mssql_query - Send MS SQL query

SYNOPSIS
       mixed mssql_query (string  $query, [resource  $link_identifier], [int  $batch_size])

DESCRIPTION
       mssql_query(3) sends a query to the currently active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier.

PARAMETERS
	      o $query
		- An SQL query.

	      o $link_identifier
		-  A  MS SQL link identifier, returned by mssql_connect(3) or mssql_pconnect(3).  If the link identifier isn't specified, the last
		opened link is assumed. If no link is open, the function tries to establish a link as if mssql_connect(3) was called, and use it.

	      o $batch_size
		- The number of records to batch in the buffer.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns a MS SQL result resource on success, TRUE if no rows were returned, or FALSE on error.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      mssql_query(3) example

	      <?php
	      // Connect to MSSQL
	      $link = mssql_connect('KALLESPCSQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');

	      if (!$link || !mssql_select_db('php', $link)) {
		  die('Unable to connect or select database!');
	      }

	      // Do a simple query, select the version of
	      // MSSQL and print it.
	      $version = mssql_query('SELECT @@VERSION');
	      $row = mssql_fetch_array($version);

	      echo $row[0];

	      // Clean up
	      mssql_free_result($version);
	      ?>

NOTES
       Note

	       If the query returns multiple results then it is necessary to fetch all results by mssql_next_result(3)	or  free  the  results	by
	      mssql_free_result(3) before executing next query.
