mssql_select_db - Select MS SQL database

SYNOPSIS

       bool mssql_select_db (string  $database_name, [resource	$link_identifier])

DESCRIPTION

       mssql_select_db(3) sets the current active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier.

	Every subsequent call to mssql_query(3) will be made on the active database.

PARAMETERS

	      o $database_name
		-  The	database name.	To escape the name of a database that contains spaces, hyphens ("-"), or any other exceptional characters,
		the database name must be enclosed in brackets, as is shown in the example, below.  This  technique  must  also  be  applied  when
		selecting a database name that is also a reserved word (such as primary).

	      o $link_identifier
		-  A  MS  SQL  link  identifier,  returned by mssql_connect(3) or mssql_pconnect(3).  If no link identifier is specified, the last
		opened link is assumed. If no link is open, the function will try to establish a link as if mssql_connect(3) was called,  and  use
		it.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      mssql_select_db(3) example

	      // Select the database 'php'
	      mssql_select_db('php', $link);
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Escaping the database name with square brackets

	      <?php

mysql_create_db - Create a MySQL database

SYNOPSIS

       Warning

	      This  function  was deprecated in PHP 4.3.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten-
	      sion. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide  and  related  FAQ  for  more
	      information. Alternatives to this function include:

		     omysqli_query(3)

		     o PDO::query

       bool mysql_create_db (string  $database_name, [resource	$link_identifier = NULL])

DESCRIPTION

       mysql_create_db(3) attempts to create a new database on the server associated with the specified link identifier.

	      o $database_name
		- The name of the database being created.

	      o $
		link_identifier  -The  MySQL  connection.  If  the  link  identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is
		assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
		is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

       Example #1

	      mysql_create_db(3) alternative example

	       The  function  mysql_create_db(3)  is  deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_query(3) to issue an sql CREATE DATABASE statement
	      instead.

	      <?php
	      $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
	      if (!$link) {
		  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
	      }

	      $sql = 'CREATE DATABASE my_db';
	      if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
		  echo "Database my_db created successfully
";
	      } else {
		  echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "
";
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Database my_db created successfully

       Note

	       For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_createdb(3)

       Note

	       This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.

       mysql_query(3), mysql_select_db(3).
