");

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