ingres_pconnect - Open a persistent connection to an Ingres database
SYNOPSIS
resource ingres_pconnect ([string $database], [string $username], [string $password], [array $options])
DESCRIPTION
Open a persistent connection to an Ingres database.
There are only two differences between this function and ingres_connect(3): First, when connecting, the function will initially try to
find a (persistent) link that is already opened with the same parameters. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of
opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the Ingres server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead,
the link will remain open for future use (ingres_close(3) will not close links established by ingres_pconnect(3)). This type of link is
therefore called "persistent".
PARAMETERS
o $database
- The database name. Must follow the syntax: $[vnode::]dbname[/svr_class]
o $username
- The Ingres user name
o $password
- The password associated with $username
o $options
- See ingres_connect(3) for the list of options that can be passed
RETURN VALUES
Returns an Ingres link resource on success or FALSE on failure
