MSSQL_SELECT_DB(3) MSSQL_SELECT_DB(3) 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 <?php // Create a link to MSSQL $link = mssql_connect('KALLESPCSQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi'); // Select the database 'php' mssql_select_db('php', $link); ?> Example #2 Escaping the database name with square brackets <?php // Create a link to MSSQL $link = mssql_connect('KALLESPCSQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi'); // Select the database 'my.database-name' mssql_select_db('[my.database-name]', $link); ?> SEE ALSO
