ingres_prepare - Prepare a query for later execution

SYNOPSIS
       mixed ingres_prepare (resource  $link, string  $query)

DESCRIPTION
	Prepares a query for execution by ingres_execute(3).

	The  query  becomes  part  of the currently open transaction. If there is no open transaction, ingres_query(3) opens a new transaction. To
       close the transaction, you can call either ingres_commit(3) to commit the changes made to the  database	or  ingres_rollback(3)	to  cancel
       these  changes. When the script ends, any open transaction is rolled back (by calling ingres_rollback(3)). You can also use ingres_autocom-
       mit(3) before opening a new transaction to have every SQL query immediately committed.

RETURN VALUES
       ingres_prepare(3)  returns a query result identifier that is used with ingres_execute(3) to execute the query. To see if an error occurred,
       use ingres_errno(3), ingres_error(3), or ingres_errsqlstate(3).
