-12)
d: Day (01-31)
H: Hour (00-23)
h: Hour (1-12)
i: Minute (00-59)
s: Second (00-60)
A: AM/PM indicator
w: day of week (0-6 or 1-7 depending on DB)
l: day of week (as string - lowercase L)
W: week in year (0..53 for MySQL, 1..53 for PostgreSQL and Oracle)
</font></pre>
<p><font>All other characters are treated as strings. You can
also use \ to escape characters. Available on selected databases, including
mysql, postgresql, mssql, oci8 and DB2. </font></p>
<p><font>This is useful in writing portable sql statements that
GROUP BY on dates. For example to display total cost of goods sold broken
by quarter (dates are stored in a field called postdate): </font></p>
<pre><font> $sqlfn = $db-&gt;SQLDate('Y-\QQ','postdate'); # get sql that formats postdate to output 2002-Q1<br> $sql = "SELECT $sqlfn,SUM(cogs) FROM table GROUP BY $sqlfn ORDER BY 1 desc";<br> </font></pre>
<p><font><b>MoveNext<a name="movenext"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Move the internal cursor to the next row. The <i>$this-&gt;fields</i> array
is automatically updated. Returns false if unable to do so (normally because
EOF has been reached), otherwise true. </font></p>
<p><font> If EOF is reached, then the $this-&gt;fields array
is set to false (this was only implemented consistently in ADOdb 3.30). For
the pre-3.30 behaviour of $this-&gt;fields (at EOF), set the global variable
$ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH = true.</font></p>
<p><font>Example:</font></p>
<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if ($rs) <br> while (!$rs-&gt;EOF) {<br> ProcessArray($rs-&gt;fields); <br> $rs-&gt;MoveNext();<br> } </font></pre>
<p><font><b>Move<a name="move"></a>($to)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Moves the internal cursor to a specific row $<b>to</b>.
Rows are zero-based eg. 0 is the first row. The <b>fields</b> array is automatically
updated. For databases that do not support scrolling internally, ADOdb will
simulate forward scrolling. Some databases do not support backward scrolling.
If the $<b>to</b> position is after the EOF, $<b>to</b> will move to the
end of the RecordSet for most databases. Some obscure databases using odbc
might not behave this way.</font></p>
<p><font>Note: This function uses <i>absolute positioning</i>,
unlike Microsoft's ADO.</font></p>
<p><font>Returns true or false. If false, the internal cursor
is not moved in most implementations, so AbsolutePosition( ) will return
the last cursor position before the Move( ). </font></p>
<p><font><b>MoveFirst<a name="movefirst"></a>()</b></font></p>
<p><font>Internally calls Move(0). Note that some databases do
not support this function.</font></p>
<p><font><b>MoveLast<a name="movelast"></a>()</b></font></p>
<p><font>Internally calls Move(RecordCount()-1). Note that some
databases do not support this function.</font></p>
<p><font><b>GetRowAssoc</b><a name="getrowassoc"></a>($toUpper=true)</font></p>
<p><font>Returns an associative array containing the current
row. The keys to the array are the column names. The column names are upper-cased
for easy access. To get the next row, you will still need to call MoveNext(). </font></p>
<p><font>For example:<br>
Array ( [ID] =&gt; 1 [FIRSTNAME] =&gt; Caroline [LASTNAME] =&gt; Miranda [CREATED]
=&gt; 2001-07-05 ) </font></p>
<p><font>Note: do not use GetRowAssoc() with $ADODB_FETCH_MODE
= ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. Because they have the same functionality, they will
interfere with each other.</font></p>
<font>
</font><p><font><b>AbsolutePage<a name="absolutepage"></a>($page=-1) </b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the current page. Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute() to be called.
See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</font></p>
<font>
<p><b>AtFirstPage<a name="atfirstpage">($status='')</a></b></p>
<p>Returns true if at first page (1-based). Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute()
to be called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
<p><b>AtLastPage<a name="atlastpage">($status='')</a></b></p>
<p>Returns true if at last page (1-based). Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute()
to be called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
<p><b>Fields</b><a name="fields"></a>(<b>$colname</b>)</p>
<p>Returns the value of the associated column $<b>colname</b> for the current
row. The column name is case-insensitive.</p>
<p>This is a convenience function. For higher performance, use <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>. </p>
<p><b>FetchRow</b><a name="fetchrow"></a>()</p>
</font><p><font>Returns array containing current row, or false
if EOF. FetchRow( ) internally moves to the next record after returning the
current row. </font></p>
<p><font>Warning: Do not mix using FetchRow() with MoveNext().</font></p>
<p><font>Usage:</font></p>
<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>if ($rs)<br> while ($arr = $rs-&gt;FetchRow()) {<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;# process $arr <br> }</font></pre>
<p><font><b>FetchInto</b><a name="fetchinto"></a>(<b>&amp;$array</b>)</font></p>
<p><font> Sets $array to the current row. Returns PEAR_Error
object if EOF, 1 if ok (DB_OK constant). If PEAR is undefined, false is returned
when EOF. FetchInto( ) internally moves to the next record after returning
the current row. </font></p>
<p><font> FetchRow() is easier to use. See above.</font></p>
<font> </font>
<p><font><b>FetchField<a name="fetchfield"></a>($column_number)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns an object containing the <b>name</b>, <b>type</b> and <b>max_length</b> of
the associated field. If the max_length cannot be determined reliably, it
will be set to -1. The column numbers are zero-based. See <a href="#ex2">example
2.</a></font></p>
<p><font><b>FieldCount<a name="fieldcount"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the number of fields (columns) in the record
set.</font></p>
<p><font><b>RecordCount<a name="recordcount"></a>( )</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the number of rows in the record set. If the
number of records returned cannot be determined from the database driver
API, we will buffer all rows and return a count of the rows after all the
records have been retrieved. This buffering can be disabled (for performance
reasons) by setting the global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false. When disabled,
RecordCount( ) will return -1 for certain databases. See the supported databases
list above for more details. </font></p>
<p><font> RowCount is a synonym for RecordCount.</font></p>
<p><font><b>PO_RecordCount<a name="po_recordcount"></a>($table,
$where)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the number of rows in the record set. If the
database does not support this, it will perform a SELECT COUNT(*) on the
table $table, with the given $where condition to return an estimate of the
recordset size.</font></p>
<p><font>$numrows = $rs-&gt;PO_RecordCount("articles_table", "group=$group");</font></p>
<font><b> NextRecordSet<a name="nextrecordset" id="nextrecordset"></a>()</b> </font>
<p><font>For databases that allow multiple recordsets to be returned
in one query, this function allows you to switch to the next recordset. Currently
only supported by mssql driver.</font></p>
<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('execute return_multiple_rs');<br>$arr1 = $rs-&gt;GetArray();<br>$rs-&gt;NextRecordSet();<br>$arr2 = $rs-&gt;GetArray();</font></pre>
<p><font><b>FetchObject<a name="fetchobject"></a>($toupper=true)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Returns the current row as an object. If you set $toupper
to true, then the object fields are set to upper-case. Note: The newer FetchNextObject()
is the recommended way of accessing rows as objects. See below.</font></p>
<p><font><b>FetchNextObject<a name="fetchnextobject"></a>($toupper=true)</b></font></p>
<p><font>Gets the current row as an object and moves to the next
row automatically. Returns false if at end-of-file. If you set $toupper to
true, then the object fields are set to upper-case.</font></p>
<pre><font>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute('select firstname,lastname from table');<br>if ($rs) {<br> while ($o = $rs-&gt;FetchNextObject()) {<br> print "$o-&gt;FIRSTNAME, $o-&gt;LASTNAME&lt;BR&gt;";<br> }<br>}<br></font></pre>
<p><font>There is some trade-off in speed in using FetchNextObject().
If performance is important, you should access rows with the <code>fields[]</code> array. <b>FetchObj<a name="fetchobj" id="fetchobj"></a>()</b> </font></p>
<p><font>Returns the current record as an object. Fields are
not upper-cased, unlike FetchObject.
</font></p>
<p><font><b>FetchNextObj<a name="fetchnextobj" id="fetchnextobj"></a>()</b> </font></p>
<p><font>Returns the current record as an object and moves to
the next record. If EOF, false is returned. Fields are not upper-cased, unlike
FetctNextObject. </font></p>
<font>
<p><b>CurrentRow<a name="currentrow"></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Returns the current row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
<p><b>AbsolutePosition<a name="abspos"></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Synonym for <b>CurrentRow</b> for compatibility with ADO. Returns the current
row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
<p><b>MetaType<a name="metatype"></a>($nativeDBType[,$field_max_length],[$fieldobj])</b></p>
<p>Determine what <i>generic</i> meta type a database field type is given its
native type $<b>nativeDBType</b> as a string and the length of the field $<b>field_max_length</b>.
Note that field_max_length can be -1 if it is not known. The field object returned
by FetchField() can be passed in $<b>fieldobj</b> or as the 1st parameter <b>$nativeDBType</b>.
This is useful for databases such as <i>mysql</i> which has additional properties
in the field object such as <i>primary_key</i>. </p>
<p>Uses the field <b>blobSize</b> and compares it with $<b>field_max_length</b> to
determine whether the character field is actually a blob.</p>
For example, $db-&gt;MetaType('char') will return 'C'.
<p>Returns:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>C</b>: Character fields that should be shown in a &lt;input type="text"&gt; tag. </li>
<li><b>X</b>: Clob (character large objects), or large text fields that should
be shown in a &lt;textarea&gt;</li>
<li><b>D</b>: Date field</li>
<li><b>T</b>: Timestamp field</li>
<li><b>L</b>: Logical field (boolean or bit-field)</li>
<li><b>N</b>: Numeric field. Includes decimal, numeric, floating point, and
real. </li>
<li><b>I</b>:&nbsp; Integer field. </li>
<li><b>R</b>: Counter or Autoincrement field. Must be numeric.</li>
<li><b>B</b>: Blob, or binary large objects. </li>
</ul>
</font><p><font> Since ADOdb 3.0, MetaType accepts $fieldobj
as the first parameter, instead of $nativeDBType. </font></p>
<font> </font>
<p><font><b>Close( )<a name="rsclose"></a></b></font></p>
<p><font>Closes the recordset, cleaning all memory and resources
associated with the recordset. </font></p>
<p>
<font>If memory management is not an issue, you do not need to
call this function as recordsets are closed for you by PHP at the end of the
script. SQL statements such as INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE do not really return a recordset,
so you do not have to call Close() for such SQL statements.</font></p>
<hr />
<h3><font>function rs2html<a name="rs2html"></a>($adorecordset,[$tableheader_attributes],
[$col_titles])</font></h3>
<p><font>This is a standalone function (rs2html = recordset to
html) that is similar to PHP's <i>odbc_result_all</i> function, it prints
a ADORecordSet, $<b>adorecordset</b> as a HTML table. $<b>tableheader_attributes</b> allow
you to control the table <i>cellpadding</i>, <i>cellspacing</i> and <i>border</i> attributes.
Lastly you can replace the database column names with your own column titles
with the array $<b>col_titles</b>. This is designed more as a quick debugging
mechanism, not a production table recordset viewer.</font></p>

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

<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.

strings work fine.
<p>_rs2serialize will now update $rs->sql and $rs->oldProvider.
<p>Added autoExecute().
<p>Added support for postgres8 driver. Currently just remapped to postgres7 driver.
<p>Changed oci8 _query(), so that OCIBindByName() sets the length to -1 if element size is > 4000. This provides better support
for LONGs.
<p>Added SetDateLocale() support for netherlands (Nl).
<p>Spelling error in pivot code ($iff should be $iif).
</p><p>mysql insert_id() did not work with mysql 3.x. Fixed.

</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
col, then it is removed from alter col code. By Mark Newham. Not
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 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-&gt;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 $db-&gt;IsOID($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-&gt;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 Hal&aacute;szv&aacute;ri G&aacute;bor.
</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-&gt;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 Le&atilde;o.
</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-&gt;_transactionID = $this-&gt;_connectionID;</pre>
to<br>
<pre> $this-&gt;_transactionID = ibase_trans($this-&gt;ibasetrans, $this-&gt;_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 = $conn -&gt; PrepareSP($sql);<br> $conn -&gt; InParameter($stmt,$text,'sa0', -1, OCI_B_CLOB);<br> $rs = '';<br> $conn -&gt; OutParameter($stmt,$rs,'rs', -1, OCI_B_CLOB);<br> $conn -&gt; Execute($stmt);<br> echo "return = ".$rs."&lt;br&gt;";<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 $var as LOB, we create new descriptor and return it as a<br> Bind Result, so if we want to use OUT parameters, we have to store<br> somewhere &amp;$var to load() data from LOB to it.<br> - IN OUT params are not working now (should not be a big problem to fix it)<br> - now mass binding not working too (I've wrote about it before)<br></pre>
<p>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>Added Init() to adorecordset_empty().
</p><p>Changed postgres64 driver, MetaColumns() to not strip off quotes in default value if :: detected (type-casting of default).
</p><p>Added test: if (!defined('ADODB_DIR')) die(). Useful to prevent hackers from detecting file paths.
</p><p>Changed metaTablesSQL to ignore Postgres 7.4 information schemas (sql_*).
</p><p>New polish language file by Grzegorz Pacan
</p><p>Added support for UNION in _adodb_getcount().
</p><p>Added security check for ADODB_DIR to limit path disclosure issues. Requested by postnuke team.
</p><p>Added better error message support to oracle driver. Thx to Gaetano Giunta.
</p><p>Added showSchema support to mysql.
</p><p>Bind in oci8 did not handle $name=false properly. Fixed.
</p><p>If extension not loaded, Connect(), PConnect(), NConnect() will return null.
</p><p><b>4.22 15 Apr 2004</b>
</p><p>Moved docs to own adodb/docs folder.
</p><p>Fixed session bug when quoting compressed/encrypted data in Replace().
</p><p>Netezza Driver and LDAP drivers contributed by Josh Eldridge.
</p><p>GetMenu now uses rtrim() on values instead of trim().
</p><p>Changed MetaColumnNames to return an associative array, keys being the field names in uppercase.
</p><p>Suggested fix to adodb-ado.inc.php affected_rows to support PHP5 variants. Thx to Alexios Fakos.
</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>Added ADOConnection::Time(), returns current database time in unix timestamp format, or false.
</p><p><b>4.21 20 Mar 2004</b>
</p><p>We no longer in SelectLimit for VFP driver add SELECT TOP X unless an ORDER BY exists.
</p><p>Pim Koeman contributed dutch language file adodb-nl.inc.php.
</p><p>Rick Hickerson added CLOB support to db2 datadict.
</p><p>Added odbtp driver. Thx to "stefan bogdan" sbogdan#rsb.ro.
</p><p>Changed PrepareSP() 2nd parameter, $cursor, to default to true (formerly false). Fixes oci8 backward
compat problems with OUT params.
</p><p>Fixed month calculation error in adodb-time.inc.php. 2102-June-01 appeared as 2102-May-32.
</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>Error handling when driver file not found was flawed in ADOLoadCode(). Fixed.
</p><p><b>4.20 27 Feb 2004</b>
</p><p>Updated to AXMLS 1.01.
</p><p>MetaForeignKeys for postgres7 modified by Edward Jaramilla, works on pg 7.4.
</p><p>Now numbers accepts function calls or sequences for GetInsertSQL/GetUpdateSQL numeric fields.
</p><p>Changed quotes of 'delete from $perf_table' to "". Thx Kehui (webmaster#kehui.net)
</p><p>Added ServerInfo() for ifx, and putenv trim fix. Thx Fernando Ortiz.
</p><p>Added addq(), which is analogous to addslashes().
</p><p>Tested with php5b4. Fix some php5 compat problems with exceptions and sybase.
</p><p>Carl-Christian Salvesen added patch to mssql _query to support binds greater than 4000 chars.
</p><p>Mike suggested patch to PHP5 exception handler. $errno must be numeric.
</p><p>Added double quotes (") to ADODB_TABLE_REGEX.
</p><p>For oci8, Prepare(...,$cursor),
$cursor's meaning was accidentally inverted in 4.11. This causes
problems with ExecuteCursor() too, which calls Prepare() internally.
Thx to William Lovaton.
</p><p>Now dateHasTime property in connection object renamed to datetime for consistency. This could break bc.
</p><p>Csongor Halmai reports that db2 SelectLimit with input array is not working. Fixed..
</p><p><b>4.11 27 Jan 2004</b>
</p><p>Csongor Halmai reports db2 binding not working. Reverted back to emulated binding.
</p><p>Dan Cech modifies datadict code. Adds support for DropIndex. Minor cleanups.
</p><p>Table misspelt in perf-oci8.inc.php. Changed v$conn_cache_advice to v$db_cache_advice. Reported by Steve W.
</p><p>UserTimeStamp and DBTimeStamp did not handle YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format properly. Reported by Mike Muir. Fixed.
</p><p>Changed oci8 Prepare(). Does not auto-allocate OCINewCursor automatically, unless 2nd param is set to true.
This will break backward compat, if Prepare/Execute is used instead of ExecuteCursor. Reported by Chris Jones.
</p><p>Added InParameter() and OutParameter(). Wrapper functions to Parameter(), but nicer because they
are self-documenting.
</p><p>Added 'R' handling in ActualType() to datadict-mysql.inc.php
</p><p>Added ADOConnection::SerializableRS($rs). Returns a recordset that can be serialized in a session.
</p><p>Added "Run SQL" to performance UI().
</p><p>Misc spelling corrections in adodb-mysqli.inc.php, adodb-oci8.inc.php and datadict-oci8.inc.php, from Heinz Hombergs.
</p><p>MetaIndexes() for ibase contributed by Heinz Hombergs.
</p><p><b>4.10 12 Jan 2004</b>
</p><p>Dan Cech contributed extensive changes to data dictionary to support name quoting (with `), and drop table/index.
</p><p>Informix added cursorType property. Default remains IFX_SCROLL, but you can change to 0 (non-scrollable cursor) for performance.
</p><p>Added ADODB_View_PrimaryKeys() for returning view primary keys to MetaPrimaryKeys().
</p><p>Simplified chinese file, adodb-cn.inc.php from cysoft.
</p><p>Added check for ctype_alnum in adodb-datadict.inc.php. Thx to Jason Judge.
</p><p>Added connection parameter to ibase Prepare(). Fix by Daniel Hassan.
</p><p>Added nameQuote for quoting identifiers and names to connection obj. Requested by Jason Judge. Also the
data dictionary parser now detects `field name` and generates column names with spaces correctly.

</p><p>Fixed some fr and it lang errors. Thx to Gaetano G.
</p><p>Added contrib directory, with adodb rs to xmlrpc convertor by Gaetano G.
</p><p>Fixed array recordset bugs when _skiprow1 is true. Thx to Gaetano G.
</p><p>Fixed pivot table code when count is false.
</p><p>
 
</p><p><b>4.05 13 Dec 2003 </b>
</p><p>Added MetaIndexes to data-dict code - thx to Dan Cech.
</p><p>Rewritten session code by Ross Smith. Moved code to adodb/session directory.
</p><p>Added function exists check on connecting to most drivers, so we don't crash with the unknown function error.

</p><p>MetaTables/MetaColumns return ref bug with PHP5 fixed in adodb-datadict.inc.php.
</p><p>New mysqli driver contributed by Arjen de Rijke. Based on adodb 3.40 driver.
Then jlim added BeginTrans, CommitTrans, RollbackTrans, IfNull, SQLDate. Also fixed return ref bug.
</p><p>$ADODB_FLUSH added, if true then force flush in debugging outp. Default is false. In earlier
versions, outp defaulted to flush, which is not compat with apache 2.0.
</p><p>Mysql driver's GenID() function did not work when when sql logging is on. Fixed.
</p><p>$ADODB_SESSION_TBL not declared as global var. Not available if adodb-session.inc.php included in function. Fixed.
</p><p>The input array not passed to Execute() in _adodb_getcount(). Fixed.

</p>
<p>This documentation describes a PHP class library to automate the
creation of tables, indexes and foreign key constraints portably for
multiple databases. Richard Tango-Lowy and Dan Cech have been kind
enough to contribute <a href="#xmlschema">AXMLS</a>, an XML schema
system for defining databases. You can contact them at
dcech#phpwerx.net and richtl#arscognita.com.</p>
<p>Currently the following databases are supported:</p>
<p> <b>Well-tested:</b> PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MSSQL.<br>
<b>Beta-quality:</b> DB2, Informix, Sybase, Interbase, Firebird.<br>
<b>Alpha-quality:</b> MS Access (does not support DEFAULT values) and
generic ODBC.
</p>
<h3>Example Usage</h3>
<pre> include_once('adodb.inc.php');<br> <font color="#006600"># First create a normal connection</font><br> $db = NewADOConnection('mysql');<br> $db-&gt;Connect(...);<br><br> <font
color="#006600"># Then create a data dictionary object, using this connection</font><br> $dict = <strong>NewDataDictionary</strong>($db);<br><br> <font
color="#006600"># We have a portable declarative data dictionary format in ADOdb, similar to SQL.<br> # Field types use 1 character codes, and fields are separated by commas.<br> # The following example creates three fields: "col1", "col2" and "col3":</font><br> $flds = " <br> <font
color="#663300"><strong> col1 C(32) NOTNULL DEFAULT 'abc',<br> col2 I DEFAULT 0,<br> col3 N(12.2)</strong></font><br> ";<br><br> <font
color="#006600"># We demonstrate creating tables and indexes</font><br> $sqlarray = $dict-&gt;<strong>CreateTableSQL</strong>($tabname, $flds, $taboptarray);<br> $dict-&gt;<strong>ExecuteSQLArray</strong>($sqlarray);<br><br> $idxflds = 'co11, col2';<br> $sqlarray = $dict-&gt;<strong>CreateIndexSQL</strong>($idxname, $tabname, $idxflds);<br> $dict-&gt;<strong>ExecuteSQLArray</strong>($sqlarray);<br></pre>
<h3>Class Factory</h3>
<h4>NewDataDictionary($connection, $drivername=false)</h4>
<p>Creates a new data dictionary object. You pass a database connection object in $connection. The $connection does not have to be actually connected to the database. Some database connection objects are generic (eg. odbtp and odbc). Since 4.53, you can tell ADOdb the actual database with $drivername. E.g.</p>
<pre>
$db =& NewADOConnection('odbtp');
$datadict = NewDataDictionary($db, 'mssql'); # force mssql
</pre>
<h3>Class Functions</h3>
<h4>function CreateDatabase($dbname, $optionsarray=false)</h4>
<p>Create a database with the name $dbname;</p>
<h4>function CreateTableSQL($tabname, $fldarray, $taboptarray=false)</h4>
<pre> RETURNS: an array of strings, the sql to be executed, or false<br> $tabname: name of table<br> $fldarray: string (or array) containing field info<br> $taboptarray: array containing table options<br></pre>
<p>The new format of $fldarray uses a free text format, where each
field is comma-delimited.
The first token for each field is the field name, followed by the type
and optional
field size. Then optional keywords in $otheroptions:</p>
<pre> "$fieldname $type $colsize $otheroptions"</pre>
<p>The older (and still supported) format of $fldarray is a
2-dimensional array, where each row in the 1st dimension represents one
field. Each row has this format:</p>
<pre> array($fieldname, $type, [,$colsize] [,$otheroptions]*)</pre>
<p>The first 2 fields must be the field name and the field type. The
field type can be a portable type codes or the actual type for that
database.</p>
<p>Legal portable type codes include:</p>
<pre> C: Varchar, capped to 255 characters.<br> X: Larger varchar, capped to 4000 characters (to be compatible with Oracle). <br> XL: For Oracle, returns CLOB, otherwise the largest varchar size.<br><br> C2: Multibyte varchar<br> X2: Multibyte varchar (largest size)<br><br> B: BLOB (binary large object)<br><br> D: Date (some databases do not support this, and we return a datetime type)<br> T: Datetime or Timestamp<br> L: Integer field suitable for storing booleans (0 or 1)<br> I: Integer (mapped to I4)<br> I1: 1-byte integer<br> I2: 2-byte integer<br> I4: 4-byte integer<br> I8: 8-byte integer<br> F: Floating point number<br> N: Numeric or decimal number<br></pre>
<p>The $colsize field represents the size of the field. If a decimal
number is used, then it is assumed that the number following the dot is
the precision, so 6.2 means a number of size 6 digits and 2 decimal
places. It is recommended that the default for number types be
represented as a string to avoid any rounding errors.</p>
<p>The $otheroptions include the following keywords (case-insensitive):</p>
<pre> AUTO For autoincrement number. Emulated with triggers if not available.<br> Sets NOTNULL also.<br> AUTOINCREMENT Same as auto.<br> KEY Primary key field. Sets NOTNULL also. Compound keys are supported.<br> PRIMARY Same as KEY.<br> DEF Synonym for DEFAULT for lazy typists.<br> DEFAULT The default value. Character strings are auto-quoted unless<br> the string begins and ends with spaces, eg ' SYSDATE '.<br> NOTNULL If field is not null.<br> DEFDATE Set default value to call function to get today's date.<br> DEFTIMESTAMP Set default to call function to get today's datetime.<br> NOQUOTE Prevents autoquoting of default string values.<br> CONSTRAINTS Additional constraints defined at the end of the field<br> definition.<br></pre>
<p>The Data Dictonary accepts two formats, the older array
specification:</p>
<pre> $flds = array(<br> array('COLNAME', 'DECIMAL', '8.4', 'DEFAULT' =&gt; 0, 'NOTNULL'),<br> array('id', 'I' , 'AUTO'),<br> array('`MY DATE`', 'D' , 'DEFDATE'),<br> array('NAME', 'C' , '32', 'CONSTRAINTS' =&gt; 'FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES reftable')<br> );<br></pre>
<p>Or the simpler declarative format:</p>
<pre> $flds = "<font color="#660000"><strong><br> COLNAME DECIMAL(8.4) DEFAULT 0 NOTNULL,<br> id I AUTO,<br> `MY DATE` D DEFDATE,<br> NAME C(32) CONSTRAINTS 'FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES reftable'</strong></font><br> ";<br></pre>
<p>Note that if you have special characters in the field name (e.g. My
Date), you should enclose it in back-quotes. Normally field names are
not case-sensitive, but if you enclose it in back-quotes, some
databases will treat the names as case-sensitive (eg. Oracle) , and
others won't. So be careful.</p>
<p>The $taboptarray is the 3rd parameter of the CreateTableSQL
function. This contains table specific settings. Legal keywords include:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>REPLACE</b><br>
Indicates that the previous table definition should be removed
(dropped)together with ALL data. See first example below. </li>
<li><b>DROP</b><br>
Drop table. Useful for removing unused tables. </li>
<li><b>CONSTRAINTS</b><br>
Define this as the key, with the constraint as the value. See the
postgresql <a href="#foreignkey">example</a> below. Additional constraints defined for the whole
table. You will probably need to prefix this with a comma. </li>
</ul>
<p>Database specific table options can be defined also using the name
of the database type as the array key. In the following example, <em>create
the table as ISAM with MySQL, and store the table in the "users"
tablespace if using Oracle</em>. And because we specified REPLACE, drop
the table first.</p>
<pre> $taboptarray = array('mysql' =&gt; 'TYPE=ISAM', 'oci8' =&gt; 'tablespace users', 'REPLACE');</pre>
<p><a name=foreignkey></a>You can also define foreign key constraints. The following is syntax
for postgresql:
</p>
<pre> $taboptarray = array('constraints' =&gt; ', FOREIGN KEY (col1) REFERENCES reftable (refcol)');</pre>
<h4>function DropTableSQL($tabname)</h4>
<p>Returns the SQL to drop the specified table.</p>
<h4>function ChangeTableSQL($tabname, $flds)</h4>
<p>Checks to see if table exists, if table does not exist, behaves like
CreateTableSQL. If table exists, generates appropriate ALTER TABLE
MODIFY COLUMN commands if field already exists, or ALTER TABLE ADD
$column if field does not exist.</p>
<p>The class must be connected to the database for ChangeTableSQL to
detect the existence of the table. Idea and code contributed by Florian
Buzin.</p>
<h4>function RenameTableSQL($tabname,$newname)</h4>
<p>Rename a table. Returns the an array of strings, which is the SQL required to rename a table. Since ADOdb 4.53. Contributed by Ralf Becker.</p>
<h4> function RenameColumnSQL($tabname,$oldcolumn,$newcolumn,$flds='')</h4>
<p>Rename a table field. Returns the an array of strings, which is the SQL required to rename a column. The optional $flds is a complete column-defintion-string like for AddColumnSQL, only used by mysql at the moment. Since ADOdb 4.53. Contributed by Ralf Becker.</p>
<h4>function CreateIndexSQL($idxname, $tabname, $flds,
$idxoptarray=false)</h4>
<pre> RETURNS: an array of strings, the sql to be executed, or false<br> $idxname: name of index<br> $tabname: name of table<br> $flds: list of fields as a comma delimited string or an array of strings<br> $idxoptarray: array of index creation options<br></pre>
<p>$idxoptarray is similar to $taboptarray in that index specific
information can be embedded in the array. Other options include:</p>
<pre> CLUSTERED Create clustered index (only mssql)<br> BITMAP Create bitmap index (only oci8)<br> UNIQUE Make unique index<br> FULLTEXT Make fulltext index (only mysql)<br> HASH Create hash index (only postgres)<br> DROP Drop legacy index<br></pre>
<h4>function DropIndexSQL ($idxname, $tabname = NULL)</h4>
<p>Returns the SQL to drop the specified index.</p>
<h4>function AddColumnSQL($tabname, $flds)</h4>
<p>Add one or more columns. Not guaranteed to work under all situations.</p>
<h4>function AlterColumnSQL($tabname, $flds)</h4>
<p>Warning, not all databases support this feature.</p>
<h4>function DropColumnSQL($tabname, $flds)</h4>
<p>Drop 1 or more columns.</p>
<h4>function SetSchema($schema)</h4>
<p>Set the schema.</p>
<h4>function &amp;MetaTables()</h4>
<h4>function &amp;MetaColumns($tab, $upper=true, $schema=false)</h4>
<h4>function &amp;MetaPrimaryKeys($tab,$owner=false,$intkey=false)</h4>
<h4>function &amp;MetaIndexes($table, $primary = false, $owner = false)</h4>
<p>These functions are wrappers for the corresponding functions in the
connection object. However, the table names will be autoquoted by the
TableName function (see below) before being passed to the connection
object.</p>
<h4>function NameQuote($name = NULL)</h4>
<p>If the provided name is quoted with backquotes (`) or contains
special characters, returns the name quoted with the appropriate quote
character, otherwise the name is returned unchanged.</p>
<h4>function TableName($name)</h4>
<p>The same as NameQuote, but will prepend the current schema if
specified</p>
<h4>function MetaType($t,$len=-1,$fieldobj=false)</h4>
<h4>function ActualType($meta)</h4>
<p>Convert between database-independent 'Meta' and database-specific
'Actual' type codes.</p>
<h4>function ExecuteSQLArray($sqlarray, $contOnError = true)</h4>
<pre> RETURNS: 0 if failed, 1 if executed all but with errors, 2 if executed successfully<br> $sqlarray: an array of strings with sql code (no semicolon at the end of string)<br> $contOnError: if true, then continue executing even if error occurs<br></pre>

<h2>ADOdb XML Schema (AXMLS)</h2>
<p>This is a class contributed by Richard Tango-Lowy and Dan Cech that
allows the user to quickly
and easily build a database using the excellent ADODB database library
and a simple XML formatted file.
You can <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodb-xmlschema/">download
the latest version of AXMLS here</a>.</p>
<h3>Quick Start</h3>
<p>Adodb-xmlschema, or AXMLS, is a set of classes that allow the user
to quickly and easily build or upgrade a database on almost any RDBMS
using the excellent ADOdb database library and a simple XML formatted
schema file. Our goal is to give developers a tool that's simple to
use, but that will allow them to create a single file that can build,
upgrade, and manipulate databases on most RDBMS platforms.</p>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Installing axmls</span>
<p>The easiest way to install AXMLS to download and install any recent
version of the ADOdb database abstraction library. To install AXMLS
manually, simply copy the adodb-xmlschema.inc.php file and the xsl
directory into your adodb directory.</p>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Using AXMLS in Your Application</span>
<p>There are two steps involved in using AXMLS in your application:
first, you must create a schema, or XML representation of your
database, and second, you must create the PHP code that will parse and
execute the schema.</p>
<p>Let's begin with a schema that describes a typical, if simplistic
user management table for an application.</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;<br>&lt;schema version="0.2"&gt;<br><br> &lt;table name="users"&gt;<br> &lt;desc&gt;A typical users table for our application.&lt;/desc&gt;<br> &lt;field name="userId" type="I"&gt;<br> &lt;descr&gt;A unique ID assigned to each user.&lt;/descr&gt;<br><br> &lt;KEY/&gt;<br> &lt;AUTOINCREMENT/&gt;<br> &lt;/field&gt;<br> <br> &lt;field name="userName" type="C" size="16"&gt;&lt;NOTNULL/&gt;&lt;/field&gt;<br><br> <br> &lt;index name="userName"&gt;<br> &lt;descr&gt;Put a unique index on the user name&lt;/descr&gt;<br> &lt;col&gt;userName&lt;/col&gt;<br> &lt;UNIQUE/&gt;<br><br> &lt;/index&gt;<br> &lt;/table&gt;<br> <br> &lt;sql&gt;<br> &lt;descr&gt;Insert some data into the users table.&lt;/descr&gt;<br> &lt;query&gt;insert into users (userName) values ( 'admin' )&lt;/query&gt;<br><br> &lt;query&gt;insert into users (userName) values ( 'Joe' )&lt;/query&gt;<br> &lt;/sql&gt;<br>&lt;/schema&gt; <br></pre></pre>
<p>Let's take a detailed look at this schema.</p>
<p>The opening &lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; tag is required by XML. The
&lt;schema&gt; tag tells the parser that the enclosed markup defines an
XML schema. The version="0.2" attribute sets <em>the version of the
AXMLS DTD used by the XML schema.</em> </p>
<p>All versions of AXMLS prior to version 1.0 have a schema version of
"0.1". The current schema version is "0.2".</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;<br>&lt;schema version="0.2"&gt;<br> ...<br>&lt;/schema&gt;<br></pre></pre>
<p>Next we define one or more tables. A table consists of a fields (and
other objects) enclosed by &lt;table&gt; tags. The name="" attribute
specifies the name of the table that will be created in the database.</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>&lt;table name="users"&gt;<br><br> &lt;desc&gt;A typical users table for our application.&lt;/desc&gt;<br> &lt;field name="userId" type="I"&gt;<br><br> &lt;descr&gt;A unique ID assigned to each user.&lt;/descr&gt;<br> &lt;KEY/&gt;<br> &lt;AUTOINCREMENT/&gt;<br> &lt;/field&gt;<br> <br> &lt;field name="userName" type="C" size="16"&gt;&lt;NOTNULL/&gt;&lt;/field&gt;<br><br> <br>&lt;/table&gt;<br></pre></pre>
<p>This table is called "users" and has a description and two fields.
The description is optional, and is currently only for your own
information; it is not applied to the database.</p>
<p>The first &lt;field&gt; tag will create a field named "userId" of
type "I", or integer. (See the ADOdb Data Dictionary documentation for
a list of valid types.) This &lt;field&gt; tag encloses two special
field options: &lt;KEY/&gt;, which specifies this field as a primary
key, and &lt;AUTOINCREMENT/&gt;, which specifies that the database
engine should automatically fill this field with the next available
value when a new row is inserted.</p>
<p>The second &lt;field&gt; tag will create a field named "userName" of
type "C", or character, and of length 16 characters. The
&lt;NOTNULL/&gt; option specifies that this field does not allow NULLs.</p>
<p>There are two ways to add indexes to a table. The simplest is to
mark a field with the &lt;KEY/&gt; option as described above; a primary
key is a unique index. The second and more powerful method uses the
&lt;index&gt; tags.</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>&lt;table name="users"&gt;<br> ...<br> <br> &lt;index name="userName"&gt;<br> &lt;descr&gt;Put a unique index on the user name&lt;/descr&gt;<br> &lt;col&gt;userName&lt;/col&gt;<br><br> &lt;UNIQUE/&gt;<br> &lt;/index&gt;<br> <br>&lt;/table&gt;<br></pre></pre>
<p>The &lt;index&gt; tag specifies that an index should be created on
the enclosing table. The name="" attribute provides the name of the
index that will be created in the database. The description, as above,
is for your information only. The &lt;col&gt; tags list each column
that will be included in the index. Finally, the &lt;UNIQUE/&gt; tag
specifies that this will be created as a unique index.</p>
<p>Finally, AXMLS allows you to include arbitrary SQL that will be
applied to the database when the schema is executed.</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>&lt;sql&gt;<br> &lt;descr&gt;Insert some data into the users table.&lt;/descr&gt;<br> &lt;query&gt;insert into users (userName) values ( 'admin' )&lt;/query&gt;<br><br> &lt;query&gt;insert into users (userName) values ( 'Joe' )&lt;/query&gt;<br>&lt;/sql&gt;<br></pre></pre>
<p>The &lt;sql&gt; tag encloses any number of SQL queries that you
define for your own use.</p>
<p>Now that we've defined an XML schema, you need to know how to apply
it to your database. Here's a simple PHP script that shows how to load
the schema.</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>&lt;?PHP<br>/* You must tell the script where to find the ADOdb and<br> * the AXMLS libraries.<br> */
require( "path_to_adodb/adodb.inc.php");
require( "path_to_adodb/adodb-xmlschema.inc.php" ); # or adodb-xmlschema03.inc.php
 
/* Configuration information. Define the schema filename,<br> * RDBMS platform (see the ADODB documentation for valid<br> * platform names), and database connection information here.<br> */<br>$schemaFile = 'example.xml';<br>$platform = 'mysql';<br>$dbHost = 'localhost';<br>$dbName = 'database';<br>$dbUser = 'username';<br>$dbPassword = 'password';<br><br>/* Start by creating a normal ADODB connection.<br> */<br>$db = ADONewConnection( $platform );<br>$db-&gt;Connect( $dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPassword, $dbName );<br><br>/* Use the database connection to create a new adoSchema object.<br> */<br>$schema = new adoSchema( $db );<br><br>/* Call ParseSchema() to build SQL from the XML schema file.<br> * Then call ExecuteSchema() to apply the resulting SQL to <br> * the database.<br> */<br>$sql = $schema-&gt;ParseSchema( $schemaFile );<br>$result = $schema-&gt;ExecuteSchema();<br>?&gt;<br></pre></pre>
<p>Let's look at each part of the example in turn. After you manually
create the database, there are three steps required to load (or
upgrade) your schema.</p>
<p>First, create a normal ADOdb connection. The variables and values
here should be those required to connect to your database.</p>
<pre class="listing"><pre>$db = ADONewConnection( 'mysql' );<br>$db-&gt;Connect( 'host', 'user', 'password', 'database' );<br></pre></pre>
<p>Second, create the adoSchema object that load and manipulate your
schema. You must pass an ADOdb database connection object in order to
create the adoSchema object.</p>
<pre class="listing">$schema = new adoSchema( $db );<br></pre>
<p>Third, call ParseSchema() to parse the schema and then
ExecuteSchema() to apply it to the database. You must pass
ParseSchema() the path and filename of your schema file.</p>
<pre class="listing">$schema-&gt;ParseSchema( $schemaFile ); <br>$schema-&gt;ExecuteSchema();</pre>
<p>Execute the above code and then log into your database. If you've
done all this right, you should see your tables, indexes, and SQL.</p>
<p>You can find the source files for this tutorial in the examples
directory as tutorial_shema.xml and tutorial.php. See the class
documentation for a more detailed description of the adoSchema methods,
including methods and schema elements that are not described in this
tutorial.</p>
<h3>XML Schema Version 3</h3>
<p>In March 2006, we added adodb-xmlschema03.inc.php to the release, which supports version 3 of XML Schema.
The adodb-xmlschema.inc.php remains the same as previous releases, and supports version 2 of XML Schema.
Version 3 provides some enhancements:
 
<ul>
<li> Support for updating table data during an upgrade.
<li> Support for platform-specific table options and platform negation.
<li> Support for unsigned fields.
<li> Fixed opt and constraint support
<li> Many other fixes such as OPT tag, which allows you to set optional platform settings:
</ul>
 
<p>Example usage:
<pre>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?>
<b>&lt;schema version="0.3"></b>
&lt;table name="ats_kb">
&lt;descr>ATS KnowledgeBase&lt;/descr>
&lt;opt platform="mysql">TYPE=INNODB&lt;/opt>
&lt;field name="recid" type="I"/>
&lt;field name="organization_code" type="I4"/>
&lt;field name="sub_code" type="C" size="20"/>
etc...
</pre>
<p>To use it, change your code to include adodb-xmlschema03.inc.php.
 
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>
If your schema version is older, than XSLT is used to transform the
schema to the newest version. This means that if you are using an older
XML schema format, you need to have the XSLT extension installed.
If you do not want to require your users to have the XSLT extension
installed, make sure you modify your XML schema to conform to the
latest version.

<h3>1. Introduction</h3>
<p>Oracle is the most popular commercial database used with PHP. There are many ways of accessing Oracle databases in PHP. These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The oracle extension</li>
<li>The oci8 extension</li>
<li>PEAR DB library</li>
<li>ADOdb library</li>
</ul>
<p>The wide range of choices is confusing to someone just starting with Oracle and PHP. I will briefly summarize the differences, and show you the advantages of using <a href="http://adodb.sourceforge.net/">ADOdb</a>. </p>
<p>First we have the C extensions which provide low-level access to Oracle functionality. These C extensions are precompiled into PHP, or linked in dynamically when the web server starts up. Just in case you need it, here's a <a href=http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/opensource/php/apache/inst_php_apache_linux.html>guide to installing Oracle and PHP on Linux</a>.</p>
<table width="75%" border="1" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
<td nowrap><b>Oracle extension</b></td>
<td>Designed for Oracle 7 or earlier. This is obsolete.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td nowrap><b>Oci8 extension</b></td>
<td> Despite it's name, which implies it is only for Oracle 8i, this is the standard method for accessing databases running Oracle 8i, 9i or 10g (and later).</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Here is an example of using the oci8 extension to query the <i>emp</i> table of the <i>scott</i> schema with bind parameters:
<pre>
$conn = OCILogon("scott","tiger", $tnsName);
 
$stmt = OCIParse($conn,"select * from emp where empno > :emp order by empno");
$emp = 7900;
OCIBindByName($stmt, ':emp', $emp);
$ok = OCIExecute($stmt);
while (OCIFetchInto($stmt,$arr)) {
print_r($arr);
echo "&lt;hr>";
}
</pre>
<p>This generates the following output:
<div class=greybg>
Array ( [0] => 7902 [1] => FORD [2] => ANALYST [3] => 7566 [4] => 03/DEC/81 [5] => 3000 [7] => 20 )
<hr />
Array ( [0] => 7934 [1] => MILLER [2] => CLERK [3] => 7782 [4] => 23/JAN/82 [5] => 1300 [7] => 10 )
</div>
<p>We also have many higher level PHP libraries that allow you to simplify the above code. The most popular are <a href="http://pear.php.net/">PEAR DB</a> and <a href="http://adodb.sourceforge.net/">ADOdb</a>. Here are some of the differences between these libraries:</p>
<table width="75%" border="1" align="center">

<td>Yes. You can install the optional ADOdb extension, which reimplements the most frequently used parts of ADOdb as fast C code. Note that the source code version of ADOdb runs just fine without this extension, and only makes use of the extension if detected.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> PEAR DB is good enough for simple web apps. But if you need more power, you can see ADOdb offers more sophisticated functionality. The rest of this article will concentrate on using ADOdb with Oracle. You can find out more about <a href="#connecting">connecting to Oracle</a> later in this guide.</p>
<h4>ADOdb Example</h4>
<p>In ADOdb, the above oci8 example querying the <i>emp</i> table could be written as:</p>
<pre>
include "/path/to/adodb.inc.php";
$db = NewADOConnection("oci8");
$db->Connect($tnsName, "scott", "tiger");
 
$rs = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp order by empno",
array('emp' => 7900));
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) {
print_r($arr);
echo "&lt;hr>";
}
</pre>
<p>The Execute( ) function returns a recordset object, and you can retrieve the rows returned using $recordset-&gt;FetchRow( ). </p>
<p>If we ignore the initial connection preamble, we can see the ADOdb version is much easier and simpler:</p>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<td width="50%" bgcolor="#e0e0e0"><b>Oci8</b></td>
<td bgcolor="#e0e0e0"><b>ADOdb</b></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<td><pre><font size="1">$stmt = <b>OCIParse</b>($conn,
"select * from emp where empno > :emp");
$emp = 7900;
<b>OCIBindByName</b>($stmt, ':emp', $emp);
$ok = <b>OCIExecute</b>($stmt);
 
while (<b>OCIFetchInto</b>($stmt,$arr)) {
print_r($arr);
echo "&lt;hr>";
} </font></pre></td>
<td><pre><font size="1">$recordset = $db-><b>Execute</b>("select * from emp where empno>:emp",
array('emp' => 7900));
 
while ($arr = $recordset-><b>FetchRow</b>()) {
print_r($arr);
echo "&lt;hr>";
}</font></pre></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>2. ADOdb Query Semantics</h3>
<p>You can also query the database using the standard Microsoft ADO MoveNext( ) metaphor. The data array for the current row is stored in the <i>fields</i> property of the recordset object, $rs.
MoveNext( ) offers the highest performance among all the techniques for iterating through a recordset:
<pre>
$rs = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp", array('emp' => 7900));
while (!$rs->EOF) {
print_r($rs->fields);
$rs->MoveNext();
}
</pre>
<p>And if you are interested in having the data returned in a 2-dimensional array, you can use:
<pre>
$arr = $db->GetArray("select * from emp where empno>:emp", array('emp' => 7900));
</pre>
<p>Now to obtain only the first row as an array:
<pre>
$arr = $db->GetRow("select * from emp where empno=:emp", array('emp' => 7900));
</pre>
<p>Or to retrieve only the first field of the first row:
<pre>
$arr = $db->GetOne("select ename from emp where empno=:emp", array('emp' => 7900));
</pre>
<p>For easy pagination support, we provide the SelectLimit function. The following will perform a select query, limiting it to 100 rows, starting from row 200:
<pre>
$offset = 200; $limitrows = 100;
$rs = $db->SelectLimit('select * from table', $offset, $limitrows);
</pre>
<p>The $limitrows parameter is optional.
<h4>Array Fetch Mode</h4>
<p>When data is being returned in an array, you can choose the type of array the data is returned in.
<ol>
<li> Numeric indexes - use <font size="2" face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$connection-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_NUM).</font></li>
<li>Associative indexes - the keys of the array are the names of the fields (in upper-case). Use <font size="2" face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$connection-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC)</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">.</font></li>
<li>Both numeric and associative indexes - use <font size="2" face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$connection-&gt;SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_BOTH).</font></li>
</ol>
<p>The default is ADODB_FETCH_BOTH for Oracle.</p>
<h4><b>Caching</b></h4>
<p>You can define a database cache directory using $ADODB_CACHE_DIR, and cache the results of frequently used queries that rarely change. This is particularly useful for SQL with complex where clauses and group-by's and order-by's. It is also good for relieving heavily-loaded database servers.</p>
<p>This example will cache the following select statement for 3600 seconds (1 hour):</p>
<pre>
$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/var/adodb/tmp';
$rs = $db->CacheExecute(3600, "select names from allcountries order by 1");
</pre>
There are analogous CacheGetArray(
), CacheGetRow( ), CacheGetOne( ) and CacheSelectLimit( ) functions. The first parameter is the number of seconds to cache. You can also pass a bind array as a 3rd parameter (not shown above).
<p>There is an alternative syntax for the caching functions. The first parameter is omitted, and you set the cacheSecs
property of the connection object:
<pre>
$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/var/adodb/tmp';
$connection->cacheSecs = 3600;
$rs = $connection->CacheExecute($sql, array('id' => 1));
</pre>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>3. Using Prepare( ) For Frequently Used Statements</h3>
<p>Prepare( ) is for compiling frequently used SQL statement for reuse. For example, suppose we have a large array which needs to be inserted into an Oracle database. The following will result in a massive speedup in query execution (at least 20-40%), as the SQL statement only needs to be compiled once:</p>
<pre>
$stmt = $db->Prepare('insert into table (field1, field2) values (:f1, :f2)');
foreach ($arrayToInsert as $key => $value) {
$db->Execute($stmt, array('f1' => $key, 'f2' => $val);
}
</pre>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>4. Working With LOBs</h3>
<p>Oracle treats data which is more than 4000 bytes in length specially. These are called Large Objects, or LOBs for short. Binary LOBs are BLOBs, and character LOBs are CLOBs. In most Oracle libraries, you need to do a lot of work to process LOBs, probably because Oracle designed it to work in systems with little memory. ADOdb tries to make things easy by assuming the LOB can fit into main memory. </p>
<p>ADOdb will transparently handle LOBs in <i>select</i> statements. The LOBs are automatically converted to PHP variables without any special coding.</p>
<p>For updating records with LOBs, the functions UpdateBlob( ) and UpdateClob( ) are provided. Here's a BLOB example. The parameters should be self-explanatory:
<pre>
$ok = $db->Execute("insert into aTable (id, name, ablob)
values (aSequence.nextVal, 'Name', null)");
if (!$ok) return LogError($db-&gt;ErrorMsg());
<font color="#006600"># params: $tableName, $blobFieldName, $blobValue, $whereClause</font>
$db->UpdateBlob('aTable', 'ablob', $blobValue, 'id=aSequence.currVal');
</pre>
<p>and the analogous CLOB example:
<pre>
$ok = $db->Execute("insert into aTable (id, name, aclob)
values (aSequence.nextVal, 'Name', null)");
if (!$ok) return LogError($db-&gt;ErrorMsg());
$db->UpdateClob('aTable', 'aclob', $clobValue, 'id=aSequence.currVal');
</pre>
<p>Note that LogError( ) is a user-defined function, and not part of ADOdb.
<p>Inserting LOBs is more complicated. Since ADOdb 4.55, we allow you to do this
(assuming that the <em>photo</em> field is a BLOB, and we want to store $blob_data into
this field, and the primary key is the <em>id</em> field):
<pre>
$sql = <span class="style1">"INSERT INTO photos ( ID, photo) ".
"VALUES ( :id, empty_blob() )".
" RETURNING photo INTO :xx"</span>;
 
$stmt = $db->PrepareSP($sql);
$db->InParameter($stmt, $<strong>id</strong>, <span class="style1">'id'</span>);
$blob = $db->InParameter($stmt, $<strong>blob_data</strong>, <span class="style1">'xx'</span>,-1, OCI_B_BLOB);
$db->StartTrans();
$ok = $db->Execute($stmt);
$db->CompleteTrans();
</pre>
<p>
<h3>5. REF CURSORs</h3>
<p>Oracle recordsets can be passed around as variables called REF Cursors. For example, in PL/SQL, we could define a function <i>open_tab</i> that returns a REF CURSOR in the first parameter:</p>
<pre>
TYPE TabType IS REF CURSOR RETURN TAB%ROWTYPE;
 
PROCEDURE open_tab (tabcursor IN OUT TabType,tablenames IN VARCHAR) IS
BEGIN
OPEN tabcursor FOR SELECT * FROM TAB WHERE tname LIKE tablenames;
END open_tab;
</pre>
<p>In ADOdb, we could access this REF Cursor using the ExecuteCursor() function. The following will find
all table names that begin with 'A' in the current schema:
<pre>
$rs = $db->ExecuteCursor("BEGIN open_tab(:refc,'A%'); END;",'refc');
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) print_r($arr);
</pre>
<p>The first parameter is the PL/SQL statement, and the second parameter is the name of the REF Cursor.
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>6. In and Out Parameters</h3>
<p>The following PL/SQL
stored procedure requires an input variable, and returns a result into an output variable:
<pre>
PROCEDURE data_out(input IN VARCHAR, output OUT VARCHAR) IS
BEGIN
output := 'I love '||input;
END;
</pre>
<p>The following ADOdb code allows you to call the stored procedure:</p>
<pre>
$stmt = $db->PrepareSP("BEGIN adodb.data_out(:a1, :a2); END;");
$input = 'Sophia Loren';
$db->InParameter($stmt,$input,'a1');
$db->OutParameter($stmt,$output,'a2');
$ok = $db->Execute($stmt);
if ($ok) echo ($output == 'I love Sophia Loren') ? 'OK' : 'Failed';
</pre>
<p>PrepareSP( ) is a special function that knows about bind parameters.
The main limitation currently is that IN OUT parameters do not work.
<h4>Bind Parameters and REF CURSORs</h4>
<p>We could also rewrite the REF CURSOR example to use InParameter (requires ADOdb 4.53 or later):
<pre>
$stmt = $db->PrepareSP("BEGIN adodb.open_tab(:refc,:tabname); END;");
$input = 'A%';
$db->InParameter($stmt,$input,'tabname');
$rs = $db->ExecuteCursor($stmt,'refc');
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) print_r($arr);
</pre>
<h4>Bind Parameters and LOBs</h4>
<p>You can also operate on LOBs. In this example, we have IN and OUT parameters using CLOBs.
<pre>
$text = 'test test test';
$sql = "declare rs clob; begin :rs := lobinout(:sa0); end;";
$stmt = $conn -> PrepareSP($sql);
$conn -> InParameter($stmt,$text,'sa0', -1, OCI_B_CLOB); # -1 means variable length
$rs = '';
$conn -> OutParameter($stmt,$rs,'rs', -1, OCI_B_CLOB);
$conn -> Execute($stmt);
echo "return = ".$rs."&lt;br>";
</pre>
<p>Similarly, you can use the constant OCI_B_BLOB to indicate that you are using BLOBs.
<h4>Reusing Bind Parameters with CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE</h4>
<p>Many web programmers do not care to use bind parameters, and prefer to enter the SQL directly. So instead of:</p>
<pre>
$arr = $db->GetArray("select * from emp where empno>:emp", array('emp' => 7900));
</pre>
<p>They prefer entering the values inside the SQL:
<pre>
$arr = $db->GetArray("select * from emp where empno>7900");
</pre>
<p>This reduces Oracle performance because Oracle will reuse compiled SQL which is identical to previously compiled SQL. The above example with the values inside the SQL
is unlikely to be reused. As an optimization, from Oracle 8.1 onwards, you can set the following session parameter after you login:
<pre>
ALTER SESSION SET CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE
</pre>
<p>This will force Oracle to convert all such variables (eg. the 7900 value) into constant bind parameters, improving SQL reuse.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>7. Dates and Datetime in ADOdb</h3>
<p>There are two things you need to know about dates in ADOdb. </p>
<p>First, to ensure cross-database compability, ADOdb assumes that dates are returned in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD H24:MI:SS).</p>
<p>Secondly, since Oracle treats dates and datetime as the same data type, we decided not to display the time in the default date format. So on login, ADOdb will set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to 'YYYY-MM-DD'. If you prefer to show the date and time by default, do this:</p>
<pre>
$db = NewADOConnection('oci8');
$db->NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';
$db->Connect($tns, $user, $pwd);
</pre>
<p>Or execute:</p>
<pre>$sql = &quot;ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'&quot;;
$db-&gt;Execute($sql);
</pre>
<p>If you are not concerned about date portability and do not use ADOdb's portability layer, you can use your preferred date format instead.
<p>
<h3>8. Database Portability Layer</h3>
<p>ADOdb provides the following functions for portably generating SQL functions
as strings to be merged into your SQL statements:</p>
<table width="75%" border="1" align=center>
<tr>
<td width=30%><b>Function</b></td>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>DBDate($date)</td>
<td>Pass in a UNIX timestamp or ISO date and it will convert it to a date
string formatted for INSERT/UPDATE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>DBTimeStamp($date)</td>
<td>Pass in a UNIX timestamp or ISO date and it will convert it to a timestamp
string formatted for INSERT/UPDATE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>SQLDate($date, $fmt)</td>
<td>Portably generate a date formatted using $fmt mask, for use in SELECT
statements.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>OffsetDate($date, $ndays)</td>
<td>Portably generate a $date offset by $ndays.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Concat($s1, $s2, ...)</td>
<td>Portably concatenate strings. Alternatively, for mssql use mssqlpo driver,
which allows || operator.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>IfNull($fld, $replaceNull)</td>
<td>Returns a string that is the equivalent of MySQL IFNULL or Oracle NVL.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Param($name)</td>
<td>Generates bind placeholders, using ? or named conventions as appropriate.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>$db->sysDate</td><td>Property that holds the SQL function that returns today's date</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>$db->sysTimeStamp</td><td>Property that holds the SQL function that returns the current
timestamp (date+time).
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>$db->concat_operator</td><td>Property that holds the concatenation operator
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>$db->length</td><td>Property that holds the name of the SQL strlen function.
</td></tr>
 
<tr><td>$db->upperCase</td><td>Property that holds the name of the SQL strtoupper function.
</td></tr>
<tr><td>$db->random</td><td>Property that holds the SQL to generate a random number between 0.00 and 1.00.
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>$db->substr</td><td>Property that holds the name of the SQL substring function.
</td></tr>
</table>
<p>ADOdb also provides multiple oracle oci8 drivers for different scenarios:</p>
<table width="75%" border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<td nowrap><b>Driver Name</b></td>
<td><b>Description</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>oci805 </td>
<td>Specifically for Oracle 8.0.5. This driver has a slower SelectLimit( ).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>oci8</td>
<td>The default high performance driver. The keys of associative arrays returned in a recordset are upper-case.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>oci8po</td>
<td> The portable Oracle driver. Slightly slower than oci8. This driver uses ? instead of :<i>bindvar</i> for binding variables, which is the standard for other databases. Also the keys of associative arrays are in lower-case like other databases.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Here's an example of calling the <i>oci8po</i> driver. Note that the bind variables use question-mark:</p>
<pre>$db = NewADOConnection('oci8po');
$db-&gt;Connect($tns, $user, $pwd);
$db-&gt;Execute(&quot;insert into atable (f1, f2) values (?,?)&quot;, array(12, 'abc'));</pre>
<p>&nbsp;<a name=connecting></a>
<h3>9. Connecting to Oracle</h3>
<p>Before you can use ADOdb, you need to have the Oracle client installed and setup the oci8 extension. This extension comes pre-compiled for Windows (but you still need to enable it in the php.ini file). For information on compiling the oci8 extension for PHP and Apache on Unix, there is an excellent guide at <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/opensource/php/apache/inst_php_apache_linux.html">oracle.com</a>. </p>
<h4>Should You Use Persistent Connections</h4>
<p>One question that is frequently asked is should you use persistent connections to Oracle. Persistent connections allow PHP to recycle existing connections, reusing them after the previous web pages have completed. Non-persistent connections close automatically after the web page has completed. Persistent connections are faster because the cost of reconnecting is expensive, but there is additional resource overhead. As an alternative, Oracle allows you to pool and reuse server processes; this is called <a href="http://www.cise.ufl.edu/help/database/oracle-docs/server.920/a96521/manproc.htm#13132">Shared Server</a> (also known as MTS).</p>
<p>The author's benchmarks suggest that using non-persistent connections and the Shared Server configuration offer the best performance. If Shared Server is not an option, only then consider using persistent connections.</p>
<h4>Connection Examples</h4>
<p>Just in case you are having problems connecting to Oracle, here are some examples:</p>
<p>a. PHP and Oracle reside on the same machine, use default SID, with non-persistent connections:</p>
<pre> $conn = NewADOConnection('oci8');
$conn-&gt;Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
<p>b. TNS Name defined in tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES), eg. 'myTNS', using persistent connections:</p>
<pre> $conn = NewADOConnection('oci8');
$conn-&gt;PConnect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', 'myTNS');</pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;PConnect('myTNS', 'scott', 'tiger');</pre>
<p>c. Host Address and SID</p>
<pre>
$conn->connectSID = true;
$conn-&gt;Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'SID');</pre>
<p>d. Host Address and Service Name</p>
<pre> $conn-&gt;Connect('192.168.0.1', 'scott', 'tiger', 'servicename');</pre>
<p>e. Oracle connection string:
<pre> $cstr = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=$host)(PORT=$port))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$sid)))";
$conn-&gt;Connect($cstr, 'scott', 'tiger');
</pre>
<p>f. ADOdb data source names (dsn):
<pre>
$dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@tnsname/?persist'; # persist is optional
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn); # no need for Connect/PConnect
$dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@host/sid';
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);
$dsn = 'oci8://user:pwd@/'; # oracle on local machine
$conn = ADONewConnection($dsn);</pre>
<p>With ADOdb data source names,
you don't have to call Connect( ) or PConnect( ).
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>10. Error Checking</h3>
<p>The examples in this article are easy to read but a bit simplistic because we ignore error-handling. Execute( ) and Connect( ) will return false on error. So a more realistic way to call Connect( ) and Execute( ) is:
<pre>function InvokeErrorHandler()
{<br>global $db; ## assume global
MyLogFunction($db-&gt;ErrorNo(), $db-&gt;ErrorMsg());
}
if (!$db-&gt;Connect($tns, $usr, $pwd)) InvokeErrorHandler();
 
$rs = $db->Execute("select * from emp where empno>:emp order by empno",
array('emp' => 7900));
if (!$rs) return InvokeErrorHandler();
while ($arr = $rs->FetchRow()) {
print_r($arr);
echo "&lt;hr>";
}
</pre>
<p>You can retrieve the error message and error number of the last SQL statement executed from ErrorMsg( ) and ErrorNo( ). You can also <a href=http://phplens.com/adodb/using.custom.error.handlers.and.pear_error.html>define a custom error handler function</a>.
ADOdb also supports throwing exceptions in PHP5.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Handling Large Recordsets (added 27 May 2005)</h3>
The oci8 driver does not support counting the number of records returned in a SELECT statement, so the function RecordCount()
is emulated when the global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS is set to true, which is the default.
We emulate this by buffering all the records. This can take up large amounts of memory for big recordsets.
Set $ADODB_COUNTRECS to false for the best performance.
<p>
This variable is checked every time a query is executed, so you can selectively choose which recordsets to count.
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>The ADOdb Performance Monitoring Library</h3>
<p>V4.80 8 Mar 2006 (c) 2000-2006 John Lim (jlim#natsoft.com.my)</p>
<p><font size="1">This software is dual licensed using BSD-Style and
LGPL. This means you can use it in compiled proprietary and commercial
products.</font></p>

</p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>This module, part of the ADOdb package, provides both CLI and HTML
interfaces for viewing key performance indicators of your database.
This is very useful because web apps such as the popular phpMyAdmin
currently do not provide effective database health monitoring tools.
The module provides the following: </p>
<ul>
<li>A quick health check of your database server using <code>$perf-&gt;HealthCheck()</code>
or <code>$perf-&gt;HealthCheckCLI()</code>. </li>
<li>User interface for performance monitoring, <code>$perf-&gt;UI()</code>.
This UI displays:
<ul>
<li>the health check, </li>
<li>all SQL logged and their query plans, </li>
<li>a list of all tables in the current database</li>
<li>an interface to continiously poll the server for key
performance indicators such as CPU, Hit Ratio, Disk I/O</li>
<li>a form where you can enter and run SQL interactively.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Gives you an API to build database monitoring tools for a server
farm, for example calling <code>$perf-&gt;DBParameter('data cache hit
ratio')</code> returns this very important statistic in a database
independant manner. </li>
</ul>
<p>ADOdb also has the ability to log all SQL executed, using <a
href="docs-adodb.htm#logsql">LogSQL</a>. All SQL logged can be
analyzed through the performance monitor <a href="#ui">UI</a>. In the <i>View
SQL</i> mode, we categorize the SQL into 3 types:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Suspicious SQL</b>: queries with high average execution times,
and are potential candidates for rewriting</li>
<li><b>Expensive SQL</b>: queries with high total execution times
(#executions * avg execution time). Optimizing these queries will
reduce your database server load.</li>
<li><b>Invalid SQL</b>: queries that generate errors.</li>
</ul>
<p>Each query is hyperlinked to a description of the query plan, and
every PHP script that executed that query is also shown.</p>
<p>Please note that the information presented is a very basic database
health check, and does not provide a complete overview of database
performance. Although some attempt has been made to make it work across
multiple databases in the same way, it is impossible to do so. For the
health check, we do try to display the following key database
parameters for all drivers:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>data cache size</b> - The amount of memory allocated to the
cache.</li>
<li><b>data cache hit ratio</b> - A measure of how effective the
cache is, as a percentage. The higher, the better.</li>
<li><b>current connections</b> - The number of sessions currently
connected to the database. </li>
</ul>
<p>You will need to connect to the database as an administrator to view
most of the parameters. </p>
<p>Code improvements as very welcome, particularly adding new database
parameters and automated tuning hints.</p>
<a name="usage"></a>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Currently, the following drivers: <em>mysql</em>, <em>postgres</em>,
<em>oci8</em>, <em>mssql</em>, <i>informix</i> and <em>db2</em> are
supported. To create a new performance monitor, call NewPerfMonitor( )
as demonstrated below: </p>
<pre>&lt;?php<br>include_once('adodb.inc.php');<br>session_start(); <font
color="#006600"># session variables required for monitoring</font><br>$conn = ADONewConnection($driver);<br>$conn-&gt;Connect($server,$user,$pwd,$db);<br>$perf =&amp; NewPerfMonitor($conn);<br>$perf-&gt;UI($pollsecs=5);<br>?&gt;<br></pre>
<p>It is also possible to retrieve a single database parameter:</p>
<pre>$size = $perf-&gt;DBParameter('data cache size');<br></pre>
<p>
Thx to Fernando Ortiz for the informix module. </p>
<h3>Methods</h3>
<a name="ui"></a>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>UI($pollsecs=5)</b></font></p>
<p>Creates a web-based user interface for performance monitoring. When
you click on Poll, server statistics will be displayed every $pollsecs
seconds. See <a href="#usage">Usage</a> above. </p>
<p>Since 4.11, we allow users to enter and run SQL interactively via
the "Run SQL" link. To disable this for security reasons, set this
constant before calling $perf-&gt;UI(). </p>

<p><b>WS-CPU%</b> is the Web Server CPU load of the server that PHP is
running from (eg. the database client), and not the database. The <b>Hit%</b>
is the data cache hit ratio. <b>Sess</b> is the current number of
sessions connected to the database. If you are using persistent
connections, this should not change much. The <b>Reads/s</b> and <b>Writes/s</b>
are synthetic values to give the viewer a rough guide to I/O, and are
not to be taken literally. </p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>SuspiciousSQL</b>($numsql=10)</font></p>
<p>Returns SQL which have high average execution times as a HTML table.
Each sql statement
is hyperlinked to a new window which details the execution plan and the
scripts that execute this SQL.
</p>
<p> The number of statements returned is determined by $numsql. Data is
taken from the adodb_logsql table, where the sql statements are logged
when
$connection-&gt;LogSQL(true) is enabled. The adodb_logsql table is
populated using <a href="docs-adodb.htm#logsql">$conn-&gt;LogSQL</a>.
</p>
<p>For Oracle, Ixora Suspicious SQL returns a list of SQL statements
that are most cache intensive as a HTML table. These are data intensive
SQL statements that could benefit most from tuning. </p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>ExpensiveSQL</b>($numsql=10)</font></p>
<p>Returns SQL whose total execution time (avg time * #executions) is
high as a HTML table. Each sql statement
is hyperlinked to a new window which details the execution plan and the
scripts that execute this SQL.
</p>
<p> The number of statements returned is determined by $numsql. Data is
taken from the adodb_logsql table, where the sql statements are logged
when
$connection-&gt;LogSQL(true) is enabled. The adodb_logsql table is
populated using <a href="docs-adodb.htm#logsql">$conn-&gt;LogSQL</a>.
</p>
<p>For Oracle, Ixora Expensive SQL returns a list of SQL statements
that are taking the most CPU load when run.
</p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>InvalidSQL</b>($numsql=10)</font></p>
<p>Returns a list of invalid SQL as an HTML table.
</p>
<p>Data is taken from the adodb_logsql table, where the sql statements
are logged when
$connection-&gt;LogSQL(true) is enabled.
</p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>Tables</b>($orderby=1)</font></p>
<p>Returns information on all tables in a database, with the first two
fields containing the table name and table size, the remaining fields
depend on the database driver. If $orderby is set to 1, it will sort by
name. If $orderby is set to 2, then it will sort by table size. Some
database drivers (mssql and mysql) will ignore the $orderby clause. For
postgresql, the information is up-to-date since the last <i>vacuum</i>.
Not supported currently for db2.</p>
<h3>Raw Functions</h3>
<p>Raw functions return values without any formatting.</p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>DBParameter</b>($paramname)</font></p>
<p>Returns the value of a database parameter, such as
$this-&gt;DBParameter("data cache size").</p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">function <b>CPULoad</b>()</font></p>
<p>Returns the CPU load of the database client (NOT THE SERVER) as a
percentage. Only works for Linux and Windows. For Windows, WMI must be
available.</p>
<h3>Format of $settings Property</h3>
<p> To create new database parameters, you need to understand
$settings. The $settings data structure is an associative array. Each
element of the array defines a database parameter. The key is the name
of the database parameter. If no key is defined, then it is assumed to
be a section break, and the value is the name of the section break. If
this is too confusing, looking at the source code will help a lot!</p>
<p> Each database parameter is itself an array consisting of the
following elements:</p>
<ol start="0">
<li> Category code, used to group related db parameters. If the
category code is 'HIDE', then
the database parameter is not shown when HTML() is called. <br>
</li>
<li> either
<ol type="a">
<li>sql string to retrieve value, eg. "select value from
v\$parameter where name='db_block_size'", </li>
<li>array holding sql string and field to look for, e.g.
array('show variables','table_cache'); optional 3rd parameter is the
$rs-&gt;fields[$index] to use (otherwise $index=1), and optional 4th
parameter is a constant to multiply the result with (typically 100 for
percentage calculations),</li>
<li>a string prefixed by =, then a PHP method of the class is
invoked, e.g. to invoke $this-&gt;GetIndexValue(), set this array
element to '=GetIndexValue', <br>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li> Description of database parameter. If description begins with an
=, then it is interpreted as a method call, just as in (1c) above,
taking one parameter, the current value. E.g. '=GetIndexDescription'
will invoke $this-&gt;GetIndexDescription($val). This is useful for
generating tuning suggestions. For an example, see WarnCacheRatio().</li>
</ol>
<p>Example from MySQL, table_cache database parameter:</p>
<pre>'table cache' =&gt; array('CACHE', # category code<br> array("show variables", 'table_cache'), # array (type 1b)<br> 'Number of tables to keep open'), # description</pre>

<h3>ADODB Session Management Manual</h3>
<p>
V4.80 8 Mar 2006 (c) 2000-2006 John Lim (jlim#natsoft.com.my)

</p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p> We store state information specific to a user or web client in
session variables. These session variables persist throughout a
session, as the user moves from page to page. </p>
<p>To use session variables, call session_start() at the beginning of
your web page, before your HTTP headers are sent. Then for every
variable you want to keep alive for the duration of the session, call
session_register($variable_name). By default, the session handler will
keep track of the session by using a cookie. You can save objects or
arrays in session variables also.
</p>
<p>The default method of storing sessions is to store it in a file.
However if you have special needs such as you:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Have multiple web servers that need to share session info</li>
<li>Need to do special processing of each session</li>
<li>Require notification when a session expires</li>
</ul>
<p>The ADOdb session handler provides you with the above
additional capabilities by storing the session information as records
in a database table that can be shared across multiple servers. </p>
<p>These records will be garbage collected based on the php.ini [session] timeout settings.
You can register a notification function to notify you when the record has expired and
is about to be freed by the garbage collector.</p>
<p><b>Important Upgrade Notice:</b> Since ADOdb 4.05, the session files
have been moved to its own folder, adodb/session. This is a rewrite
of the session code by Ross Smith. The old session code is in

<ul>
<li>Ability to define a notification function that is called when a
session expires. Typically
used to detect session logout and release global resources. </li>
<li>Optimization of database writes. We crc32 the session data and
only perform an update
to the session data if there is a data change. </li>
<li>Support for large amounts of session data with CLOBs (see
adodb-session-clob.php). Useful
for Oracle. </li>
<li>Support for encrypted session data, see
adodb-cryptsession.inc.php. Enabling encryption is simply a matter of
including adodb-cryptsession.inc.php instead of adodb-session.inc.php. </li>
</ul>
<h3>Setup</h3>
<p>There are 3 session management files that you can use:
</p>
<pre>adodb-session.php : The default<br>adodb-session-clob.php : Use this if you are storing DATA in clobs<br>adodb-cryptsession.php : Use this if you want to store encrypted session data in the database<br><br>
</pre>
<p><strong>Examples</strong>
<p><pre>
<font
color="#004040"> include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br> <br><b> $ADODB_SESSION_DRIVER='mysql';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_CONNECT='localhost';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_USER ='scott';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_PWD ='tiger';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_DB ='sessiondb';</b><br> <br> <b>include('adodb/session/adodb-session.php');</b><br> session_start();<br> <br> #<br> # Test session vars, the following should increment on refresh<br> #<br> $_SESSION['AVAR'] += 1;<br> print "&lt;p&gt;\$_SESSION['AVAR']={$_SESSION['AVAR']}&lt;/p&gt;";<br></font></pre>
<p>To force non-persistent connections, call adodb_session_open() first before session_start():
<p>
<pre>
<font color="#004040"><br> include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br> <br><b> $ADODB_SESSION_DRIVER='mysql';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_CONNECT='localhost';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_USER ='scott';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_PWD ='tiger';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_DB ='sessiondb';</b><br> <br> <b>include('adodb/session/adodb-session.php');<br> adodb_sess_open(false,false,false);</b><br> session_start();<br> </font>
</pre>
<p> The 3rd parameter to adodb_sess_open($path, $sessname, $connectMode) sets the connection method. You can pass in the following:</p>
<table width="50%" border="1">
<tr>
<td><b>$connectMode</b></td>
<td><b>Connection Method</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>true</td>
<td><p>PConnect( )</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>false</td>
<td>Connect( )</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>'N'</td>
<td>NConnect( )</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>'P'</td>
<td>PConnect( )</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>'C'</td>
<td>Connect( )</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>To use a encrypted sessions, simply replace the file adodb-session.php:</p>
<pre> <font
color="#004040"><br> include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br> <br><b> $ADODB_SESSION_DRIVER='mysql';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_CONNECT='localhost';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_USER ='scott';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_PWD ='tiger';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_DB ='sessiondb';<br> <br> include('adodb/session/adodb-cryptsession.php');</b><br> session_start();</font><br>
</pre>
<p>And the same technique for adodb-session-clob.php:</p>
<pre> <font
color="#004040"><br> include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');<br> <br><b> $ADODB_SESSION_DRIVER='mysql';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_CONNECT='localhost';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_USER ='scott';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_PWD ='tiger';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_DB ='sessiondb';<br> <br> include('adodb/session/adodb-session-clob.php');</b><br> session_start();</font>
</pre>
<h4>Installation</h4>
<p>1. Create this table in your database (syntax might vary depending on your db):
<p><pre> <a
name="sessiontab"></a> <font color="#004040"><br> create table sessions (<br> SESSKEY char(32) not null,<br> EXPIRY int(11) unsigned not null,<br> EXPIREREF varchar(64),<br> DATA text not null,<br> primary key (sesskey)<br> );</font><br>
</pre>
<p>You may want to rename the 'data' field to 'session_data' as
'data' appears to be a reserved word for one or more of the following:
<ul>
<li> ANSI SQL
<li> IBM DB2
<li> MS SQL Server
<li> Postgres
<li> SAP
</ul>
<p>
If you do, then execute:
<pre>
ADODB_Session::dataFieldName('session_data');
</pre>
<p> For the adodb-session-clob.php version, create this:
<p> <pre>
<font
color="#004040"><br> create table sessions (<br> SESSKEY char(32) not null,<br> EXPIRY int(11) unsigned not null,<br> EXPIREREF varchar(64),<br> DATA CLOB,<br> primary key (sesskey)<br> );</font>
</pre>
<p>2. Then define the following parameters. You can either modify this file, or define them before this file is included:
<pre> <font
color="#004040"><br> $ADODB_SESSION_DRIVER='database driver, eg. mysql or ibase';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_CONNECT='server to connect to';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_USER ='user';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_PWD ='password';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_DB ='database';<br> $ADODB_SESSION_TBL = 'sessions'; # setting this is optional<br> </font>
</pre><p>
When the session is created, $<b>ADODB_SESS_CONN</b> holds the connection object.<br> <br> 3. Recommended is PHP 4.0.6 or later. There are documented session bugs in earlier versions of PHP.
<h3>Notifications</h3>
<p>You can receive notification when your session is cleaned up by the session garbage collector or
when you call session_destroy().
<p>PHP's session extension will automatically run a special garbage collection function based on
your php.ini session.cookie_lifetime and session.gc_probability settings. This will in turn call
adodb's garbage collection function, which can be setup to do notification.
<p>
<pre>
PHP Session --> ADOdb Session --> Find all recs --> Send --> Delete queued
GC Function GC Function to be deleted notification records
executed at called by for all recs
random time Session Extension queued for deletion
</pre>
<p>When a session is created, we need to store a value in the session record (in the EXPIREREF field), typically
the userid of the session. Later when the session has expired, just before the record is deleted,
we reload the EXPIREREF field and call the notification function with the value of EXPIREREF, which
is the userid of the person being logged off.
<p>ADOdb use a global variable $ADODB_SESSION_EXPIRE_NOTIFY that you must predefine before session
start to store the notification configuratioin.
$ADODB_SESSION_EXPIRE_NOTIFY is an array with 2 elements, the
first being the name of the session variable you would like to store in
the EXPIREREF field, and the 2nd is the notification function's name. </p>
<p>For example, suppose we want to be notified when a user's session has expired,
based on the userid. When the user logs in, we store the id in the global session variable
$USERID. The function name is 'NotifyFn'.
<p>
So we define (before session_start() is called): </p>
<pre> <font color="#004040"><br> $ADODB_SESSION_EXPIRE_NOTIFY = array('USERID','NotifyFn');<br> </font></pre>
And when the NotifyFn is called (when the session expires), the
$USERID is passed in as the first parameter, eg. NotifyFn($userid, $sesskey). The
session key (which is the primary key of the record in the sessions
table) is the 2nd parameter.
<p> Here is an example of a Notification function that deletes some
records in the database and temporary files: </p>
<pre><font color="#004040"><br> function NotifyFn($expireref, $sesskey)<br> {<br> global $ADODB_SESS_CONN; # the session connection object<br><br> $user = $ADODB_SESS_CONN-&gt;qstr($expireref);<br> $ADODB_SESS_CONN-&gt;Execute("delete from shopping_cart where user=$user");<br> system("rm /work/tmpfiles/$expireref/*");<br> }</font><br> </pre>
<p> NOTE 1: If you have register_globals disabled in php.ini, then you
will have to manually set the EXPIREREF. E.g. </p>
<pre> <font color="#004040">
$GLOBALS['USERID'] = GetUserID();
$ADODB_SESSION_EXPIRE_NOTIFY = array('USERID','NotifyFn');</font>
</pre>
<p> NOTE 2: If you want to change the EXPIREREF after the session
record has been created, you will need to modify any session variable
to force a database record update.
</p>
<h4>Neat Notification Tricks</h4>
<p><i>ExpireRef</i> normally holds the user id of the current session.
</p>
<p>1. You can then write a session monitor, scanning expireref to see
who is currently logged on.
</p>
<p>2. If you delete the sessions record for a specific user, eg.
</p>
<pre>delete from sessions where expireref = '$USER'<br></pre>
then the user is logged out. Useful for ejecting someone from a
site.
<p>3. You can scan the sessions table to ensure no user
can be logged in twice. Useful for security reasons.
</p>
<h3>Compression/Encryption Schemes</h3>
Since ADOdb 4.05, thanks to Ross Smith, multiple encryption and
compression schemes are supported. Currently, supported are:
<p>
<pre> MD5Crypt (crypt.inc.php)<br> MCrypt<br> Secure (Horde's emulation of MCrypt, if MCrypt module is not available.)<br> GZip<br> BZip2<br></pre>
<p>These are stackable. E.g.
<p><pre>ADODB_Session::filter(new ADODB_Compress_Bzip2());<br>ADODB_Session::filter(new ADODB_Encrypt_MD5());<br></pre>
will compress and then encrypt the record in the database.
<h3>adodb_session_regenerate_id()</h3>
<p>Dynamically change the current session id with a newly generated one and update database. Currently only
works with cookies. Useful to improve security by reducing the risk of session-hijacking.
See this article on <a href=http://shiflett.org/articles/security-corner-feb2004>Session Fixation</a> for more info
on the theory behind this feature. Usage:
<pre>
$ADODB_SESSION_DRIVER='mysql';
$ADODB_SESSION_CONNECT='localhost';
$ADODB_SESSION_USER ='root';
$ADODB_SESSION_PWD ='abc';
$ADODB_SESSION_DB ='phplens';
include('path/to/adodb/session/adodb-session.php');
session_start();
# Every 10 page loads, reset cookie for safety.
# This is extremely simplistic example, better
# to regenerate only when the user logs in or changes
# user privilege levels.
if ((rand()%10) == 0) adodb_session_regenerate_id(); </pre>
<p>This function calls session_regenerate_id() internally or simulates it if the function does not exist.

</p>
 
<p><b>3.50 19 May 2003</b></p>
<p>Fixed mssql compat with FreeTDS. FreeTDS does not implement mssql_fetch_assoc().
<p>Merged back connection and recordset code into adodb.inc.php.
<p>ADOdb sessions using oracle clobs contributed by achim.gosse#ddd.de. See adodb-session-clob.php.
<p>Added /s modifier to preg_match everywhere, which ensures that regex does not
stop at /n. Thx Pao-Hsi Huang.
<p>Fixed error in metacolumns() for mssql.
<p>Added time format support for SQLDate.
<p>Image => B added to metatype.
<p>MetaType now checks empty($this->blobSize) instead of empty($this).
<p>Datadict has beta support for informix, sybase (mapped to mssql), db2 and generic
(which is a fudge).
<p>BlobEncode for postgresql uses pg_escape_bytea, if available. Needed for compat
with 7.3.
<p>Added $ADODB_LANG, to support multiple languages in MetaErrorMsg().
<p>Datadict can now parse table definition as declarative text.
<p>For DataDict, oci8 autoincrement trigger missing semi-colon. Fixed.
<p>For DataDict, when REPLACE flag enabled, drop sequence in datadict for autoincrement
field in postgres and oci8.s
<p>Postgresql defaults to template1 database if no database defined in connect/pconnect.
<p>We now clear _resultid in postgresql if query fails.
<p><b>3.40 19 May 2003</b></p>
<p>Added insert_id for odbc_mssql.
<p>Modified postgresql UpdateBlobFile() because it did not work in safe mode.
<p>Now connection object is passed to raiseErrorFn as last parameter. Needed by
StartTrans().
<p>Added StartTrans() and CompleteTrans(). It is recommended that you do not modify
transOff, but use the above functions.
<p>oci8po now obeys ADODB_ASSOC_CASE settings.
<p>Added virtualized error codes, using PEAR DB equivalents. Requires you to manually
include adodb-error.inc.php yourself, with MetaError() and MetaErrorMsg($errno).
<p>GetRowAssoc for mysql and pgsql were flawed. Fix by Ross Smith.
<p>Added to datadict types I1, I2, I4 and I8. Changed datadict type 'T' to map
to timestamp instead of datetime for postgresql.
<p>Error handling in ExecuteSQLArray(), adodb-datadict.inc.php did not work.
<p>We now auto-quote postgresql connection parameters when building connection
string.
<p>Added session expiry notification.
<p>We now test with odbc mysql - made some changes to odbc recordset constructor.
<p>MetaColumns now special cases access and other databases for odbc.
<p><b>3.31 17 March 2003</b></p>
<p>Added row checking for _fetch in postgres.
<p>Added Interval type to MetaType for postgres.
<p>Remapped postgres driver to call postgres7 driver internally.
<p>Adorecordset_array::getarray() did not return array when nRows >= 0.
<p>Postgresql: at times, no error message returned by pg_result_error() but error
message returned in pg_last_error(). Recoded again.
<p>Interbase blob's now use chunking for updateblob.
<p>Move() did not set EOF correctly. Reported by Jorma T.
<p>We properly support mysql timestamp fields when we are creating mysql tables
using the data-dict interface.
<p>Table regex includes backticks character now.
<p><b>3.30 3 March 2003</b></p>
<p>Added $ADODB_EXTENSION and $ADODB_COMPAT_FETCH constant.
<p>Made blank1stItem configurable using syntax "value:text" in GetMenu/GetMenu2.
Thx to Gabriel Birke.
<p>Previously ADOdb differed from the Microsoft standard because it did not define
what to set $this->fields when EOF was reached. Now at EOF, ADOdb sets $this->fields
to false for all databases, which is consist with Microsoft's implementation.
Postgresql and mysql have always worked this way (in 3.11 and earlier). If you
are experiencing compatibility problems (and you are not using postgresql nor
mysql) on upgrading to 3.30, try setting the global variables $ADODB_COUNTRECS
= true (which is the default) and $ADODB_FETCH_COMPAT = true (this is a new
global variable).
<p>We now check both pg_result_error and pg_last_error as sometimes pg_result_error
does not display anything. Iman Mayes
<p> We no longer check for magic quotes gpc in Quote().
<p> Misc fixes for table creation in adodb-datadict.inc.php. Thx to iamsure.
<p> Time calculations use adodb_time library for all negative timestamps due to
problems in Red Hat 7.3 or later. Formerly, only did this for Windows.
<p> In mssqlpo, we now check if $sql in _query is a string before we change ||
to +. This is to support prepared stmts.
<p> Move() and MoveLast() internals changed to support to support EOF and $this->fields
change.
<p> Added ADODB_FETCH_BOTH support to mssql. Thx to Angel Fradejas afradejas#mediafusion.es
<p> We now check if link resource exists before we run mysql_escape_string in
qstr().
<p> Before we flock in csv code, we check that it is not a http url.
<p><b>3.20 17 Feb 2003</b></p>
<p>Added new Data Dictionary classes for creating tables and indexes. Warning
- this is very much alpha quality code. The API can still change. See adodb/tests/test-datadict.php
for more info.
<p>We now ignore $ADODB_COUNTRECS for mysql, because PHP truncates incomplete
recordsets when mysql_unbuffered_query() is called a second time.
<p>Now postgresql works correctly when $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false.
<p>Changed _adodb_getcount to properly support SELECT DISTINCT.
<p>Discovered that $ADODB_COUNTRECS=true has some problems with prepared queries
- suspect PHP bug.
<p>Now GetOne and GetRow run in $ADODB_COUNTRECS=false mode for better performance.
<p>Added support for mysql_real_escape_string() and pg_escape_string() in qstr().
<p>Added an intermediate variable for mysql _fetch() and MoveNext() to store fields,
to prevent overwriting field array with boolean when mysql_fetch_array() returns
false.
<p>Made arrays for getinsertsql and getupdatesql case-insensitive. Suggested by
Tim Uckun" tim#diligence.com
<p><b>3.11 11 Feb 2003</b></p>
<p>Added check for ADODB_NEVER_PERSIST constant in PConnect(). If defined, then
PConnect() will actually call non-persistent Connect().
<p>Modified interbase to properly work with Prepare().
<p>Added $this->ibase_timefmt to allow you to change the date and time format.
<p>Added support for $input_array parameter in CacheFlush().
<p>Added experimental support for dbx, which was then removed when i found that
it was slower than using native calls.
<p>Added MetaPrimaryKeys for mssql and ibase/firebird.
<p>Added new $trim parameter to GetCol and CacheGetCol
<p>Uses updated adodb-time.inc.php 0.06.
<p><b>3.10 27 Jan 2003</b>
<p>Added adodb_date(), adodb_getdate(), adodb_mktime() and adodb-time.inc.php.
<p>For interbase, added code to handle unlimited number of bind parameters. From
Daniel Hasan daniel#hasan.cl.
<p>Added BlobDecode and UpdateBlob for informix. Thx to Fernando Ortiz.
<p>Added constant ADODB_WINDOWS. If defined, means that running on Windows.
<p>Added constant ADODB_PHPVER which stores php version as a hex num. Removed
$ADODB_PHPVER variable.
<p>Felho Bacsi reported a minor white-space regular expression problem in GetInsertSQL.
<p>Modified ADO to use variant to store _affectedRows
<p>Changed ibase to use base class Replace(). Modified base class Replace() to
support ibase.
<p>Changed odbc to auto-detect when 0 records returned is wrong due to bad odbc

<p>Fixed warning message in oci8 driver with $persist variable when using PConnect.
<p><b>2.90 11 Dec 2002</b>
<p>Mssql and mssqlpo and oci8po now support ADODB_ASSOC_CASE.
<p>Now MetaType() can accept a field object as the first parameter.
<p>New $arr = $db-&gt;ServerInfo( ) function. Returns $arr['description'] which

<p>PostgreSQL and MSSQL speedups for insert/updates.
<p> Implemented new SetFetchMode() that removes the need to use $ADODB_FETCH_MODE.
Each connection has independant fetchMode.
<p>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE now defaults to 2, use native defaults. This is because we
would break backward compat for too many applications otherwise.

<p>Sybase SelectLimit not reliable because 'set rowcount' not cached - fixed.
<p>Moved ADOConnection to adodb-connection.inc.php and ADORecordSet to adodb-recordset.inc.php.
This allows us to use doxygen to generate documentation. Doxygen doesn't like
the classes in the main adodb.inc.php file for some mysterious reason.
<p><b>2.50, 14 Nov 2002</b>
<p>Added transOff and transCnt properties for disabling (transOff = true) and
tracking transaction status (transCnt>0).

<p>Added white-space check to QA.
<p>Changed unixtimestamp to support fractional seconds (we always round down/floor
the seconds). Thanks to beezly#beezly.org.uk.
<p>Now you can set the trigger_error type your own user-defined type in adodb-errorhandler.inc.php.
Suggested by Claudio Bustos clbustos#entelchile.net.
<p>Added recordset filters with rsfilter.inc.php.
<p>$conn->_rs2rs does not create a new recordset when it detects it is of type
array. Some trickery there as there seems to be a bug in Zend Engine
<p>Added render_pagelinks to adodb-pager.inc.php. Code by "Pablo Costa" pablo#cbsp.com.br.
<p>MetaType() speedup in adodb.inc.php by using hashing instead of switch. Best
performance if constant arrays are supported, as they are in PHP5.
<p>adodb-session.php now updates only the expiry date if the crc32 check indicates
that the data has not been modified.
<p><b>2.31 20 Aug 2002</b></p>
<p>Made changes to pivottable.inc.php due to daniel lucuzaeu's suggestions (we sum the pivottable column if desired).
<p>Fixed ErrorNo() in postgres so it does not depend on _errorMsg property.
<p>Robert Tuttle added support for oracle cursors. See ExecuteCursor().
<p>Fixed Replace() so it works with mysql when updating record where data has not changed. Reported by
Cal Evans (cal#calevans.com).
<p><b>2.30 1 Aug 2002</b></p>
<p>Added pivottable.inc.php. Thanks to daniel.lucazeau#ajornet.com for the original
concept.
<p>Added ADOConnection::outp($msg,$newline) to output error and debugging messages. Now
you can override this using the ADODB_OUTP constant and use your own output handler.
<p>Changed == to === for 'null' comparison. Reported by ericquil#yahoo.com
<p>Fixed mssql SelectLimit( ) bug when distinct used.
<p><b>2.30 1 Aug 2002</b></p>
<p>New GetCol() and CacheGetCol() from ross#bnw.com that returns the first field as a 1 dim array.
<p>We have an empty recordset, but RecordCount() could return -1. Fixed. Reported by "Jonathan Polansky" jonathan#polansky.com.
<p>We now check for session variable changes using strlen($sessval).crc32($sessval).
Formerly we only used crc32().
<p>Informix SelectLimit() problem with $ADODB_COUNTRECS fixed.
<p>Fixed informix SELECT FIRST x DISTINCT, and not SELECT DISTINCT FIRST x - reported by F Riosa
<p>Now default adodb error handlers ignores error if @ used.
<p>If you set $conn->autoRollback=true, we auto-rollback persistent connections for odbc, mysql, oci8, mssql.
Default for autoRollback is false. No need to do so for postgres.
As interbase requires a transaction id (what a flawed api), we don't do it for interbase.
<p>Changed PageExecute() to use non-greedy preg_match when searching for "FROM" keyword.
<p><b>2.20 9 July 2002</b></p>
<p>Added CacheGetOne($secs2cache,$sql), CacheGetRow($secs2cache,$sql), CacheGetAll($secs2cache,$sql).
<p>Added $conn->OffsetDate($dayFraction,$date=false) to generate sql that calcs
date offsets. Useful for scheduling appointments.
<p>Added connection properties: leftOuter, rightOuter that hold left and right
outer join operators.
<p>Added connection property: ansiOuter to indicate whether ansi outer joins supported.
<p>New driver <i>mssqlpo</i>, the portable mssql driver, which converts string
concat operator from || to +.
<p>Fixed ms access bug - SelectLimit() did not support ties - fixed.
<p>Karsten Kraus (Karsten.Kraus#web.de), contributed error-handling code to ADONewConnection.
Unfortunately due to backward compat problems, had to rollback most of the changes.
<p>Added new parameter to GetAssoc() to allow returning an array of key-value pairs,
ignoring any additional columns in the recordset. Off by default.
<p>Corrected mssql $conn->sysDate to return only date using convert().
<p>CacheExecute() improved debugging output.
<p>Changed rs2html() so newlines are converted to BR tags. Also optimized rs2html() based
on feedback by "Jerry Workman" jerry#mtncad.com.
<p>Added support for Replace() with Interbase, using DELETE and INSERT.
<p>Some minor optimizations (mostly removing & references when passing arrays).
<p>Changed GenID() to allows id's larger than the size of an integer.
<p>Added force_session property to oci8 for better updateblob() support.
<p>Fixed PageExecute() which did not work properly with sql containing GROUP BY.
<p><b>2.12 12 June 2002</b></p>
<p>Added toexport.inc.php to export recordsets in CSV and tab-delimited format.
<p>CachePageExecute() does not work - fixed - thx John Huong.
<p>Interbase aliases not set properly in FetchField() - fixed. Thx Stefan Goethals.
<p>Added cache property to adodb pager class. The number of secs to cache recordsets.
<p>SQL rewriting bug in pageexecute() due to skipping of newlines due to missing /s modifier. Fixed.
<p>Max size of cached recordset due to a bug was 256000 bytes. Fixed.
<p>Speedup of 1st invocation of CacheExecute() by tuning code.
<p>We compare $rewritesql with $sql in pageexecute code in case of rewrite failure.
<p><b>2.11 7 June 2002</b></p>
<p>Fixed PageExecute() rewrite sql problem - COUNT(*) and ORDER BY don't go together with
mssql, access and postgres. Thx to Alexander Zhukov alex#unipack.ru
<p>DB2 support for CHARACTER type added - thx John Huong huongch#bigfoot.com
<p>For ado, $argProvider not properly checked. Fixed - kalimero#ngi.it
<p>Added $conn->Replace() function for update with automatic insert if the record does not exist.
Supported by all databases except interbase.
<p><b>2.10 4 June 2002</b></p>
<p>Added uniqueSort property to indicate mssql ORDER BY cols must be unique.
<p>Optimized session handler by crc32 the data. We only write if session data has changed.
<p>adodb_sess_read in adodb-session.php now returns ''correctly - thanks to Jorma Tuomainen, webmaster#wizactive.com
<p>Mssql driver did not throw EXECUTE errors correctly because ErrorMsg() and ErrorNo() called in wrong order.
Pointed out by Alexios Fakos. Fixed.
<p>Changed ado to use client cursors. This fixes BeginTran() problems with ado.
<p>Added handling of timestamp type in ado.
<p>Added to ado_mssql support for insert_id() and affected_rows().
<p>Added support for mssql.datetimeconvert=0, available since php 4.2.0.
<p>Made UnixDate() less strict, so that the time is ignored if present.
<p>Changed quote() so that it checks for magic_quotes_gpc.
<p>Changed maxblobsize for odbc to default to 64000.
<p><b>2.00 13 May 2002</b></p>
<p>Added drivers <i>informix72</i> for pre-7.3 versions, and <i>oci805</i> for
oracle 8.0.5, and postgres64 for postgresql 6.4 and earlier. The postgres and postgres7 drivers
are now identical.
<p>Interbase now partially supports ADODB_FETCH_BOTH, by defaulting to ASSOC mode.
<p>Proper support for blobs in mssql. Also revised blob support code
is base class. Now UpdateBlobFile() calls UpdateBlob() for consistency.
<p>Added support for changed odbc_fetch_into api in php 4.2.0
with $conn-&gt;_has_stupid_odbc_fetch_api_change.
<p>Fixed spelling of tablock locking hint in GenID( ) for mssql.
<p>Added RowLock( ) to several databases, including oci8, informix, sybase, etc.
Fixed where error in mssql RowLock().
<p>Added sysDate and sysTimeStamp properties to most database drivers. These are the sql
functions/constants for that database that return the current date and current timestamp, and
are useful for portable inserts and updates.
<p>Support for RecordCount() caused date handling in sybase and mssql to break.
Fixed, thanks to Toni Tunkkari, by creating derived classes for ADORecordSet_array for
both databases. Generalized using arrayClass property. Also to support RecordCount(),
changed metatype handling for ado drivers. Now the type returned in FetchField
is no longer a number, but the 1-char data type returned by MetaType.
At the same time, fixed a lot of date handling. Now mssql support dmy and mdy date formats.
Also speedups in sybase and mssql with preg_match and ^ in date/timestamp handling.
Added support in sybase and mssql for 24 hour clock in timestamps (no AM/PM).
<p>Extensive revisions to informix driver - thanks to Samuel CARRIERE samuel_carriere#hotmail.com
<p>Added $ok parameter to CommitTrans($ok) for easy rollbacks.
<p>Fixed odbc MetaColumns and MetaTables to save and restore $ADODB_FETCH_MODE.

<p>Fixed regex for GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL() to support more legal character combinations.
 
<p><b>1.99 21 April 2002</b></p>
<p>Added emulated RecordCount() to all database drivers if $ADODB_COUNTRECS = true
(which it is by default). Inspired by Cristiano Duarte (cunha17#uol.com.br).
<p>Unified stored procedure support for mssql and oci8. Parameter() and PrepareSP()
functions implemented.
<p>Added support for SELECT FIRST in informix, modified hasTop property to support
this.
<p>Changed csv driver to handle updates/deletes/inserts properly (when Execute() returns true).
Bind params also work now, and raiseErrorFn with csv driver. Added csv driver to QA process.
<p>Better error checking in oci8 UpdateBlob() and UpdateBlobFile().
<p>Added TIME type to MySQL - patch by Manfred h9125297#zechine.wu-wien.ac.at
<p>Prepare/Execute implemented for Interbase/Firebird
<p>Changed some regular expressions to be anchored by /^ $/ for speed.
<p>Added UnixTimeStamp() and UnixDate() to ADOConnection(). Now these functions
are in both ADOConnection and ADORecordSet classes.
<p>Empty recordsets were not cached - fixed.
<p>Thanks to Gaetano Giunta (g.giunta#libero.it) for the oci8 code review. We
didn't agree on everything, but i hoped we agreed to disagree!
<p><b>1.90 6 April 2002</b></p>
<p>Now all database drivers support fetch modes ADODB_FETCH_NUM and ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC, though
still not fully tested. Eg. Frontbase, Sybase, Informix.
<p>NextRecordSet() support for mssql. Contributed by "Sven Axelsson" sven.axelsson#bokochwebb.se
<p>Added blob support for SQL Anywhere. Contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de
<p>Fixed some security loopholes in server.php. Server.php also supports fetch mode.
<p>Generalized GenID() to support odbc and mssql drivers. Mssql no longer generates GUID's.
<p>Experimental RowLock($table,$where) for mssql.
<p>Properly implemented Prepare() in oci8 and ODBC.
<p>Added Bind() support to oci8 to support Prepare().
<p>Improved error handler. Catches CacheExecute() and GenID() errors now.
<p>Now if you are running php from the command line, debugging messages do not output html formating.
Not 100% complete, but getting there.
<p><b>1.81 22 March 2002</b></p>
<p>Restored default $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT for backward compatibility.
<p>SelectLimit for oci8 improved - Our FIRST_ROWS optimization now does not overwrite existing hint.
<p>New Sybase SQL Anywhere driver. Contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de
<p><b>1.80 15 March 2002</b></p>
<p>Redesigned directory structure of ADOdb files. Added new driver directory where
all database drivers reside.
<p>Changed caching algorithm to create subdirectories. Now we scale better.
<p>Informix driver now supports insert_id(). Contribution by "Andrea Pinnisi" pinnisi#sysnet.it
<p>Added experimental ISO date and FetchField support for informix.
<p>Fixed a quoting bug in Execute() with bind parameters, causing problems with blobs.
<p>Mssql driver speedup by 10-15%.
<p>Now in CacheExecute($secs2cache,$sql,...), $secs2cache is optional. If missing, it will
take the value defined in $connection->cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds). Note that
CacheSelectLimit(), the secs2cache is still compulsory - sigh.
<p>Sybase SQL Anywhere driver (using ODBC) contributed by Wade Johnson wade#wadejohnson.de
<p><b>1.72 8 March 2002</b></p>

<p>MetaDatabases() for postgres contributed by Phil pamelant#nerim.net
<p>Mitchell T. Young (mitch#youngfamily.org) contributed informix driver.
<p>Fixed rs2html() problem. I cannot reproduce, so probably a problem with pre PHP 4.1.0 versions,
when supporting new ADODB_FETCH_MODEs.
<p>Mattia Rossi (mattia#technologist.com) contributed BlobDecode() and UpdateBlobFile() for postgresql
using the postgres specific pg_lo_import()/pg_lo_open() - i don't use them but hopefully others will
find this useful. See <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=1262">this posting</a>
for an example of usage.
<p>Added UpdateBlobFile() for uploading files to a database.
<p>Made UpdateBlob() compatible with oci8po driver.
<p>Added noNullStrings support to oci8 driver. Oracle changes all ' ' strings to nulls,
so you need to set strings to ' ' to prevent the nullifying of strings. $conn->noNullStrings = true;
will do this for you automatically. This is useful when you define a char column as NOT NULL.
<p>Fixed UnixTimeStamp() bug - wasn't setting minutes and seconds properly. Patch from Agusti Fita i Borrell agusti#anglatecnic.com.
<p>Toni Tunkkari added patch for sybase dates. Problem with spaces in day part of date fixed.
<p><b>1.71 18 Jan 2002</b></p>

<p>CSV driver fix for selectlimit, from Andreas - akaiser#vocote.de.
<P>Gam3r spotted that a global variable was undefined in the session handler.
<p>Mssql date regex had error. Fixed - reported by Minh Hoang vb_user#yahoo.com.
<p>DBTimeStamp() and DBDate() now accept iso dates and unix timestamps. This means
that the PostgreSQL handling of dates in GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() can
be removed. Also if these functions are passed '' or null or false, we return a SQL null.
<p>GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() now accept a new parameter, $magicq to
indicate whether quotes should be inserted based on magic quote settings - suggested by
dj#4ict.com.
<p>Reformated docs slightly based on suggestions by Chris Small.
<p><b>1.65 28 Dec 2001</b></p>

<p><b>1.63 13 Dec 2001</b></p>
Absolute to the adodb-lib.inc.php file not set properly. Fixed.<p>
 
<p><b>1.62 11 Dec 2001</b></p>
<p>Major speedup of ADOdb for low-end web sites by reducing the php code loading and compiling
cycle. We conditionally compile not so common functions.
Moved csv code to adodb-csvlib.inc.php to reduce adodb.inc.php parsing. This file
is loaded only when the csv/proxy driver is used, or CacheExecute() is run.
Also moved PageExecute(), GetSelectSQL() and GetUpdateSQL() core code to adodb-lib.inc.php.
This reduced the 70K main adodb.inc.php file to 55K, and since at least 20K of the file
is comments, we have reduced 50K of code in adodb.inc.php to 35K. There
should be 35% reduction in memory and thus 35% speedup in compiling the php code for the
main adodb.inc.php file.
<p>Highly tuned SelectLimit() for oci8 for massive speed improvements on large files.
Selecting 20 rows starting from the 20,000th row of a table is now 7 times faster.
Thx to Tomas V V Cox.
<p>Allow . and # in table definitions in GetInsertSQL and GetUpdateSQL.
See ADODB_TABLE_REGEX constant. Thx to Ari Kuorikoski.
<p>Added ADODB_PREFETCH_ROWS constant, defaulting to 10. This determines the number
of records to prefetch in a SELECT statement. Only used by oci8.</p>
<p>Added high portability Oracle class called oci8po. This uses ? for bind variables, and
lower cases column names.</p>
<p>Now all database drivers support $ADODB_FETCH_MODE, including interbase, ado, and odbc:
ADODB_FETCH_NUM and ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. ADODB_FETCH_BOTH is not fully implemented for all
database drivers.
<p><b>1.61 Nov 2001</b></p>
<p>Added PO_RecordCount() and PO_Insert_ID(). PO stands for portable. Pablo Roca
[pabloroca#mvps.org]</p>
<p>GenID now returns 0 if not available. Safer is that you should check $conn->hasGenID
for availability.</p>
<p>M'soft ADO we now correctly close recordset in _close() peterd#telephonetics.co.uk</p>
<p>MSSQL now supports GenID(). It generates a 16-byte GUID from mssql newid()
function.</p>
<p>Changed ereg_replace to preg_replace in SelectLimit. This is a fix for mssql.
Ereg doesn't support t or n! Reported by marino Carlos xaplo#postnuke-espanol.org</p>
<p>Added $recordset->connection. This is the ADOConnection object for the recordset.
Works with cached and normal recordsets. Surprisingly, this had no affect on performance!</p>
<p><b>1.54 15 Nov 2001</b></p>
Fixed some more bugs in PageExecute(). I am getting sick of bug in this and will have to
reconsider my QA here. The main issue is that I don't use PageExecute() and
to check whether it is working requires a visual inspection of the html generated currently.
It is possible to write a test script but it would be quite complicated :(
<p> More speedups of SelectLimit() for DB2, Oci8, access, vfp, mssql.
<p>
 
<p><b>1.53 7 Nov 2001</b></p>

<p>Oci8 SelectLimit() speedup by using OCIFetch().
<p>Oci8 was mistakenly reporting errors when $db->debug = true.
<p>If a connection failed with ODBC, it was not correctly reported - fixed.
<p>_connectionID was inited to -1, changed to false.
<p>Added $rs->FetchRow(), to simplify API, ala PEAR DB
<p>Added PEAR DB compat mode, which is still faster than PEAR! See adodb-pear.inc.php.
<p>Removed postgres pconnect debugging statement.
<p><b>1.50 31 Oct 2001</b></p>
<p>ADOdbConnection renamed to ADOConnection, and ADOdbFieldObject to ADOFieldObject.
<p>PageExecute() now checks for empty $rs correctly, and the errors in the docs on this subject have been fixed.
<p>odbc_error() does not return 6 digit error correctly at times. Implemented workaround.
<p>Added ADORecordSet_empty class. This will speedup INSERTS/DELETES/UPDATES because the return
object created is much smaller.
<p>Added Prepare() to odbc, and oci8 (but doesn't work properly for oci8 still).
<p>Made pgsql a synonym for postgre7, and changed SELECT LIMIT to use OFFSET for compat with
postgres 7.2.
<p>Revised adodb-cryptsession.php thanks to Ari.
<p>Set resources to false on _close, to force freeing of resources.
<p>Added adodb-errorhandler.inc.php, adodb-errorpear.inc.php and raiseErrorFn on Freek's urging.
<p>GetRowAssoc($toUpper=true): $toUpper added as default.
<p>Errors when connecting to a database were not captured formerly. Now we do it correctly.

<p>Added UpdateBlob support for interbase (untested).</p>
<p>Added encrypted sessions (see adodb-cryptsession.php). By Ari Kuorikoski &lt;kuoriari#finebyte.com></p>
<p><b>1.31 21 August 2001</b></p>
<p>Many bug fixes thanks to "GaM3R (Cameron)" &lt;gamr#outworld.cx>. Some session changes due to Gam3r.
<p>Fixed qstr() to quote also.
<p>rs2html() now pretty printed.
<p>Jonathan Younger jyounger#unilab.com contributed the great idea GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL() which
generates SQL to update and insert into a table from a recordset. Modify the recordset fields
array, then can this function to generate the SQL (the SQL is not executed).
<p>"Nicola Fankhauser" &lt;nicola.fankhauser#couniq.com> found some bugs in date handling for mssql.</p>
<p>Added minimal Oracle support for LOBs. Still under development.</p>
Added $ADODB_FETCH_MODE so you can control whether recordsets return arrays which are
numeric, associative or both. This is a global variable you set. Currently only MySQL, Oci8, Postgres
drivers support this.
<p>PostgreSQL properly closes recordsets now. Reported by several people.
<p>
Added UpdateBlob() for Oracle. A hack to make it easier to save blobs.
<p>
Oracle timestamps did not display properly. Fixed.
<p><b>1.20 6 June 2001</b></p>
<p>Now Oracle can connect using tnsnames.ora or server and service name</p>
<p>Extensive Oci8 speed optimizations.
Oci8 code revised to support variable binding, and /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint.</p>
<p>Worked around some 4.0.6 bugs in odbc_fetch_into().</p>
<p>Paolo S. Asioli paolo.asioli#libero.it suggested GetRowAssoc().</p>
<p>Escape quotes for oracle wrongly set to '. Now '' is used.</p>
<p>Variable binding now works in ODBC also.</p>
<p>Jumped to version 1.20 because I don't like 13 :-)</p>
<p><b>1.12 6 June 2001</b></p>
<p>Changed $ADODB_DIR to ADODB_DIR constant to plug a security loophole.</p>
<p>Changed _close() to close persistent connections also. Prevents connection leaks.</p>
<p>Major revision of oracle and oci8 drivers.
Added OCI_RETURN_NULLS and OCI_RETURN_LOBS to OCIFetchInto(). BLOB, CLOB and VARCHAR2 recognition
in MetaType() improved. MetaColumns() returns columns in correct sort order.</p>
<p>Interbase timestamp input format was wrong. Fixed.</p>
<p><b>1.11 20 May 2001</b></p>
<p>Improved file locking for Windows.</p>

<p>FetchNextObject() did not work with only 1 record returned. Fixed bug reported by $tim#orotech.net</p>
<p>Fixed mysql field max_length problem. Fix suggested by Jim Nicholson (jnich#att.com)</p>
<p><b>1.00 16 April 2001</b></p>
<p>Given some brilliant suggestions on how to simplify ADOdb by akul. You no longer need to
setup $ADODB_DIR yourself, and ADOLoadCode() is automatically called by ADONewConnection(),
simplifying the startup code.</p>
<p>FetchNextObject() added. Suggested by Jakub Marecek. This makes FetchObject() obsolete, as
this is more flexible and powerful.</p>
<p>Misc fixes to SelectLimit() to support Access (top must follow distinct) and Fields()
in the array recordset. From Reinhard Balling.</p>
<p><b>0.96 27 Mar 2001</b></p>
<p>ADOConnection Close() did not return a value correctly. Thanks to akul#otamedia.com.</p>
<p>When the horrible magic_quotes is enabled, back-slash () is changed to double-backslash (\).
This doesn't make sense for Microsoft/Sybase databases. We fix this in qstr().</p>
<p>Fixed Sybase date problem in UnixDate() thanks to Toni Tunkkari. Also fixed MSSQL problem
in UnixDate() - thanks to milhouse31#hotmail.com.</p>

<p>Added new metatype, X for TeXt. Formerly, metatype B for Blob also included
text fields. Now 'B' is for binary/image data. 'X' for textual data.</p>
<p>Fixed $this->GetArray() in GetRows().</p>
<p>Oracle and OCI8: 1st parameter is always blank -- now warns if it is filled.</p>
<p>Now <i>hasLimit</i> and <i>hasTop</i> added to indicate whether
SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 10 or SELECT TOP 10 * FROM TABLE are supported.</p>

<p>Updated 18 Sep 2003. Added Portable Native SQL section.
<p>
 
If you are writing an application that is used in multiple environments and
operating systems, you need to plan to support multiple databases. This article
is based on my experiences with multiple database systems, stretching from 4th
Dimension in my Mac days, to the databases I currently use, which are: Oracle,
FoxPro, Access, MS SQL Server and MySQL. Although most of the advice here applies
to using SQL with Perl, Python and other programming languages, I will focus on PHP and how
the <a href="http://adodb.sourceforge.net/">ADOdb</a> database abstraction library
offers some solutions.<p></p>
<p>Most database vendors practice product lock-in. The best or fastest way to
do things is often implemented using proprietary extensions to SQL. This makes
it extremely hard to write portable SQL code that performs well under all conditions.
When the first ANSI committee got together in 1984 to standardize SQL, the database
vendors had such different implementations that they could only agree on the
core functionality of SQL. Many important application specific requirements
were not standardized, and after so many years since the ANSI effort began,
it looks as if much useful database functionality will never be standardized.
Even though ANSI-92 SQL has codified much more, we still have to implement portability
at the application level.</p>
<h3><b>Selects</b></h3>
<p>The SELECT statement has been standardized to a great degree. Nearly every
database supports the following:</p>
<p>SELECT [cols] FROM [tables]<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;[WHERE conditions]<br>
&nbsp; [GROUP BY cols]<br>
&nbsp; [HAVING conditions] <br>
&nbsp; [ORDER BY cols]</p>
<p>But so many useful techniques can only be implemented by using proprietary
extensions. For example, when writing SQL to retrieve the first 10 rows for
paging, you could write...</p>
<table width="80%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><b>Database</b></td>
<td><b>SQL Syntax</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>DB2</td>
<td>select * from table fetch first 10 rows only</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Informix</td>
<td>select first 10 * from table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Microsoft SQL Server and Access</td>
<td>select top 10 * from table</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>MySQL and PostgreSQL</td>
<td>select * from table limit 10</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Oracle 8i</td>
<td>select * from (select * from table) where rownum &lt;= 10</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>This feature of getting a subset of data is so useful that in the PHP class
library ADOdb, we have a SelectLimit( ) function that allows you to hide the
implementation details within a function that will rewrite your SQL for you:</p>
<pre>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('select * from table', 10);
</pre>
<p><b>Selects: Fetch Modes</b></p>
<p>PHP allows you to retrieve database records as arrays. You can choose to have
the arrays indexed by field name or number. However different low-level PHP
database drivers are inconsistent in their indexing efforts. ADOdb allows you
to determine your prefered mode. You set this by setting the variable $ADODB_FETCH_MODE
to either of the constants ADODB_FETCH_NUM (for numeric indexes) or ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC
(using field names as an associative index).</p>
<p>The default behaviour of ADOdb varies depending on the database you are using.
For consistency, set the fetch mode to either ADODB_FETCH_NUM (for speed) or
ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC (for convenience) at the beginning of your code. </p>
<p><b>Selects: Counting Records</b></p>
<p>Another problem with SELECTs is that some databases do not return the number
of rows retrieved from a select statement. This is because the highest performance
databases will return records to you even before the last record has been found.
</p>
<p>In ADOdb, RecordCount( ) returns the number of rows returned, or will emulate
it by buffering the rows and returning the count after all rows have been returned.
This can be disabled for performance reasons when retrieving large recordsets
by setting the global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false. This variable is checked
every time a query is executed, so you can selectively choose which recordsets
to count.</p>
<p>If you prefer to set $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false, ADOdb still has the PO_RecordCount(
) function. This will return the number of rows, or if it is not found, it will
return an estimate using SELECT COUNT(*):</p>
<pre>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute(&quot;select * from table where state=$state&quot;);
$numrows = $rs-&gt;PO_RecordCount('table', &quot;state=$state&quot;);</pre>
<p><b>Selects: Locking</b> </p>
<p>SELECT statements are commonly used to implement row-level locking of tables.
Other databases such as Oracle, Interbase, PostgreSQL and MySQL with InnoDB
do not require row-level locking because they use versioning to display data
consistent with a specific point in time.</p>
<p>Currently, I recommend encapsulating the row-level locking in a separate function,
such as RowLock($table, $where):</p>
<pre>$connection-&gt;BeginTrans( );
$connection-&gt;RowLock($table, $where); </pre>
<pre><font color=green># some operation</font></pre>
<pre>if ($ok) $connection-&gt;CommitTrans( );
else $connection-&gt;RollbackTrans( );
</pre>
<p><b>Selects: Outer Joins</b></p>
<p>Not all databases support outer joins. Furthermore the syntax for outer joins
differs dramatically between database vendors. One portable (and possibly slower)
method of implementing outer joins is using UNION.</p>
<p>For example, an ANSI-92 left outer join between two tables t1 and t2 could
look like:</p>
<pre>SELECT t1.col1, t1.col2, t2.cola <br> FROM t1 <i>LEFT JOIN</i> t2 ON t1.col = t2.col</pre>
<p>This can be emulated using:</p>
<pre>SELECT t1.col1, t1.col2, t2.cola FROM t1, t2 <br> WHERE t1.col = t2.col
UNION ALL
SELECT col1, col2, null FROM t1 <br> WHERE t1.col not in (select distinct col from t2)
</pre>
<p>Since ADOdb 2.13, we provide some hints in the connection object as to legal
join variations. This is still incomplete and sometimes depends on the database
version you are using, but is useful as a general guideline:</p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$conn-&gt;leftOuter</font>: holds the
operator used for left outer joins (eg. '*='), or false if not known or not
available.<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$conn-&gt;rightOuter</font>: holds the
operator used for right outer joins (eg '=*'), or false if not known or not
available.<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">$conn-&gt;ansiOuter</font>: boolean
that if true means that ANSI-92 style outer joins are supported, or false if
not known.</p>
<h3><b>Inserts</b> </h3>
<p>When you create records, you need to generate unique id's for each record.
There are two common techniques: (1) auto-incrementing columns and (2) sequences.
</p>
<p>Auto-incrementing columns are supported by MySQL, Sybase and Microsoft Access
and SQL Server. However most other databases do not support this feature. So
for portability, you have little choice but to use sequences. Sequences are
special functions that return a unique incrementing number every time you call
it, suitable to be used as database keys. In ADOdb, we use the GenID( ) function.
It has takes a parameter, the sequence name. Different tables can have different
sequences. </p>
<pre>$id = $connection-&gt;GenID('sequence_name');<br>$connection-&gt;Execute(&quot;insert into table (id, firstname, lastname) <br> values ($id, $firstname, $lastname)&quot;);</pre>
<p>For databases that do not support sequences natively, ADOdb emulates sequences
by creating a table for every sequence.</p>
<h3><b>Binding</b></h3>
<p>Binding variables in an SQL statement is another tricky feature. Binding is
useful because it allows pre-compilation of SQL. When inserting multiple records
into a database in a loop, binding can offer a 50% (or greater) speedup. However
many databases such as Access and MySQL do not support binding natively and
there is some overhead in emulating binding. Furthermore, different databases
(specificly Oracle!) implement binding differently. My recommendation is to
use binding if your database queries are too slow, but make sure you are using
a database that supports it like Oracle. </p>
<p>ADOdb supports portable Prepare/Execute with:</p>
<pre>$stmt = $db-&gt;Prepare('select * from customers where custid=? and state=?');
$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($stmt, array($id,'New York'));</pre>
<p>Oracle uses named bind placeholders, not "?", so to support portable binding, we have Param() that generates
the correct placeholder (available since ADOdb 3.92):
<pre><font color="#000000">$sql = <font color="#993300">'insert into table (col1,col2) values ('</font>.$DB-&gt;Param('a').<font color="#993300">','</font>.$DB-&gt;Param('b').<font color="#993300">')'</font>;
<font color="#006600"># generates 'insert into table (col1,col2) values (?,?)'
# or 'insert into table (col1,col2) values (:a,:b)</font>'
$stmt = $DB-&gt;Prepare($sql);
$stmt = $DB-&gt;Execute($stmt,array('one','two'));
</font></pre>
<a name="native"></a>
<h2>Portable Native SQL</h2>
<p>ADOdb provides the following functions for portably generating SQL functions
as strings to be merged into your SQL statements (some are only available since

<h2>DDL and Tuning</h2>
There are database design tools such as ERWin or Dezign that allow you to generate data definition language commands such as ALTER TABLE or CREATE INDEX from Entity-Relationship diagrams.
<p>
However if you prefer to use a PHP-based table creation scheme, adodb provides you with this feature. Here is the code to generate the SQL to create a table with:
<ol>
<li> Auto-increment primary key 'ID', </li>
<li>The person's 'NAME' VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL and defaults to '', </li>
<li>The date and time of record creation 'CREATED', </li>
<li> The person's 'AGE', defaulting to 0, type NUMERIC(16). </li>
</ol>
<p>
Also create a compound index consisting of 'NAME' and 'AGE':
<pre>
$datadict = <strong>NewDataDictionary</strong>($connection);
$flds = "
<font color="#660000"> ID I AUTOINCREMENT PRIMARY,
NAME C(32) DEFAULT '' NOTNULL,
CREATED T DEFTIMESTAMP,
AGE N(16) DEFAULT 0</font>
";
$sql1 = $datadict-><strong>CreateTableSQL</strong>('tabname', $flds);
$sql2 = $datadict-><strong>CreateIndexSQL</strong>('idx_name_age', 'tabname', 'NAME,AGE');
</pre>
 
<h3>Data Types</h3>
<p>Stick to a few data types that are available in most databases. Char, varchar
and numeric/number are supported by most databases. Most other data types (including
integer, boolean and float) cannot be relied on being available. I recommend
using char(1) or number(1) to hold booleans. </p>
<p>Different databases have different ways of representing dates and timestamps/datetime.
ADOdb attempts to display all dates in ISO (YYYY-MM-DD) format. ADOdb also provides
DBDate( ) and DBTimeStamp( ) to convert dates to formats that are acceptable
to that database. Both functions accept Unix integer timestamps and date strings
in ISO format.</p>
<pre>$date1 = $connection-&gt;DBDate(time( ));<br>$date2 = $connection-&gt;DBTimeStamp('2002-02-23 13:03:33');</pre>
<p>We also provide functions to convert database dates to Unix timestamps:</p>
<pre>$unixts = $recordset-&gt;UnixDate('#2002-02-30#'); <font color="green"># MS Access date =&gt; unix timestamp</font></pre>
<p>The maximum length of a char/varchar field is also database specific. You can
only assume that field lengths of up to 250 characters are supported. This is
normally impractical for web based forum or content management systems. You
will need to be familiar with how databases handle large objects (LOBs). ADOdb
implements two functions, UpdateBlob( ) and UpdateClob( ) that allow you to
update fields holding Binary Large Objects (eg. pictures) and Character Large
Objects (eg. HTML articles):</p>
<pre><font color=green># for oracle </font>
$conn->Execute('INSERT INTO blobtable (id, blobcol) VALUES (1,empty_blob())');
$conn->UpdateBlob('blobtable','blobcol',$blobvalue,'id=1');
<font color=green># non-oracle databases</font>
$conn->Execute('INSERT INTO blobtable (id, blobcol) VALUES (1, null)');
$conn->UpdateBlob('blobtable','blobcol',$blobvalue,'id=1');
</pre>
<p>Null handling is another area where differences can occur. This is a mine-field,
because 3-value logic is tricky.
<p>In general, I avoid using nulls except for dates and default all my numeric
and character fields to 0 or the empty string. This maintains consistency with
PHP, where empty strings and zero are treated as equivalent, and avoids SQL
ambiguities when you use the ANY and EXISTS operators. However if your database
has significant amounts of missing or unknown data, using nulls might be a good
idea.
<p>
ADOdb also supports a portable <a href=http://phplens.com/adodb/reference.functions.concat.html#ifnull>IfNull</a> function, so you can define what to display
if the field contains a null.
<h3><b>Stored Procedures</b></h3>
<p>Stored procedures are another problem area. Some databases allow recordsets
to be returned in a stored procedure (Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase), and
others only allow output parameters to be returned. Stored procedures sometimes
need to be wrapped in special syntax. For example, Oracle requires such code
to be wrapped in an anonymous block with BEGIN and END. Also internal sql operators
and functions such as +, ||, TRIM( ), SUBSTR( ) or INSTR( ) vary between vendors.
</p>
<p>An example of how to call a stored procedure with 2 parameters and 1 return
value follows:</p>
<pre> switch ($db->databaseType) {
case '<font color="#993300">mssql</font>':
$sql = <font color="#000000"><font color="#993333">'<font color="#993300">SP_RUNSOMETHING</font>'</font></font>; break;
case '<font color="#993300">oci8</font>':
$sql =
<font color="#993300"> </font><font color="#000000"><font color="#993300">&quot;declare RETVAL integer;begin :RETVAL := </font><font color="#000000"><font color="#993333"><font color="#993300">SP_RUNSOMETHING</font></font></font><font color="#993300">(:myid,:group);end;&quot;;
</font> break;</font>
default:
die('<font color="#993300">Unsupported feature</font>');
}
<font color="#000000"><font color="green"> # @RETVAL = SP_RUNSOMETHING @myid,@group</font>
$stmt = $db-&gt;PrepareSP($sql); <br> $db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$id,'<font color="#993300">myid</font>');
$db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$group,'<font color="#993300">group</font>');
<font color="green"># true indicates output parameter<br> </font>$db-&gt;Parameter($stmt,$ret,'<font color="#993300">RETVAL</font>',true);
$db-&gt;Execute($stmt); </font></pre>
<p>As you can see, the ADOdb API is the same for both databases. But the stored
procedure SQL syntax is quite different between databases and is not portable,
so be forewarned! However sometimes you have little choice as some systems only
allow data to be accessed via stored procedures. This is when the ultimate portability
solution might be the only solution: <i>treating portable SQL as a localization
exercise...</i></p>
<h3><b>SQL as a Localization Exercise</b></h3>
<p> In general to provide real portability, you will have to treat SQL coding
as a localization exercise. In PHP, it has become common to define separate
language files for English, Russian, Korean, etc. Similarly, I would suggest
you have separate Sybase, Intebase, MySQL, etc files, and conditionally include
the SQL based on the database. For example, each MySQL SQL statement would be
stored in a separate variable, in a file called 'mysql-lang.inc.php'.</p>
<pre>$sqlGetPassword = '<font color="#993300">select password from users where userid=%s</font>';
$sqlSearchKeyword = &quot;<font color="#993300">SELECT * FROM articles WHERE match (title,body) against (%s</font>)&quot;;</pre>
<p>In our main PHP file:</p>
<pre><font color=green># define which database to load...</font>
<b>$database = '<font color="#993300">mysql</font>';
include_once(&quot;<font color="#993300">$database-lang.inc.php</font>&quot;);</b>
 
$db = &amp;NewADOConnection($database);
$db->PConnect(...) or die('<font color="#993300">Failed to connect to database</font>');
 
<font color=green># search for a keyword $word</font>
$rs = $db-&gt;Execute(sprintf($sqlSearchKeyWord,$db-&gt;qstr($word)));</pre>
<p>Note that we quote the $word variable using the qstr( ) function. This is because
each database quotes strings using different conventions.</p>
<p>
<h3>Final Thoughts</h3>
<p>The best way to ensure that you have portable SQL is to have your data tables designed using
sound principles. Learn the theory of normalization and entity-relationship diagrams and model
your data carefully. Understand how joins and indexes work and how they are used to tune performance.

<h1>Tutorial: Moving from MySQL to ADODB</h1>
 
<pre> You say eether and I say eyether,
You say neether and I say nyther;
Eether, eyether, neether, nyther -
Let's call the whole thing off !
<br>
You like potato and I like po-tah-to,
You like tomato and I like to-mah-to;
Potato, po-tah-to, tomato, to-mah-to -
Let's call the whole thing off !
</pre>
<p>I love this song, especially the version with Louis Armstrong and Ella singing
duet. It is all about how hard it is for two people in love to be compatible
with each other. It's about compromise and finding a common ground, and that's
what this article is all about.
<p>PHP is all about creating dynamic web-sites with the least fuss and the most
fun. To create these websites we need to use databases to retrieve login information,
to splash dynamic news onto the web page and store forum postings. So let's
say we were using the popular MySQL database for this. Your company has done
such a fantastic job that the Web site is more popular than your wildest dreams.
You find that MySQL cannot scale to handle the workload; time to switch databases.
<p> Unfortunately in PHP every database is accessed slightly differently. To connect
to MySQL, you would use <i>mysql_connect()</i>; when you decide to upgrade to
Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, you would use <i>ocilogon() </i>or <i>mssql_connect()</i>
respectively. What is worse is that the parameters you use for the different
connect functions are different also.. One database says po-tato, the other
database says pota-to. Oh-oh.
<h3>Let's NOT call the whole thing off</h3>
<p>A database wrapper library such as ADODB comes in handy when you need to ensure portability. It provides
you with a common API to communicate with any supported database so you don't have to call things off. <p>
 
<p>ADODB stands for Active Data Objects DataBase (sorry computer guys are sometimes
not very original). ADODB currently supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Interbase,
Microsoft SQL Server, Access, FoxPro, Sybase, ODBC and ADO. You can download
ADODB from <a href=http://php.weblogs.com/adodb></a><a href="http://php.weblogs.com/adodb">http://php.weblogs.com/adodb</a>.
<h3>MySQL Example</h3>
<p>The most common database used with PHP is MySQL, so I guess you should be familiar
with the following code. It connects to a MySQL server at <i>localhost</i>,
database <i>mydb</i>, and executes an SQL select statement. The results are
printed, one line per row.
<pre><font color="#666600">$db = <b>mysql_connect</b>(&quot;localhost&quot;, &quot;root&quot;, &quot;password&quot;);
<b>mysql_select_db</b>(&quot;mydb&quot;,$db);</font>
<font color="#660000">$result = <b>mysql_query</b>(&quot;SELECT * FROM employees&quot;,$db)</font><code><font color="#663300">;
if ($result === false) die(&quot;failed&quot;);</font></code>
<font color="#006666"><b>while</b> ($fields =<b> mysql_fetch_row</b>($result)) &#123;
<b>for</b> ($i=0, $max=sizeof($fields); $i &lt; $max; $i++) &#123;
<b>print</b> $fields[$i].' ';
&#125;
<b>print</b> &quot;&lt;br&gt;\n&quot;;
&#125;</font>
</pre>
<p>The above code has been color-coded by section. The first section is the connection
phase. The second is the execution of the SQL, and the last section is displaying
the fields. The <i>while</i> loop scans the rows of the result, while the <i>for</i>
loop scans the fields in one row.</p>
<p>Here is the equivalent code in ADODB</p>
<pre><b><font color="#666600"> include(&quot;adodb.inc.php&quot;);</font></b><font color="#666600">
$db = <b>NewADOConnection</b>('mysql');
$db-&gt;<b>Connect</b>(&quot;localhost&quot;, &quot;root&quot;, &quot;password&quot;, &quot;mydb&quot;);</font>
<font color="#663300">$result = $db-&gt;<b>Execute</b>(&quot;SELECT * FROM employees&quot;);
</font><font color="#663300"></font><code><font color="#663300">if ($result === false) die(&quot;failed&quot;)</font></code><code><font color="#663300">;</font></code>
<font color="#006666"><b>while</b> (!$result-&gt;EOF) &#123;
<b>for</b> ($i=0, $max=$result-&gt;<b>FieldCount</b>(); $i &lt; $max; $i++)
<b>print</b> $result-&gt;fields[$i].' ';
$result-&gt;<b>MoveNext</b>();
<b>print</b> &quot;&lt;br&gt;\n&quot;;
&#125;</font> </pre>
<p></p>
<p>Now porting to Oracle is as simple as changing the second line to <code>NewADOConnection('oracle')</code>.
Let's walk through the code...</p>
<h3>Connecting to the Database</h3>
<p></p>
<pre><b><font color="#666600">include(&quot;adodb.inc.php&quot;);</font></b><font color="#666600">
$db = <b>NewADOConnection</b>('mysql');
$db-&gt;<b>Connect</b>(&quot;localhost&quot;, &quot;root&quot;, &quot;password&quot;, &quot;mydb&quot;);</font></pre>
<p>The connection code is a bit more sophisticated than MySQL's because our needs
are more sophisticated. In ADODB, we use an object-oriented approach to managing
the complexity of handling multiple databases. We have different classes to
handle different databases. If you aren't familiar with object-oriented programing,
don't worry -- the complexity is all hidden away in the<code> NewADOConnection()</code>
function.</p>
<p>To conserve memory, we only load the PHP code specific to the database you
are connecting to. We do this by calling <code>NewADOConnection(databasedriver)</code>.
Legal database drivers include <i>mysql, mssql, oracle, oci8, postgres, sybase,
vfp, access, ibase </i>and many others.</p>
<p>Then we create a new instance of the connection class by calling <code>NewADOConnection()</code>.
Finally we connect to the database using <code>$db-&gt;Connect(). </code></p>
<h3>Executing the SQL</h3>
<p><code><font color="#663300">$result = $db-&gt;<b>Execute</b>(&quot;SELECT *
FROM employees&quot;);<br>
if ($result === false) die(&quot;failed&quot;)</font></code><code><font color="#663300">;</font></code>
<br>
</p>
<p>Sending the SQL statement to the server is straight forward. Execute() will
return a recordset object on successful execution. You should check $result
as we do above.
<p>An issue that confuses beginners is the fact that we have two types of objects
in ADODB, the connection object and the recordset object. When do we use each?
<p>The connection object ($db) is responsible for connecting to the database,
formatting your SQL and querying the database server. The recordset object ($result)
is responsible for retrieving the results and formatting the reply as text or
as an array.
<p>The only thing I need to add is that ADODB provides several helper functions
for making INSERT and UPDATE statements easier, which we will cover in the Advanced
section.
<h3>Retrieving the Data<br>
</h3>
<pre><font color="#006666"><b>while</b> (!$result-&gt;EOF) &#123;
<b>for</b> ($i=0, $max=$result-&gt;<b>FieldCount</b>(); $i &lt; $max; $i++)
<b>print</b> $result-&gt;fields[$i].' ';
$result-&gt;<b>MoveNext</b>();
<b>print</b> &quot;&lt;br&gt;\n&quot;;
&#125;</font></pre>
<p>The paradigm for getting the data is that it's like reading a file. For every
line, we check first whether we have reached the end-of-file (EOF). While not
end-of-file, loop through each field in the row. Then move to the next line
(MoveNext) and repeat.
<p>The <code>$result-&gt;fields[]</code> array is generated by the PHP database
extension. Some database extensions do not index the array by field name.
To force indexing by name - that is associative arrays -
use the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE global variable.
<pre>
$<b>ADODB_FETCH_MODE</b> = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;
$rs1 = $db->Execute('select * from table');
$<b>ADODB_FETCH_MODE</b> = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC;
$rs2 = $db->Execute('select * from table');
print_r($rs1->fields); // shows <i>array([0]=>'v0',[1] =>'v1')</i>
print_r($rs2->fields); // shows <i>array(['col1']=>'v0',['col2'] =>'v1')</i>
</pre>
<p>
As you can see in the above example, both recordsets store and use different fetch modes
based on the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE setting when the recordset was created by Execute().</p>
<h2>ADOConnection<a name="ADOConnection"></a></h2>
<p>Object that performs the connection to the database, executes SQL statements
and has a set of utility functions for standardising the format of SQL statements
for issues such as concatenation and date formats.</p>
<h3>Other Useful Functions</h3>
<p><code>$recordset-&gt;Move($pos)</code> scrolls to that particular row. ADODB supports forward
scrolling for all databases. Some databases will not support backwards scrolling.
This is normally not a problem as you can always cache records to simulate backwards
scrolling.
<p><code>$recordset-&gt;RecordCount()</code> returns the number of records accessed by the
SQL statement. Some databases will return -1 because it is not supported.
<p><code>$recordset-&gt;GetArray()</code> returns the result as an array.
<p><code>rs2html($recordset)</code> is a function that is generates a HTML table based on the
$recordset passed to it. An example with the relevant lines in bold:
<pre> include('adodb.inc.php');
<b>include('tohtml.inc.php');</b> /* includes the rs2html function */
$conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql');
$conn-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','password','database');
$rs = $conn-&gt;Execute('select * from table');
<b> rs2html($rs)</b>; /* recordset to html table */ </pre>
<p>There are many other helper functions that are listed in the documentation available at <a href="http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_manual"></a><a href="http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_manual">http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_manual</a>.
<h2>Advanced Material</h2>
<h3>Inserts and Updates </h3>
<p>Let's say you want to insert the following data into a database.
<p><b>ID</b> = 3<br>
<b>TheDate</b>=mktime(0,0,0,8,31,2001) /* 31st August 2001 */<br>
<b>Note</b>= sugar why don't we call it off
<p>When you move to another database, your insert might no longer work.</p>
<p>The first problem is that each database has a different default date format.
MySQL expects YYYY-MM-DD format, while other databases have different defaults.
ADODB has a function called DBDate() that addresses this issue by converting
converting the date to the correct format.</p>
<p>The next problem is that the <b>don't</b> in the Note needs to be quoted. In
MySQL, we use <b>don\'t</b> but in some other databases (Sybase, Access, Microsoft
SQL Server) we use <b>don''t. </b>The qstr() function addresses this issue.</p>
<p>So how do we use the functions? Like this:</p>
<pre>$sql = &quot;INSERT INTO table (id, thedate,note) values (&quot;
. $<b>ID</b> . ','
. $db-&gt;DBDate($<b>TheDate</b>) .','
. $db-&gt;qstr($<b>Note</b>).&quot;)&quot;;
$db-&gt;Execute($sql);</pre>
<p>ADODB also supports <code>$connection-&gt;Affected_Rows()</code> (returns the
number of rows affected by last update or delete) and <code>$recordset-&gt;Insert_ID()</code>
(returns last autoincrement number generated by an insert statement). Be forewarned
that not all databases support the two functions.<br>
</p>
<h3>MetaTypes</h3>
<p>You can find out more information about each of the fields (I use the words
fields and columns interchangebly) you are selecting by calling the recordset
method <code>FetchField($fieldoffset)</code>. This will return an object with
3 properties: name, type and max_length.
<pre>For example:</pre>
<pre>$recordset = $conn-&gt;Execute(&quot;select adate from table&quot;);<br>$f0 = $recordset-&gt;FetchField(0);
</pre>
<p>Then <code>$f0-&gt;name</code> will hold <i>'adata'</i>, <code>$f0-&gt;type</code>
will be set to '<i>date'</i>. If the max_length is unknown, it will be set to
-1.
<p>One problem with handling different databases is that each database often calls
the same type by a different name. For example a <i>timestamp</i> type is called
<i>datetime</i> in one database and <i>time</i> in another. So ADODB has a special
<code>MetaType($type, $max_length)</code> function that standardises the types
to the following:
<p>C: character and varchar types<br>
X: text or long character (eg. more than 255 bytes wide).<br>
B: blob or binary image<br>
D: date<br>
T: timestamp<br>
L: logical (boolean)<br>
I: integer<br>
N: numeric (float, double, money)
<p>In the above date example,
<p><code>$recordset = $conn-&gt;Execute(&quot;select adate from table&quot;);<br>
$f0 = $recordset-&gt;FetchField(0);<br>
$type = $recordset-&gt;MetaType($f0-&gt;type, $f0-&gt;max_length);<br>
print $type; /* should print 'D'</code> */
<p>
<p><b>Select Limit and Top Support</b>
<p>ADODB has a function called $connection->SelectLimit($sql,$nrows,$offset) that allows
you to retrieve a subset of the recordset. This will take advantage of native
SELECT TOP on Microsoft products and SELECT ... LIMIT with PostgreSQL and MySQL, and
emulated if the database does not support it.
<p><b>Caching Support</b>
<p>ADODB allows you to cache recordsets in your file system, and only requery the database
server after a certain timeout period with $connection->CacheExecute($secs2cache,$sql) and
$connection->CacheSelectLimit($secs2cache,$sql,$nrows,$offset).
<p><b>PHP4 Session Handler Support</b>
<p>ADODB also supports PHP4 session handlers. You can store your session variables
in a database for true scalability using ADODB. For further information, visit
<a href="http://php.weblogs.com/adodb-sessions"></a><a href="http://php.weblogs.com/adodb-sessions">http://php.weblogs.com/adodb-sessions</a>
<h3>Commercial Use Encouraged</h3>
<p>If you plan to write commercial PHP applications that you want to resell, you should consider ADODB. It has been released using the lesser GPL, which means you can legally include it in commercial applications, while keeping your code proprietary. Commercial use of ADODB is strongly encouraged! We are using it internally for this reason.<p>
