fbsql_query - Send a FrontBase query

SYNOPSIS

       resource fbsql_query (string  $query, [resource	$link_identifier], [int  $batch_size])

DESCRIPTION

	Sends a $query to the currently active database on the server.

	If  the  query	succeeds,  you	can  call  fbsql_num_rows(3)  to  find	out  how  many	rows  were  returned  for  a  SELECT  statement or
       fbsql_affected_rows(3) to find out how many rows were affected by a DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, or UPDATE statement.

PARAMETERS

	      o $query
		- The SQL query to be executed.

	      Note

		      The query string shall always end with a semicolon.

	      o $
		link_identifier -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified,  the
		function  will	try  to  find  an  open  link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it will try to create one as if
		fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

	      o $batch_size
		-

RETURN VALUES

       fbsql_query(3) returns TRUE (non-zero) or FALSE to indicate whether or not the query succeeded. A return value of TRUE means that the query
       was legal and could be executed by the server. It does not indicate anything about the number of rows affected or returned. It is perfectly
       possible for a query to succeed but affect no rows or return no rows.

	For SELECT statements, fbsql_query(3) returns a new result identifier that you can pass to fbsql_result(3).

       fbsql_query(3) will also fail and return FALSE if you don't have permission to access the table(s) referenced by the query.

EXAMPLES

	The following query is syntactically invalid, so fbsql_query(3) fails and returns FALSE:

       Example #1

	      fbsql_query(3) example

	      <?php
	      $result = fbsql_query("SELECT * WHERE 1=1")
		  or die ("Invalid query");
	      ?>

	The following query is semantically invalid if my_col is not a column in the table my_tbl, so fbsql_query(3) fails and returns FALSE:

       Example #2

	      fbsql_query(3) example

	      <?php
	      $result = fbsql_query ("SELECT my_col FROM my_tbl;")
		  or die ("Invalid query");
	      ?>

		result -A result identifier returned by fbsql_query(3) or fbsql_db_query(3).

	      o $field_offset

	      o table - name of the table the column belongs to

	      o max_length - maximum length of the column

	      o not_null - 1 if the column cannot be

       Example #1

		  or die("Could not connect");
	      $result = fbsql_db_query("database", "select * from table")
		  or die("Query failed");
	      # get column metadata
	      $i = 0;
	      while ($i < fbsql_num_fields($result)) {
		  echo "Information for column $i:<br />
";
		  $meta = fbsql_fetch_field($result);
		  if (!$meta) {
		      echo "No information available<br />
";
		  }
		  echo "<pre>
	      max_length:   $meta->max_length
	      name:	    $meta->name
	      not_null:     $meta->not_null
	      table:	    $meta->table
