<a href="#adodiff">Differences between ADOdb and ADO</a><br>
<a href="#driverguide"><b>Database Driver Guide<br>
</b></a><b><a href="#changes">Change Log</a></b></p>
<h2>Introduction<a name=intro></a></h2>
<p>PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a need
for a database class library to hide the differences between the different
database API's (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily switch databases.
PHP 4.0.5 or later is now required (because we use array-based str_replace).</p>
<p>We currently support MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Sybase SQL
Anywhere, Informix, PostgreSQL, FrontBase, SQLite, Interbase (Firebird and
Borland variants), Foxpro, Access, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">ADO</st1:place></st1:City>,
DB2, SAP DB and ODBC. We have had successful reports of connecting to Progress
and CacheLite via ODBC. We hope more people will contribute drivers to support
other databases.</p>
<p>PHP4 supports session variables. You can store your session information
using ADOdb for true portability and scalability. See adodb-session.php for
more information.</p>
<p>Also read <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/tips_portable_sql.htm">tips_portable_sql.htm</a>
for tips on writing portable SQL.</p>

<h3>Code Initialization Examples<a name=coding></a></h3>
<p>When running ADOdb, at least two files are loaded. First is
adodb/adodb.inc.php, which contains all functions used by all database classes.
The code specific to a particular database is in the
adodb/driver/adodb-????.inc.php file.</p>
<p><a name=adonewconnection></a>For example, to connect to a mysql database:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>include('/path/to/set/here/adodb.inc.php');<br>
$conn = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql');</pre></div>
<p>Whenever you need to connect to a database, you create a Connection object
using the <b>ADONewConnection</b>($driver) function. <b>NewADOConnection</b>($driver)
is an alternative name for the same function.</p>
<p>At this point, you are not connected to the database (no longer true if you
pass in a <a href="#dsnsupport">dsn</a>). You will first need to decide whether
to use <i>persistent</i> or <i>non-persistent</i> connections. The advantage of
<i>persistent</i> connections is that they are faster, as the database
connection is never closed (even when you call Close()). <i>Non-persistent </i>connections
take up much fewer resources though, reducing the risk of your database and
your web-server becoming overloaded. </p>
<p>For persistent connections, use $conn-&gt;<a href="#pconnect">PConnect()</a>,
or $conn-&gt;<a href="#connect">Connect()</a> for non-persistent connections.
Some database drivers also support <a href="#nconnect">NConnect()</a>, which
forces the creation of a new connection. <a name="connection_gotcha"></a></p>
<p><b>Connection Gotcha</b>: If you create two connections, but both use the
same userid and password, PHP will share the same connection. This can cause
problems if the connections are meant to different databases. The solution is
to always use different userid's for different databases, or use NConnect(). <a

<p>Since ADOdb 4.51, you can connect to a database by passing a dsn to
NewADOConnection() (or ADONewConnection, which is the same function). The dsn
format is: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<p>NewADOConnection() calls Connect() or PConnect() internally for you. If the
connection fails, false is returned. </p>

<p>For all drivers, when the options <i>persist</i> or <i>persistent</i> are
set, a persistent connection is forced; similarly, when <i>new</i> is set, then
a new connection will be created using NConnect if the underlying driver
supports it. The <i>debug</i> option enables debugging. The <i>fetchmode</i>
calls <a href="#setfetchmode">SetFetchMode()</a>. If no value is defined for an
option, then the value is set to 1. </p>
<p>Since ADOdb 5.09, we added 2 new parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li class=MsoNormal><i>cachesecs</i> which globally determines how many seconds to cache recordsets (default is 3600 secs if not defined) when
CacheExecute() and CacheSelectLimit() are called and no cache-time parameter is passed into these functions.
<li class=MsoNormal><i>memcache</i> which defines the memcache host, port and whether to use compression. For example:
<pre>
# we have a memcache server at 10.1.1.22 using default port 11211, no compression
$dsn = 'mysql://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?memcache=10.1.1.22';
# we have a memcache server 10.1.1.22 port 8888, compression=on
$dsn = 'mysql://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?memcache=10.1.1.22:8888:1';
# we have a memcache servers mem1,mem2 on port 8888, compression=off
$dsn = 'mysql://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?memcache=mem1,mem2:8888:0';
# we have a memcache servers mem1,mem2 on port 8888, compression=off and cachesecs=120
$dsn = 'mysql://user:pwd@localhost/mydb?memcache=mem1,mem2:8888:0&cachesecs=120';
</pre>
</ul>
<p>ADOdb DSN's are compatible with version 1.0 of PEAR DB's DSN format. <a

<h2><a name=speed></a>High Speed ADOdb - tuning tips</h2>
<p>ADOdb is a big class library, yet it <a href="http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/">consistently
beats</a> all other PHP class libraries in performance. This is because it is
designed in a layered fashion, like an onion, with the fastest functions in the
innermost layer. Stick to the following functions for best performance:</p>
<div align=center>
<table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellpadding=0 width="40%"
style='width:40.0%;mso-cellspacing:1.5pt'>
<tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes'>
<td style='padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'>
<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b>Innermost Layer</b></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes'>
<td style='padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'>
<p align=center style='text-align:center'>Connect, PConnect, NConnect<br>
Execute, CacheExecute<br>
SelectLimit, CacheSelectLimit<br>
MoveNext, Close <br>
qstr, Affected_Rows, Insert_ID</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p>The fastest way to access the field data is by accessing the array
$recordset-&gt;fields directly. Also set the global variables <a
href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a> = ADODB_FETCH_NUM, and (for
oci8, ibase/firebird and odbc) <a href="#adodb_countrecs">$ADODB_COUNTRECS</a>
= false before you connect to your database.</p>
<p>Consider using bind parameters if your database supports it, as it improves
query plan reuse. Use ADOdb's performance tuning system to identify bottlenecks
quickly. At the time of writing (Dec 2003), this means oci8 and odbc drivers.</p>
<p>Lastly make sure you have a PHP accelerator cache installed such as APC,
Turck MMCache, Zend Accelerator or ionCube.</p>

<p><b>Advanced Tips</b> </p>
<p>If you have the <a href="http://adodb.sourceforge.net/#extension">ADOdb C
extension</a> installed, you can replace your calls to $rs-&gt;MoveNext() with
adodb_movenext($rs). This doubles the speed of this operation. For retrieving
entire recordsets at once, use GetArray(), which uses the high speed extension
function adodb_getall($rs) internally. </p>
<p>Execute() is the default way to run queries. You can use the low-level
functions _Execute() and _query() to reduce query overhead. Both these
functions share the same parameters as Execute(). </p>
<p>If you do not have any bind parameters or your database supports binding
(without emulation), then you can call _Execute() directly. Calling this
function bypasses bind emulation. Debugging is still supported in _Execute(). </p>
<p>If you do not require debugging facilities nor emulated binding, and do not
require a recordset to be returned, then you can call _query. This is great for
inserts, updates and deletes. Calling this function bypasses emulated binding,
debugging, and recordset handling. Either the resultid, true or false are
returned by _query(). </p>
<p>For Informix, you can disable scrollable cursors with $db-&gt;cursorType =
0. </p>
<h2><a name=hack></a>Hacking ADOdb Safely</h2>
<p>You might want to modify ADOdb for your own purposes. Luckily you can still
maintain backward compatibility by sub-classing ADOdb and using the
$ADODB_NEWCONNECTION variable. $ADODB_NEWCONNECTION allows you to override the
behaviour of ADONewConnection(). ADOConnection() checks for this variable and
will call the function-name stored in this variable if it is defined. </p>
<p>In the following example, new functionality for the connection object is
placed in the <i>hack_mysql</i> and <i>hack_postgres7</i> classes. The
recordset class naming convention can be controlled using $rsPrefix. Here we
set it to 'hack_rs_', which will make ADOdb use <i>hack_rs_mysql</i> and <i>hack_rs_postgres7</i>
as the recordset classes. </p>

<p>Don't forget to call the constructor of the parent class in your
constructor. If you want to use the default ADOdb drivers return false in the
above hack_factory() function. Also you can define your own
ADORecordSet_empty() class, by defining a class $$this-&gt;rsPrefix.'empty'
since 4.96/5.02. <a name=php5></a></p>

</table>
<p>The &quot;Tested&quot; column indicates how extensively the code has been
tested and used. <br>
A = well tested and used by many people<br>
B = tested and usable, but some features might not be implemented<br>
C = user contributed or experimental driver. Might not fully support all of the
latest features of ADOdb. </p>
<p>The column &quot;RecordCount() usable&quot; indicates whether RecordCount()
return the number of rows, or returns -1 when a SELECT statement is executed.
If this column displays Y/N then the RecordCount() is emulated when the global
variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS=true (this is the default). Note that for large
recordsets, it might be better to disable RecordCount() emulation because
substantial amounts of memory are required to cache the recordset for counting.
Also there is a speed penalty of 40-50% if emulation is required. This is
emulated in most databases except for PostgreSQL and MySQL. This variable is
checked every time a query is executed, so you can selectively choose which
recordsets to count.</p>

<h1>Tutorials<a name=quickstart></a></h1>
<h3>Example 1: Select Statement<a name=ex1></a></h3>
<p>Task: Connect to the Access Northwind DSN, display the first 2 columns of
each row.</p>
<p>In this example, we create a ADOConnection object, which represents the
connection to the database. The connection is initiated with <a href="#pconnect"><span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>PConnect</span></a>, which is a persistent
connection. Whenever we want to query the database, we call the <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>ADOConnection.<a href="#execute">Execute</a>()</span>
function. This returns an ADORecordSet object which is actually a cursor that
holds the current row in the array <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>fields[]</span>.
We use <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#movenext">MoveNext</a>()</span>
to move from row to row.</p>
<p>NB: A useful function that is not used in this example is <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#selectlimit">SelectLimit</a></span>,
which allows us to limit the number of rows shown. </p>

<p>The $<span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>recordSet</span> returned
stores the current row in the <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>$recordSet-&gt;fields</span>
array, indexed by column number (starting from zero). We use the <span

Execute(), we return false instead of a recordset.</p>
<p>The <code><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>$recordSet-&gt;fields[]</span></code>
array is generated by the PHP database extension. Some database extensions only
index by number and do not index the array by field name. To force indexing by
name - that is associative arrays - use the SetFetchMode function. Each
recordset saves and uses whatever fetch mode was set when the recordset was

<p>In this example, we check the field type of the second column using <span

This returns an object with at least 3 fields.</p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l6 level1 lfo6;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'><b>name</b>: name of column</li>

<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l6 level1 lfo6;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'><b>max_length</b>: maximum
length of field. Some databases such as MySQL do not return the maximum
length of the field correctly. In these cases max_length will be set to
-1.</li>
</ul>
<p>We then use <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#metatype">MetaType</a>()</span>
to translate the native type to a <i>generic</i> type. Currently the following <i>generic</i>
types are defined:</p>
<ul type=disc>

</ul>
<p>If the metatype is of type date or timestamp, then we print it using the
user defined date format with <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a
href="#userdate">UserDate</a>(),</span> which converts the PHP SQL date string
format to a user defined one. Another use for <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a
href="#metatype">MetaType</a>()</span> is data validation before doing an SQL
insert or update.</p>
<h3>Example 3: Inserting<a name=ex3></a></h3>

<p>In this example, we see the advanced date and quote handling facilities of
ADOdb. The unix timestamp (which is a long integer) is appropriately formated
for Access with <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#dbdate">DBDate</a>()</span>,
and the right escape character is used for quoting the <i>John's Old Shoppe</i>,
which is<b> </b><i>John'<b>'</b>s Old Shoppe</i> and not PHP's default <i>John<b>'</b>s
Old Shoppe</i> with <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#qstr">qstr</a>()</span>.
</p>
<p>Observe the error-handling of the Execute statement. False is returned by<span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'> <a href="#execute">Execute</a>() </span>if
an error occured. The error message for the last error that occurred is
displayed in <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#errormsg">ErrorMsg</a>()</span>.

<p>In the above example, we have turned on debugging by setting <b>debug = true</b>.
This will display the SQL statement before execution, and also show any error
messages. There is no need to call <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a
href="#errormsg">ErrorMsg</a>()</span> in this case. For displaying the
recordset, see the <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><a href="#exrs2html">rs2html</a>()

selected. See <a href="#getmenu"><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>GetMenu</span></a><span

<p>Since ADOdb 4.56, we support <a

<p>The rest of this section is out-of-date: </p>
<p>ADOdb 1.31 and later supports two new recordset functions: GetUpdateSQL( )
and GetInsertSQL( ). This allow you to perform a &quot;SELECT * FROM table
query WHERE...&quot;, make a copy of the $rs-&gt;fields, modify the fields, and
then generate the SQL to update or insert into the table automatically. </p>
<p>We show how the functions can be used when accessing a table with the
following fields: (ID, FirstName, LastName, Created). </p>
<p>Before these functions can be called, you need to initialize the recordset by
performing a select on the table. Idea and code by Jonathan Younger
jyounger#unilab.com. Since ADOdb 2.42, you can pass a table name instead of a
recordset into GetInsertSQL (in $rs), and it will generate an insert statement
for that table. </p>

<p>The behaviour of AutoExecute(), GetUpdateSQL() and GetInsertSQL() when
converting empty or null PHP variables to SQL is controlled by the global
$ADODB_FORCE_TYPE variable. Set it to one of the values below. Default is
ADODB_FORCE_VALUE (3): </p>

<p>Thanks to Niko (nuko#mbnet.fi) for the $ADODB_FORCE_TYPE code. </p>
<p>Note: the constant ADODB_FORCE_NULLS is obsolete since 4.52 and is ignored.
Set $ADODB_FORCE_TYPE = ADODB_FORCE_NULL for equivalent behaviour. </p>
<p>Since 4.62, the table name to be used can be overridden by setting
$rs-&gt;tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is
called. </p>

<h3>Example 11:<a name=ex11></a> Smart Transactions</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal>The old way of doing transactions required you to use </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$conn-&gt;<b>BeginTrans</b>();<br>

if ($ok) $ok = $conn-&gt;Execute($sql2);<br>
if (!$ok) $conn-&gt;<b>RollbackTrans</b>();<br>
else $conn-&gt;<b>CommitTrans</b>();</pre></div>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is very complicated for large projects because you have
to track the error status. Smart Transactions is much simpler. You start a
smart transaction by calling StartTrans(): </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$conn-&gt;<b>StartTrans</b>();<br>
$conn-&gt;Execute($sql);<br>
$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);<br>
$conn-&gt;<b>CompleteTrans</b>();</pre></div>
<p class=MsoNormal>CompleteTrans() detects when an SQL error occurs, and will
Rollback/Commit as appropriate. To specificly force a rollback even if no error
occured, use FailTrans(). Note that the rollback is done in CompleteTrans(),
and not in FailTrans(). </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre

$conn-&gt;Execute($Sql2);<br>
$conn-&gt;<b>CompleteTrans</b>();</pre></div>
<p>You can also check if a transaction has failed, using HasFailedTrans(),
which returns true if FailTrans() was called, or there was an error in the SQL
execution. Make sure you call HasFailedTrans() before you call CompleteTrans(),
as it is only works between StartTrans/CompleteTrans. </p>
<p>Lastly, StartTrans/CompleteTrans is nestable, and only the outermost block
is executed. In contrast, BeginTrans/CommitTrans/RollbackTrans is NOT nestable.

<p>ADOdb also provides two custom handlers which you can modify for your needs.
The first one is in the <b>adodb-errorhandler.inc.php</b> file. This makes use
of the standard PHP functions <a href="http://php.net/error_reporting">error_reporting</a>
to control what error messages types to display, and <a
href="http://php.net/trigger_error">trigger_error</a> which invokes the default
PHP error handler. </p>
<p>Including the above file will cause <i>trigger_error($errorstring,E_USER_ERROR)</i>
to be called when<br>
(a) Connect() or PConnect() fails, or <br>
(b) a function that executes SQL statements such as Execute() or SelectLimit()
has an error.<br>
(c) GenID() appears to go into an infinite loop. </p>
<p>The $errorstring is generated by ADOdb and will contain useful debugging
information similar to the error.log data generated below. This file
adodb-errorhandler.inc.php should be included before you create any
ADOConnection objects. </p>
<p>If you define error_reporting(0), no errors will be passed to the error
handler. If you set error_reporting(E_ALL), all errors will be passed to the
error handler. You still need to use <b>ini_set(&quot;display_errors&quot;,
&quot;0&quot; or &quot;1&quot;)</b> to control the display of errors. </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre>&lt;?php<br>

following optional constants ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE and ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST.
ADODB_ERROR_LOG_TYPE is the error log message type (see <a
href="http://php.net/error_log">error_log</a> in the PHP manual). In this case
we set it to 3, which means log to the file defined by the constant
ADODB_ERROR_LOG_DEST. </p>

<h3>PEAR_ERROR</h3>
<p class=MsoNormal>The second error handler is <b>adodb-errorpear.inc.php</b>.
This will create a PEAR_Error derived object whenever an error occurs. The last
PEAR_Error object created can be retrieved using ADODB_Pear_Error(). </p>

<p>You can use a PEAR_Error derived class by defining the constant
ADODB_PEAR_ERROR_CLASS before the adodb-errorpear.inc.php file is included. For
easy debugging, you can set the default error handler in the beginning of the
PHP script to PEAR_ERROR_DIE, which will cause an error message to be printed,
then halt script execution: </p>

solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>include('PEAR.php');<br>
PEAR::setErrorHandling('PEAR_ERROR_DIE');</pre></div>
<p>Note that we do not explicitly return a PEAR_Error object to you when an
error occurs. We return false instead. You have to call ADODB_Pear_Error() to
get the last error or use the PEAR_ERROR_DIE technique. </p>
<h3>MetaError and MetaErrMsg</h3>
<p>If you need error messages that work across multiple databases, then use <a
href="#metaerror">MetaError()</a>, which returns a virtualized error number,
based on PEAR DB's error number system, and <a href="#metaerrmsg">MetaErrMsg()</a>.
</p>
<h4>Error Messages</h4>
<p>Error messages are outputted using the static method
ADOConnnection::outp($msg,$newline=true). By default, it sends the messages to
the client. You can override this to perform error-logging. </p>
<h2><a name=dsn></a>Data Source Names</h2>
<p>We now support connecting using PEAR style DSN's. A DSN is a connection
string of the form:</p>
<p>$dsn = <i>&quot;$driver://$username:$password@$hostname/$databasename&quot;</i>;</p>

<h2><a name=caching></a>Caching of Recordsets</h2>
<p>ADOdb now supports caching of recordsets in the file system using the
CacheExecute( ), CachePageExecute( ) and CacheSelectLimit( ) functions. There
are similar to the non-cache functions, except that they take a new first
parameter, $secs2cache. </p>
<p>An example: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'><b>include</b>('adodb.inc.php'); # load code common to ADOdb<br>
$ADODB_CACHE_DIR = '/usr/ADODB_cache';<br>
$<span style='color:#663300'>conn</span> = &amp;ADONewConnection('mysql');<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD> </span># create a connection<br>
$<span style='color:#663300'>conn</span>-&gt;PConnect('localhost','userid','','agora');# connect to MySQL, agora db<br>
$<span style='color:#663300'>sql</span> = 'select CustomerName, CustomerID from customers';<br>
$<span style='color:#663300'>rs</span> = $<span style='color:#663300'>conn</span>-&gt;CacheExecute(15,$sql);</pre></div>
<p>The first parameter is the number of seconds to cache the query. Subsequent
calls to that query will used the cached version stored in $ADODB_CACHE_DIR. To
force a query to execute and flush the cache, call CacheExecute() with the
first parameter set to zero. Alternatively, use the CacheFlush($sql) call. </p>
<p>For the sake of security, we recommend you set <i>register_globals=off</i> in
php.ini if you are using $ADODB_CACHE_DIR.</p>
<p>In ADOdb 1.80 onwards, the secs2cache parameter is optional in
CacheSelectLimit() and CacheExecute(). If you leave it out, it will use the
$connection-&gt;cacheSecs parameter, which defaults to 60 minutes. The following
are equivalent: </p>

<h2><a name=pivot></a>Pivot Tables</h2>
<p>Since ADOdb 2.30, we support the generation of SQL to create pivot tables,
also known as cross-tabulations. For further explanation read this DevShed <a
href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/MySQLWiz/">Cross-Tabulation tutorial</a>.
We assume that your database supports the SQL case-when expression. </p>
<p>In this example, we will use the Northwind database from Microsoft. In the
database, we have a products table, and we want to analyze this table by <i>suppliers
versus product categories</i>. We will place the suppliers on each row, and
pivot on categories. So from the table on the left, we generate the pivot-table
on the right:</p>

<h1>Class Reference<a name=ref></a></h1>
<p>Function parameters with [ ] around them are optional.</p>
<h2>Global Variables</h2>
<h3><a name="adodb_countrecs"></a>$ADODB_COUNTRECS</h3>
<p>If the database driver API does not support counting the number of records
returned in a SELECT statement, the function RecordCount() is emulated when the
global variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS is set to true, which is the default. We
emulate this by buffering the records, which can take up large amounts of
memory for big recordsets. Set this variable to false for the best performance.
This variable is checked every time a query is executed, so you can selectively
choose which recordsets to count.</p>
<h3><a name="adodb_cache_dir"></a>$ADODB_CACHE_DIR</h3>
<p>If you are using recordset caching, this is the directory to save your
recordsets in. Define this before you call any caching functions such as
CacheExecute( ). We recommend setting <i>register_globals=off</i> in php.ini if
you use this feature for security reasons.</p>
<p>If you are using Unix and apache, you might need to set your cache directory
permissions to something similar to the following:</p>
<p>chown -R apache /path/to/adodb/cache<br>
chgrp -R apache /path/to/adodb/cache </p>
<h3><a name="adodb_ansi_padding_off"></a>$ADODB_ANSI_PADDING_OFF</h3>
<p>Determines whether to right trim CHAR fields (and also VARCHAR for
ibase/firebird). Set to true to trim. Default is false. Currently works for
oci8po, ibase and firebird drivers. Added in ADOdb 4.01. </p>
<h3><a name="adodb_lang"></a>$ADODB_LANG</h3>
<p>Determines the language used in MetaErrorMsg(). The default is 'en', for
English. To find out what languages are supported, see the files in
adodb/lang/adodb-$lang.inc.php, where $lang is the supported langauge. </p>
<h3><a name="adodb_fetch_mode"></a>$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</h3>
<p>This is a global variable that determines how arrays are retrieved by recordsets.
The recordset saves this value on creation (eg. in Execute( ) or SelectLimit(
)), and any subsequent changes to $ADODB_FETCH_MODE have no affect on existing
recordsets, only on recordsets created in the future.</p>
<p>The following constants are defined:</p>
<p>define('ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT',0);<br>
define('ADODB_FETCH_NUM',1);<br>
define('ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC',2);<br>
define('ADODB_FETCH_BOTH',3); </p>

<p>As you can see in the above example, both recordsets store and use different
fetch modes based on the $ADODB_FETCH_MODE setting when the recordset was
created by Execute().</p>
<p>If no fetch mode is predefined, the fetch mode defaults to
ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT. The behaviour of this default mode varies from driver to
driver, so do not rely on ADODB_FETCH_DEFAULT. For portability, we recommend
sticking to ADODB_FETCH_NUM or ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC. Many drivers do not support
ADODB_FETCH_BOTH.</p>
<p><strong>SetFetchMode Function</strong></p>
<p>If you have multiple connection objects, and want to have different fetch
modes for each connection, then use <a href="#setfetchmode">SetFetchMode</a>.
Once this function is called for a connection object, that connection object
will ignore the global variable $ADODB_FETCH_MODE and will use the internal
fetchMode property exclusively.</p>

<p>To retrieve the previous fetch mode, you can use check the $db-&gt;fetchMode
property, or use the return value of SetFetchMode( ). </p>
<p><a name="adodb_assoc_case"></a><strong>ADODB_ASSOC_CASE</strong></p>
<p>You can control the associative fetch case for certain drivers which behave
differently. For the sybase, oci8po, mssql, odbc and ibase drivers and all
drivers derived from them, ADODB_ASSOC_CASE will by default generate recordsets
where the field name keys are lower-cased. Use the constant ADODB_ASSOC_CASE to
change the case of the keys. There are 3 possible values:</p>
<p>0 = assoc lowercase field names. $rs-&gt;fields['orderid']<br>
1 = assoc uppercase field names. $rs-&gt;fields['ORDERID']<br>
2 = use native-case field names. $rs-&gt;fields['OrderID'] -- this is the
default since ADOdb 2.90</p>
<p>To use it, declare it before you incldue adodb.inc.php.</p>
<p>define('ADODB_ASSOC_CASE', 2); # use native-case for ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC<br>

<p>Constructor function. Do not call this directly. Use ADONewConnection( )
instead.</p>
<p><b>Connect<a name=connect></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></p>
<p>Non-persistent connect to data source or server $<b>host</b>, using userid $<b>user
</b>and password $<b>password</b>. If the server supports multiple databases,
connect to database $<b>database</b>. </p>
<p>Returns true/false depending on connection success. Since 4.23, null is
returned if the extension is not loaded.</p>
<p><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">ADO</st1:place></st1:City> Note: If
you are using a Microsoft ADO and not OLEDB, you can set the $database
parameter to the OLEDB data provider you are using.</p>
<p>PostgreSQL: An alternative way of connecting to the database is to pass the
standard PostgreSQL connection string in the first parameter $host, and the
other parameters will be ignored.</p>
<p>For Oracle and Oci8, there are two ways to connect. First is to use the TNS
name defined in your local tnsnames.ora (or ONAMES or HOSTNAMES). Place the
name in the $database field, and set the $host field to false. Alternatively,
set $host to the server, and $database to the database SID, this bypassed
tnsnames.ora. </p>
<p>Examples: </p>

style='background:#EEEEEE'><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span># $oraname in tnsnames.ora/ONAMES/HOSTNAMES<br>
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span>$conn-&gt;Connect(false, 'scott', 'tiger', $oraname); <br>
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span>$conn-&gt;Connect('server:1521', 'scott', 'tiger', 'ServiceName'); # bypass tnsnames.ora</pre></div>
<p>There are many examples of connecting to a database. See <a
href="#connect_ex">Connection Examples</a> for many examples. </p>
<p><b>PConnect<a name=pconnect></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></p>
<p>Persistent connect to data source or server $<b>host</b>, using userid $<b>user</b>
and password $<b>password</b>. If the server supports multiple databases,
connect to database $<b>database</b>.</p>
<p>We now perform a rollback on persistent connection for selected databases
since 2.21, as advised in the PHP manual. See change log or source code for
which databases are affected. </p>
<p>Returns true/false depending on connection. Since 4.23, 0 is returned if the
extension is not loaded. See Connect( ) above for more info.</p>
<p>Since ADOdb 2.21, we also support autoRollback. If you set:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span>$conn = &amp;NewADOConnection('mysql');<br>
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span>$conn-&gt;autoRollback = true; # default is false<br>
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span>$conn-&gt;PConnect(...); # rollback here</pre></div>
<p>Then when doing a persistent connection with PConnect( ), ADOdb will perform
a rollback first. This is because it is documented that PHP is not guaranteed
to rollback existing failed transactions when persistent connections are used.
This is implemented in Oracle, MySQL, PgSQL, MSSQL, ODBC currently. </p>
<p>Since ADOdb 3.11, you can force non-persistent connections even if PConnect
is called by defining the constant ADODB_NEVER_PERSIST before you call
PConnect. </p>
<p>Since 4.23, null is returned if the extension is not loaded. </p>
<p><b>NConnect<a name=nconnect></a>($host,[$user],[$password],[$database])</b></p>
<p>Always force a new connection. In contrast, PHP sometimes reuses connections
when you use Connect() or PConnect(). Currently works only on mysql (PHP 4.3.0
or later), postgresql and oci8-derived drivers. For other drivers, NConnect()
works like Connect().</p>
<p><b>IsConnected( )</b><a name=isconnected></a></p>
<p>Returns true if connected to database. Added in 4.53. </p>
<p><b>Execute<a name=execute></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></p>
<p>Execute SQL statement $<b>sql</b> and return derived class of ADORecordSet
if successful. Note that a record set is always returned on success, even if we
are executing an insert or update statement. You can also pass in $sql a
statement prepared in <a href="#prepare">Prepare()</a>.</p>
<p>Returns derived class of ADORecordSet. Eg. if connecting via mysql, then
ADORecordSet_mysql would be returned. False is returned if there was an error
in executing the sql.</p>
<p>The $inputarr parameter can be used for binding variables to parameters.
Below is an Oracle example:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span>$conn-&gt;Execute(&quot;SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=:val&quot;, array('val'=&gt; $val));<br>
<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD></span></pre></div>
<p>Another example, using ODBC,which uses the ? convention:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'><span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD> </span>$conn-&gt;Execute(&quot;SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COND=?&quot;, array($val));</pre></div>
<p class=MsoNormal><a name=binding></a><i>Binding variables</i></p>
<p>Variable binding speeds the compilation and caching of SQL statements,
leading to higher performance. Currently Oracle, Interbase and ODBC supports
variable binding. Interbase/ODBC style ? binding is emulated in databases that
do not support binding. Note that you do not have to quote strings if you use
binding. </p>
<p>Variable binding in the odbc, interbase and oci8po drivers. </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<p class=MsoNormal><a name=bulkbind></a><i>Bulk binding</i> </p>
<p>Since ADOdb 3.80, we support bulk binding in Execute(), in which you pass in
a 2-dimensional array to be bound to an INSERT/UPDATE or DELETE statement. And since ADOdb 5.11 this is
disabled by default due to security issues. To enable, set $conn->bulkBind = true. </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<p>This provides very high performance as the SQL statement is prepared first.
The prepared statement is executed repeatedly for each array row until all rows
are completed, or until the first error. Very useful for importing data. </p>
<p><b>CacheExecute<a name=cacheexecute></a>([$secs2cache,]$sql,$inputarr=false)</b></p>
<p>Similar to Execute, except that the recordset is cached for $secs2cache
seconds in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory, and $inputarr only accepts
1-dimensional arrays. If CacheExecute() is called again with the same $sql,
$inputarr, and also the same database, same userid, and the cached recordset
has not expired, the cached recordset is returned. </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<p>Alternatively, since ADOdb 1.80, the $secs2cache parameter is optional:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre

<p class=MsoNormal>If $secs2cache is omitted, we use the value in
$connection-&gt;cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour). Use
CacheExecute() only with SELECT statements. </p>
<p>Performance note: I have done some benchmarks and found that they vary so
greatly that it's better to talk about when caching is of benefit. When your
database server is <i>much slower </i>than your Web server or the database is <i>very
overloaded </i>then ADOdb's caching is good because it reduces the load on your
database server. If your database server is lightly loaded or much faster than
your Web server, then caching could actually reduce performance. </p>
<p><b>ExecuteCursor<a name=executecursor></a>($sql,$cursorName='rs',$parameters=false)</b></p>
<p>Execute an Oracle stored procedure, and returns an Oracle REF cursor
variable as a regular ADOdb recordset. Does not work with any other database

<p><b>SelectLimit<a name=selectlimit></a>($sql,$numrows=-1,$offset=-1,$inputarr=false)</b></p>
<p>Returns a recordset if successful. Returns false otherwise. Performs a
select statement, simulating PostgreSQL's SELECT statement, LIMIT $numrows
OFFSET $offset clause.</p>
<p>In PostgreSQL, SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 3 will return the first 3 records
only. The equivalent is <code><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT
* FROM TABLE',3)</span></code>. This functionality is simulated for databases
that do not possess this feature.</p>
<p>And SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 3 OFFSET 2 will return records 3, 4 and 5 (eg.
after record 2, return 3 rows). The equivalent in ADOdb is <code><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT * FROM TABLE',3,2)</span></code>.</p>
<p>Note that this is the <i>opposite</i> of MySQL's LIMIT clause. You can also
set <code><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>$connection-&gt;SelectLimit('SELECT *
FROM TABLE',-1,10)</span></code> to get rows 11 to the last row.</p>
<p>The last parameter $inputarr is for databases that support variable binding
such as Oracle oci8. This substantially reduces SQL compilation overhead. Below

<p><b>MetaErrorMsg<a name=metaerrormsg></a>($errno)</b></p>
<p>Pass the error number returned by MetaError() for the equivalent textual
error message.</p>
<p><b>ErrorMsg<a name=errormsg></a>()</b></p>
<p>Returns the last status or error message. The error message is reset after
every call to Execute(). </p>
<p>This can return a string even if no error occurs. In general you do not need
to call this function unless an ADOdb function returns false on an error. </p>
<p>Note: If <b>debug</b> is enabled, the SQL error message is always displayed
when the <b>Execute</b> function is called.</p>
<p><b>ErrorNo<a name=errorno></a>()</b></p>
<p>Returns the last error number. The error number is reset after every call to
Execute(). If 0 is returned, no error occurred. </p>
<p>Note that old versions of PHP (pre 4.0.6) do not support error number for
ODBC. In general you do not need to call this function unless an ADOdb function
returns false on an error.</p>
<p><b>IgnoreErrors<a name=ignoreerrors></a>($saveErrHandlers)</b></p>
<p>Allows you to ignore errors so that StartTrans()/CompleteTrans() is not
affected, nor is the default error handler called if an error occurs. Useful
when you want to check if a field or table exists in a database without
invoking an error if it does not exist. </p>
<p>Usage: </p>

<p>Warning: do not call StartTrans()/CompleteTrans() inside a code block that
is using IgnoreErrors(). </p>
<p><b>SetFetchMode<a name=setfetchmode></a>($mode)</b></p>
<p>Sets the current fetch mode for the connection and stores it in
$db-&gt;fetchMode. Legal modes are ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC and ADODB_FETCH_NUM. For
more info, see <a href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>.</p>
<p>Returns the previous fetch mode, which could be false if SetFetchMode( ) has
not been called before.</p>
<p><b>CreateSequence<a name=createseq></a>($seqName = 'adodbseq',$startID=1)</b></p>
<p>Create a sequence. The next time GenID( ) is called, the value returned will
be $startID. Added in 2.60. </p>
<p><b>DropSequence<a name=dropseq></a>($seqName = 'adodbseq')</b></p>
<p>Delete a sequence. Added in 2.60. </p>
<p><b>GenID<a name=genid></a>($seqName = 'adodbseq',$startID=1)</b></p>
<p>Generate a sequence number . Works for interbase, mysql, postgresql, oci8,
oci8po, mssql, ODBC based (access,vfp,db2,etc) drivers currently. Uses $seqName
as the name of the sequence. GenID() will automatically create the sequence for
you if it does not exist (provided the userid has permission to do so).
Otherwise you will have to create the sequence yourself. </p>
<p>If your database driver emulates sequences, the name of the table is the
sequence name. The table has one column, &quot;id&quot; which should be of type
integer, or if you need something larger - numeric(16). </p>
<p>For ODBC and databases that do not support sequences natively (eg mssql,
mysql), we create a table for each sequence. If the sequence has not been
defined earlier, it is created with the starting value set in $startID.</p>
<p>Note that the mssql driver's GenID() before 1.90 used to generate 16 byte
GUID's.</p>
<p><b>UpdateBlob<a name=updateblob></a>($table,$column,$val,$where)</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Allows you to store a blob (in $val) into $table into

<p>Returns true if succesful, false otherwise. Supported by MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oci8, Oci8po and Interbase drivers. Other drivers might work, depending on the
state of development.</p>
<p>Note that when an Interbase blob is retrieved using SELECT, it still needs
to be decoded using $connection-&gt;DecodeBlob($blob); to derive the original
value in versions of PHP before 4.1.0. </p>
<p>For PostgreSQL, you can store your blob using blob oid's or as a bytea field.
You can use bytea fields but not blob oid's currently with UpdateBlob( ).
Conversely UpdateBlobFile( ) supports oid's, but not bytea data.<br>
<br>
If you do not pass in an oid, then UpdateBlob() assumes that you are storing in
bytea fields. </p>
<p>If you do not have any blob fields, you can improve you can improve general
SQL query performance by disabling blob handling with
$connection-&gt;disableBlobs = true. </p>
<p><b>UpdateClob<a name=updateclob></a>($table,$column,$val,$where)</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Allows you to store a clob (in $val) into $table into

for you and you do not have to call this function. For PostgreSQL, currently,
BlobEncode() can only be used for bytea fields. </p>
<p>Returns the encoded blob value. </p>
<p>Note that there is a connection property called <em>blobEncodeType</em>
which has 3 legal values: </p>
<p>false - no need to perform encoding or decoding.<br>
'I' - blob encoding required, and returned encoded blob is a numeric value (no
need to quote).<br>
'C' - blob encoding required, and returned encoded blob is a character value
(requires quoting). </p>
<p>This is purely for documentation purposes, so that programs that accept
multiple database drivers know what is the right thing to do when processing
blobs. </p>
<p><strong>BlobDecode<a name=blobdecode></a>($blob, $maxblobsize = false)</strong>
</p>
<p>Some databases require blob's to be decoded manually after doing a select
statement. If the database does not require decoding, then this function will
return the blob unchanged. Currently BlobDecode is only required for one
database, PostgreSQL, and only if you are using blob oid's (if you are using
bytea fields, we auto-decode for you). The default maxblobsize is set in
$connection-&gt;maxblobsize, which is set to 256K in adodb 4.54. </p>
<p>In ADOdb 4.54 and later, the blob is the return value. In earlier versions,
the blob data is sent to stdout.</p>

<p>Try to update a record, and if the record is not found, an insert statement

2 if no record was found and the insert was executed successfully. This differs
from MySQL's replace which deletes the record and inserts a new record. This
also means you cannot update the primary key. The only exception to this is
Interbase and its derivitives, which uses delete and insert because of some
Interbase API limitations. </p>
<p>The parameters are $table which is the table name, the $arrFields which is
an associative array where the keys are the field names, and $keyCols is the
name of the primary key, or an array of field names if it is a compound key. If
$autoQuote is set to true, then Replace() will quote all values that are
non-numeric; auto-quoting will not quote nulls. Note that auto-quoting will not

<p><b>AutoExecute<a name=autoexecute></a>($table, $arrFields, $mode,
$where=false, $forceUpdate=true,$magicq=false)</b></p>
<p>Since ADOdb 4.56, you can automatically generate and execute INSERTs and
UPDATEs on a given table with this function, which is a wrapper for
GetInsertSQL() and GetUpdateSQL(). </p>
<p>AutoExecute() inserts or updates $table given an array of $arrFields, where
the keys are the field names and the array values are the field values to
store. Note that there is some overhead because the table is first queried to
extract key information before the SQL is generated. We generate an INSERT or
UPDATE based on $mode (see below). </p>
<p>Legal values for $mode are </p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l5 level1 lfo9;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>'INSERT' or 1 or DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT
</li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l5 level1 lfo9;tab-stops:list 36.0pt'>'UPDATE' or 2 or
DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE </li>
</ul>
<p>You have to define the constants DB_AUTOQUERY_UPDATE and DB_AUTOQUERY_INSERT
yourself or include adodb-pear.inc.php. </p>
<p>The $where clause is required if $mode == 'UPDATE'. If $forceUpdate=false
then we will query the database first and check if the field value returned by
the query matches the current field value; only if they differ do we update
that field. </p>
<p>Returns true on success, false on error. </p>
<p>An example of its use is: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></pre><pre>$record[&quot;firstName&quot;] = &quot;Carol&quot;;</pre><pre>$record[&quot;lasTname&quot;] = &quot;Smith&quot;; </pre><pre>$conn-&gt;AutoExecute($table,$record,'INSERT');</pre><pre># executes <i>&quot;INSERT INTO $table (firstName,lasTname) values ('Carol',Smith')&quot;</i>;</pre><pre><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></pre><pre>$record[&quot;firstName&quot;] = &quot;Carol&quot;;</pre><pre>$record[&quot;lasTname&quot;] = &quot;Jones&quot;; </pre><pre>$conn-&gt;AutoExecute($table,$record,'UPDATE', &quot;lastname like 'Sm%'&quot;);</pre><pre># executes <i>&quot;UPDATE $table SET firstName='Carol',lasTname='Jones' WHERE lastname like 'Sm%'&quot;</i>;</pre></div>
<p>Note: One of the strengths of ADOdb's AutoExecute() is that only valid field
names for $table are updated. If $arrFields contains keys that are invalid
field names for $table, they are ignored. There is some overhead in doing this
as we have to query the database to get the field names, but given that you are
not directly coding the SQL yourself, you probably aren't interested in speed
at all, but convenience. </p>
<p>Since 4.62, the table name to be used can be overridden by setting
$rs-&gt;tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is
called. </p>
<p>Since 4.94, setting the global variable $ADODB_QUOTE_FIELDNAMES to true will
force field names to be auto-quoted in AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() and
GetUpdateSQL(). </p>
<p><b>GetUpdateSQL<a name=getupdatesql></a>(&amp;$rs, $arrFields,
$forceUpdate=false,$magicq=false, $force=null)</b></p>
<p>Generate SQL to update a table given a recordset $rs, and the modified
fields of the array $arrFields (which must be an associative array holding the
column names and the new values) are compared with the current recordset. If
$forceUpdate is true, then we also generate the SQL even if $arrFields is
identical to $rs-&gt;fields. Requires the recordset to be associative. $magicq
is used to indicate whether magic quotes are enabled (see qstr()). The field
names in the array are case-insensitive.</p>
<p>Since 4.52, we allow you to pass the $force type parameter, and this
overrides the <a href="#ADODB_FORCE_TYPE">$ADODB_FORCE_TYPE</a> global
variable. </p>
<p>Since 4.62, the table name to be used can be overridden by setting
$rs-&gt;tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is
called. </p>
<p><b>GetInsertSQL<a name=getinsertsql></a>(&amp;$rs, $arrFields,$magicq=false,$force_type=false)</b></p>
<p>Generate SQL to insert into a table given a recordset $rs. Requires the
query to be associative. $magicq is used to indicate whether magic quotes are
enabled (for qstr()). The field names in the array are case-insensitive.</p>
<p>Since 2.42, you can pass a table name instead of a recordset into
GetInsertSQL (in $rs), and it will generate an insert statement for that table.
</p>
<p>Since 4.52, we allow you to pass the $force_type parameter, and this
overrides the <a href="#ADODB_FORCE_TYPE">$ADODB_FORCE_TYPE</a> global
variable. </p>
<p>Since 4.62, the table name to be used can be overridden by setting
$rs-&gt;tableName before AutoExecute(), GetInsertSQL() or GetUpdateSQL() is
called. </p>
<p><b>PageExecute<a name=pageexecute></a>($sql, $nrows, $page, $inputarr=false)</b>

<p><b>Close<a name=close></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Close the database connection. PHP4 proudly states that we no longer have to
clean up at the end of the connection because the reference counting mechanism
of PHP4 will automatically clean up for us.</p>
<p><b>StartTrans<a name=starttrans></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Start a monitored transaction. As SQL statements are executed, ADOdb will
monitor for SQL errors, and if any are detected, when CompleteTrans() is
called, we auto-rollback. </p>
<p>To understand why StartTrans() is superior to BeginTrans(), let us examine a
few ways of using BeginTrans(). The following is the wrong way to use
transactions: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>
$DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
$DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
$DB-&gt;CommitTrans();</pre></div>
<p>because you perform no error checking. It is possible to update table1 and
for the update on table2 to fail. Here is a better way: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>
$ok = $DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
if ($ok) $ok = $DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
if ($ok) $DB-&gt;CommitTrans();<br>
else $DB-&gt;RollbackTrans();</pre></div>
<p>Another way is (since ADOdb 2.0): </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$DB-&gt;BeginTrans();<br>
$ok = $DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
if ($ok) $ok = $DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
$DB-&gt;CommitTrans($ok);</pre></div>
<p>Now it is a headache monitoring $ok all over the place. StartTrans() is an
improvement because it monitors all SQL errors for you. This is particularly
useful if you are calling black-box functions in which SQL queries might be
executed. Also all BeginTrans, CommitTrans and RollbackTrans calls inside a
StartTrans block will be disabled, so even if the black box function does a
commit, it will be ignored. </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$DB-&gt;StartTrans();<br>
CallBlackBox();<br>
$DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table1 set val=$val1 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
$DB-&gt;Execute(&quot;update table2 set val=$val2 where id=$id&quot;);<br>
$DB-&gt;CompleteTrans();</pre></div>
<p>Note that a StartTrans blocks are nestable, the inner blocks are ignored. </p>
<p><b>CompleteTrans<a name=completetrans></a>($autoComplete=true)</b></p>
<p>Complete a transaction called with StartTrans(). This function monitors for
SQL errors, and will commit if no errors have occured, otherwise it will
rollback. Returns true on commit, false on rollback. If the parameter
$autoComplete is true monitor sql errors and commit and rollback as
appropriate. Set $autoComplete to false to force rollback even if no SQL error
detected. </p>
<p><b>FailTrans<a name=failtrans></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Fail a transaction started with StartTrans(). The rollback will only occur
when CompleteTrans() is called. </p>
<p><b>HasFailedTrans<a name=hasfailedtrans></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Check whether smart transaction has failed, eg. returns true if there was an
error in SQL execution or FailTrans() was called. If not within smart
transaction, returns false. </p>
<p><b>BeginTrans<a name=begintrans></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Begin a transaction. Turns off autoCommit. Returns true if successful. Some
databases will always return false if transaction support is not available. Any
open transactions will be rolled back when the connection is closed. Among the
databases that support transactions are Oracle, PostgreSQL, Interbase, MSSQL,
certain versions of MySQL, DB2, Informix, Sybase, etc.</p>
<p>Note that <a href="#starttrans">StartTrans()</a> and CompleteTrans() is a
superior method of handling transactions, available since ADOdb 3.40. For a
explanation, see the <a href="#starttrans">StartTrans()</a> documentation. </p>
<p>You can also use the ADOdb <a href="#errorhandling">error handler</a> to die
and rollback your transactions for you transparently. Some buggy database
extensions are known to commit all outstanding tranasactions, so you might want
to explicitly do a $DB-&gt;RollbackTrans() in your error handler for safety. </p>
<h4>Detecting Transactions</h4>
<p>Since ADOdb 2.50, you are able to detect when you are inside a transaction.
Check that $connection-&gt;transCnt &gt; 0. This variable is incremented whenever
BeginTrans() is called, and decremented whenever RollbackTrans() or
CommitTrans() is called. </p>
<p><b>CommitTrans<a name=committrans></a>($ok=true)</b></p>
<p>End a transaction successfully. Returns true if successful. If the database
does not support transactions, will return true also as data is always
committed. </p>
<p>If you pass the parameter $ok=false, the data is rolled back. See example in
BeginTrans().</p>
<p><b>RollbackTrans<a name=rollbacktrans></a>( )</b></p>
<p>End a transaction, rollback all changes. Returns true if successful. If the
database does not support transactions, will return false as data is never
rollbacked. </p>
<p><b>SetTransactionMode<a name=SetTransactionMode></a>($mode )</b></p>
<p>SetTransactionMode allows you to pass in the transaction mode to use for all
subsequent transactions. Note: if you have persistent connections and using
mssql or mysql, you might have to explicitly reset your transaction mode at the
beginning of each page request. This is only supported in postgresql, mssql,
mysql with InnoDB and oci8 currently. For example: </p>

<p><b>GetAssoc<a name=getassoc1></a>($sql,$inputarr=false,$force_array=false,$first2cols=false)</b></p>
<p>Returns an associative array for the given query $sql with optional bind
parameters in $inputarr. If the number of columns returned is greater to two, a
2-dimensional array is returned, with the first column of the recordset becomes
the keys to the rest of the rows. If the columns is equal to two, a 1-dimensional
array is created, where the the keys directly map to the values (unless
$force_array is set to true, when an array is created for each value). </p>
<p>Examples:<a name=getassocex></a></p>
<p>We have the following data in a recordset:</p>
<p>row1: Apple, Fruit, Edible<br>
row2: Cactus, Plant, Inedible<br>
row3: Rose, Flower, Edible</p>
<p>GetAssoc will generate the following 2-dimensional associative array:</p>
<p>Apple =&gt; array[Fruit, Edible]<br>
Cactus =&gt; array[Plant, Inedible]<br>
Rose =&gt; array[Flower,Edible]</p>
<p>If the dataset is:</p>
<p>row1: Apple, Fruit<br>
row2: Cactus, Plant<br>
row3: Rose, Flower </p>
<p>GetAssoc will generate the following 1-dimensional associative array (with
$force_array==false):</p>
<p>Apple =&gt; Fruit<br>
Cactus=&gt;Plant<br>
Rose=&gt;Flower </p>
<p>The function returns:</p>
<p>The associative array, or false if an error occurs.</p>
<p><b>CacheGetAssoc<a name=cachegetassoc></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql,$inputarr=false,$force_array=false,$first2cols=false)</b></p>
<p>Caching version of <a href="#getassoc1">GetAssoc</a> function above. </p>
<p><b>GetMedian<a name=getmedian></a>($table, $field, $where='')</b></p>
<p>Returns the median value of $field for $table. The $where clause is
optional. If used, make sure the WHERE is included, as in &quot;WHERE name &gt;
'A'&quot;. If an error occurs, false is returned. Since ADOdb 5.06 and PHP
4.991. </p>
<p><b>GetOne<a name=getone></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></p>
<p>Executes the SQL and returns the first field of the first row. The recordset
and remaining rows are discarded for you automatically. If an error occur,
false is returned; use ErrorNo() or ErrorMsg() to get the error details. Since
4.96/5.00, we return null if no records were found. And since 4.991/5.06, you
can have change the return value if no records are found using the global
variable $ADODB_GETONE_EOF: $ADODB_GETONE_EOF = false;</p>
<p><b>GetRow<a name=getrow></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></p>
<p>Executes the SQL and returns the first row as an array. The recordset and
remaining rows are discarded for you automatically. If no records are returned,
an empty array is returned. If an error occurs, false is returned.</p>
<p><b>GetAll<a name=getall></a>($sql,$inputarr=false)</b></p>
<p>Executes the SQL and returns the all the rows as a 2-dimensional array. The
recordset is discarded for you automatically. If an error occurs, false is
returned. <i>GetArray</i> is a synonym for <i>GetAll</i>.</p>
<p><b>GetCol<a name=getcol></a>($sql,$inputarr=false,$trim=false)</b></p>
<p>Executes the SQL and returns all elements of the first column as a
1-dimensional array. The recordset is discarded for you automatically. If an
error occurs, false is returned.</p>
<p><b>CacheGetOne<a name=cachegetone></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql,$inputarr=false),
CacheGetRow<a name=cachegetrow></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql,$inputarr=false),
CacheGetAll<a name=cachegetall></a>([$secs2cache,] $sql,$inputarr=false),
CacheGetCol<a name=cachegetcol></a>([$secs2cache,]
$sql,$inputarr=false,$trim=false)</b></p>
<p>Similar to above Get* functions, except that the recordset is serialized and
cached in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR directory for $secs2cache seconds. Good for
speeding up queries on rarely changing data. Note that the $secs2cache
parameter is optional. If omitted, we use the value in
$connection-&gt;cacheSecs (default is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour). </p>
<p><b>Prepare<a name=prepare></a>($sql )</b></p>
<p>Prepares (compiles) an SQL query for repeated execution. Bind parameters are
denoted by ?, except for the oci8 driver, which uses the traditional Oracle
:varname convention. </p>
<p>Returns an array containing the original sql statement in the first array
element; the remaining elements of the array are driver dependent. If there is
an error, or we are emulating Prepare( ), we return the original $sql string.
This is because all error-handling has been centralized in Execute( ).</p>
<p>Prepare( ) cannot be used with functions that use SQL query rewriting
techniques, e.g. PageExecute( ) and SelectLimit( ).</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'>$stmt = $DB-&gt;Prepare('insert into table (col1,col2) values (?,?)');<br>
for ($i=0; $i &lt; $max; $i++)<br>
<span style='mso-tab-count:1'><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> </span>$DB-&gt;Execute($stmt,array((string) rand(), $i));</pre></div>
<p>Also see InParameter(), OutParameter() and PrepareSP() below. Only supported
internally by interbase, oci8 and selected ODBC-based drivers, otherwise it is
emulated. There is no performance advantage to using Prepare() with emulation. </p>
<p>Important: Due to limitations or bugs in PHP, if you are getting errors when
you using prepared queries, try setting $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false before
preparing. This behaviour has been observed with ODBC. </p>
<p><b>IfNull<a name=ifnull></a>($field, $nullReplacementValue)</b></p>
<p>Portable IFNULL function (NVL in Oracle). Returns a string that represents
the function that checks whether a $field is null for the given database, and
if null, change the value returned to $nullReplacementValue. Eg.</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<p><b>length</b><a name=length></a></p>
<p>This is not a function, but a property. Some databases have
&quot;length&quot; and others &quot;len&quot; as the function to measure the
length of a string. To use this property: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD> </span>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);</pre></div>
<p><b>random</b><a name=random></a></p>
<p>This is not a function, but a property. This is a string that holds the sql
to generate a random number between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive. </p>
<p><b>substr</b><a name=substr></a></p>
<p>This is not a function, but a property. Some databases have
&quot;substr&quot; and others &quot;substring&quot; as the function to retrieve
a sub-string. To use this property: </p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'><EFBFBD> </span>$rs = $db-&gt;Execute($sql);</pre></div>
<p>For all databases, the 1st parameter of <i>substr</i> is the field, the 2nd
is the offset (1-based) to the beginning of the sub-string, and the 3rd is the
length of the sub-string. </p>
<p><b>Param<a name=param></a>($name)</b></p>
<p>Generates a bind placeholder portably. For most databases, the bind
placeholder is &quot;?&quot;. However some databases use named bind parameters
such as Oracle, eg &quot;:somevar&quot;. This allows us to portably define an
SQL statement with bind parameters: </p>

<p><b>PrepareSP<a name=preparesp></a>($sql, $cursor=false )</b></p>
<p>When calling stored procedures in mssql and oci8 (oracle), and you might
want to directly bind to parameters that return values, or for special LOB
handling. PrepareSP() allows you to do so. </p>
<p>Returns the same array or $sql string as Prepare( ) above. If you do not
need to bind to return values, you should use Prepare( ) instead.</p>
<p>The 2nd parameter, $cursor is not used except with oci8. Setting it to true
will force OCINewCursor to be called; this is to support output REF CURSORs. </p>
<p>For examples of usage of PrepareSP( ), see InParameter( ) below. </p>
<p>Note: in the mssql driver, preparing stored procedures requires a special
function call, mssql_init( ), which is called by this function. PrepareSP( ) is
available in all other drivers, and is emulated by calling Prepare( ). </p>
<p><b>InParameter<a name=inparameter></a>($stmt, $var, $name, $maxLen = 4000,

<p>Note that the only difference between the oci8 and mssql implementations is
$sql.</p>
<p>If $type parameter is set to false, in mssql, $type will be dynamicly
determined based on the type of the PHP variable passed <span style='font-family:
"Courier New"'>(string =&gt; SQLCHAR, boolean =&gt;SQLINT1, integer
=&gt;SQLINT4 or float/double=&gt;SQLFLT8)</span>. </p>
<p>In oci8, $type can be set to OCI_B_FILE (Binary-File), OCI_B_CFILE
(Character-File), OCI_B_CLOB (Character-LOB), OCI_B_BLOB (Binary-LOB) and
OCI_B_ROWID (ROWID). To pass in a null, use<span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>

<p class=MsoNormal>Binds a PHP variable as output from a stored procedure

<p>OutParameter() is a wrapper function that calls Parameter() with

<p><b>Parameter<a name=parameter></a>($stmt, $var, $name, $isOutput=false,
$maxLen = 4000, $type = false )</b></p>
<p>Note: This function is deprecated, because of the new InParameter() and
OutParameter() functions. These are superior because they are self-documenting,
unlike Parameter(). </p>
<p>Adds a bind parameter suitable for return values or special data handling
(eg. LOBs) after a statement has been prepared using PrepareSP(). Only for
mssql and oci8 currently. The parameters are:<br>
<br>
$<b><i>stmt</i></b> Statement returned by Prepare() or PrepareSP().<br>
$<b><i>var</i></b> PHP variable to bind to. Make sure you pre-initialize it!<br>
$<b><i>name</i></b> Name of stored procedure variable name to bind to.<br>
[$<b><i>isOutput</i></b>] Indicates direction of parameter 0/false=IN 1=OUT 2=
IN/OUT. This is ignored in oci8 as this driver auto-detects the direction.<br>
[$<b>maxLen</b>] Maximum length of the parameter variable.<br>
[$<b>type</b>] Consult <a href="http://php.net/mssql_bind">mssql_bind</a> and <a
href="http://php.net/ocibindbyname">ocibindbyname</a> docs at php.net for more
info on legal values for type.</p>
<p>Lastly, in oci8, bind parameters can be reused without calling PrepareSP( ) or
Parameters again. This is not possible with mssql. An oci8 example:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:

}</pre></div>
<p><b>Bind<a name=bind></a>($stmt, $var, $size=4001, $type=false, $name=false)</b></p>
<p>This is a low-level function supported only by the oci8 driver. <b>Avoid
using</b> unless you only want to support Oracle. The Parameter( ) function is
the recommended way to go with bind variables.</p>
<p>Bind( ) allows you to use bind variables in your sql statement. This binds a
PHP variable to a name defined in an Oracle sql statement that was previously
prepared using Prepare(). Oracle named variables begin with a colon, and ADOdb
requires the named variables be called :0, :1, :2, :3, etc. The first
invocation of Bind() will match :0, the second invocation will match :1, etc.
Binding can provide 100% speedups for insert, select and update statements. </p>
<p>The other variables, $size sets the buffer size for data storage, $type is
the optional descriptor type OCI_B_FILE (Binary-File), OCI_B_CFILE
(Character-File), OCI_B_CLOB (Character-LOB), OCI_B_BLOB (Binary-LOB) and
OCI_B_ROWID (ROWID). Lastly, instead of using the default :0, :1, etc names,
you can define your own bind-name using $name. </p>
<p>The following example shows 3 bind variables being used: p1, p2 and p3.
These variables are bound to :0, :1 and :2.</p>

<p>One limitation of logging is that rollback also prevents SQL from being
logged. </p>
<p>If you prefer to use another name for the table used to store the SQL, you
can override it by calling adodb_perf::table($tablename), where $tablename is
the new table name (you will still need to manually create the table yourself).

<p>The fnExecute function is called before the sql is parsed and executed, so
you can perform a query rewrite. If you are passing in a prepared statement,
then $sql is an array (see <a href="#prepare">Prepare</a>). The fnCacheExecute
function is only called if the recordset returned was cached. The function
parameters match the Execute and CacheExecute functions respectively, except
that $this (the connection object) is passed as the first parameter.</p>
<p>Since ADOdb 3.91, the behaviour of fnExecute varies depending on whether the
defined function returns a value. If it does not return a value, then the $sql
is executed as before. This is useful for query rewriting or counting sql
queries. </p>
<p>On the other hand, you might want to replace the Execute function with one
of your own design. If this is the case, then have your function return a
value. If a value is returned, that value is returned immediately, without any
further processing. This is used internally by ADOdb to implement LogSQL()
functionality. </p>

<h3>ADOConnection Utility Functions</h3>
<p><b>BlankRecordSet<a name=blankrecordset></a>([$queryid])</b></p>
<p>No longer available - removed since 1.99.</p>
<p><b>Concat<a name=concat></a>($s1,$s2,....)</b></p>
<p>Generates the sql string used to concatenate $s1, $s2, etc together. Uses
the string in the concat_operator field to generate the concatenation. Override
this function if a concatenation operator is not used, eg. MySQL.</p>
<p>Returns the concatenated string.</p>
<p><b>DBDate<a name=dbdate></a>($date)</b></p>
<p>Format the $<b>date</b> in the format the database accepts - the return
string is also quoted. This is used when you are sending dates to the database
(eg INSERT, UPDATE or where clause of SELECT statement). The $<b>date</b>
parameter can be a PHP DateTime object (since ADOdb 5.09), a Unix integer timestamp or an ISO format Y-m-d. Uses the
fmtDate field, which holds the format to use. If null or false or '' is passed
in, it will be converted to an SQL null.</p>
<p>Returns the date as a quoted string.</p>

<p>Format the timestamp $<b>ts</b> in the format the database accepts; this can
be a PHP DateTime object (since ADOdb 5.09), a Unix integer timestamp or an ISO format Y-m-d H:i:s. Uses the fmtTimeStamp
field, which holds the format to use. If null or false or '' is passed in, it
will be converted to an SQL null.</p>

<p><b>qstr<a name=qstr></a>($s,[$magic_quotes_enabled</b>=false]<b>)</b></p>
<p>Quotes a string to be sent to the database. The $<b>magic_quotes_enabled</b>
parameter may look funny, but the idea is if you are quoting a string extracted
from a POST/GET variable, then pass get_magic_quotes_gpc() as the second
parameter. This will ensure that the variable is not quoted twice, once by <i>qstr</i>
and once by the <i>magic_quotes_gpc</i>.</p>

<p><b>Quote<a name=quote></a>($s)</b></p>
<p>Quotes the string $s, escaping the database specific quote character as
appropriate. Formerly checked magic quotes setting, but this was disabled since
3.31 for compatibility with PEAR DB. </p>
<p><b>Affected_Rows<a name="affected_rows"></a>( )</b></p>

<p><b>Insert_ID<a name="inserted_id"></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Returns the last autonumbering ID inserted. Returns false if function not

<p>Supported in db2, interbase, informix, mssql, oci8, postgres, sybase. </p>
<p><b>MetaDatabases<a name=metadatabases></a>()</b></p>
<p>Returns a list of databases available on the server as an array. You have to
connect to the server first. Only available for ODBC, MySQL and ADO.</p>
<p><b>MetaTables<a name=metatables></a>($ttype = false, $showSchema = false,
$mask=false)</b></p>
<p>Returns an array of tables and views for the current database as an array.
The array should exclude system catalog tables if possible. To only show
tables, use $db-&gt;MetaTables('TABLES'). To show only views, use
$db-&gt;MetaTables('VIEWS'). The $showSchema parameter currently works only for
DB2, and when set to true, will add the schema name to the table, eg.
&quot;SCHEMA.TABLE&quot;. </p>
<p>You can define a mask for matching. For example, setting $mask = 'TMP%' will
match all tables that begin with 'TMP'. Currently only mssql, oci8, odbc_mssql
and postgres* support $mask. </p>
<p><b>MetaColumns<a name=metacolumns></a>($table,$notcasesensitive=true)</b></p>
<p>Returns an array of ADOFieldObject's, one field object for every column of
$table. A field object is a class instance with (name, type, max_length)
defined. Currently Sybase does not recognise date types, and ADO cannot
identify the correct data type (so we default to varchar). </p>
<p>The $notcasesensitive parameter determines whether we uppercase or lowercase
the table name to normalize it (required for some databases). Does not work
with MySQL ISAM tables. </p>
<p>For schema support, pass in the $table parameter,
&quot;$schema.$tablename&quot;. This is only supported for selected databases. </p>
<p><b>MetaColumnNames<a name=metacolumnames></a>($table,$numericIndex=false)</b></p>
<p>Returns an array of column names for $table. Since ADOdb 4.22, this is an
associative array, with the keys in uppercase. Set $numericIndex=true if you
want the old behaviour of numeric indexes (since 4.23). </p>
<p>e.g. array('FIELD1' =&gt; 'Field1', 'FIELD2'=&gt;'Field2') </p>
<p><b>MetaPrimaryKeys<a name=metaprimarykeys></a>($table, $owner=false)</b> </p>
<p>Returns an array containing column names that are the primary keys of
$table. Supported by mysql, odbc (including db2, odbc_mssql, etc), mssql,
postgres, interbase/firebird, oci8 currently. </p>
<p>Views (and some tables) have primary keys, but sometimes this information is
not available from the database. You can define a function
ADODB_View_PrimaryKeys($databaseType, $database, $view, $owner) that should
return an array containing the fields that make up the primary key. If that
function exists, it will be called when MetaPrimaryKeys() cannot find a primary
key for a table or view. </p>

<p>Returns an array of containing two elements 'description' and 'version'. The
'description' element contains the string description of the database. The
'version' naturally holds the version number (which is also a string).</p>
<p><b>MetaForeignKeys<a name=metaforeignkeys></a>($table, $owner=false,

<h2>ADORecordSet<a name=adorecordset></a></h2>
<p>When an SQL statement successfully is executed by <span style='font-family:
"Courier New"'>ADOConnection-&gt;Execute($sql),</span>an ADORecordSet object is
returned. This object contains a virtual cursor so we can move from row to row,
functions to obtain information about the columns and column types, and helper
functions to deal with formating the results to show to the user.</p>
<h3>ADORecordSet Fields</h3>
<p><b>fields: </b>Array containing the current row. This is not associative,
but is an indexed array from 0 to columns-1. See also the function <b><a
href="#fields">Fields</a></b>, which behaves like an associative array.</p>
<p><b>dataProvider</b>: The underlying mechanism used to connect to the
database. Normally set to <b>native</b>, unless using <b>odbc</b> or <b>ado</b>.</p>
<p><b>blobSize</b>: Maximum size of a char, string or varchar object before it
is treated as a Blob (Blob's should be shown with textarea's). See the <a
href="#metatype">MetaType</a> function.</p>
<p><b>sql</b>: Holds the sql statement used to generate this record set.</p>
<p><b>canSeek</b>: Set to true if Move( ) function works.</p>
<p><b>EOF</b>: True if we have scrolled the cursor past the last record.</p>
<h3>ADORecordSet Functions</h3>
<p><b>ADORecordSet( )</b></p>
<p>Constructer. Normally you never call this function yourself.</p>
<p><b>GetAssoc<a name=getassoc></a>([$force_array])</b></p>
<p>Generates an associative array from the recordset. Note that is this
function is also <a href="#getassoc1">available</a> in the connection object.
More details can be found there.</p>
<p><b>GetArray<a name=getarray></a>([$number_of_rows])</b></p>
<p>Generate a 2-dimensional array of records from the current cursor position,
indexed from 0 to $number_of_rows - 1. If $number_of_rows is undefined, till
EOF.</p>
<p><b>GetRows<a name=getrows></a>([$number_of_rows])</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Generate a 2-dimensional array of records from the current
cursor position. Synonym for GetArray() for compatibility with Microsoft ADO. </p>
<p><b>GetMenu<a name=getmenu></a>($name, [$default_str=''],
[$blank1stItem=true], [$multiple_select=false], [$size=0], [$moreAttr=''])</b></p>
<p>Generate a HTML menu
(&lt;select&gt;&lt;option&gt;&lt;option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;). The first column
of the recordset (fields[0]) will hold the string to display in the option
tags. If the recordset has more than 1 column, the second column (fields[1]) is
the value to send back to the web server.. The menu will be given the name $<i>name</i>.
</p>
<p>If $<i>default_str</i> is defined, then if $<i>default_str</i> == fields[0],
that field is selected. If $<i>blank1stItem</i> is true, the first option is
empty. You can also set the first option strings by setting $blank1stItem =
&quot;$value:$text&quot;.</p>
<p>$<i>Default_str</i> can be array for a multiple select listbox.</p>
<p>To get a listbox, set the $<i>size</i> to a non-zero value (or pass
$default_str as an array). If $<i>multiple_select</i> is true then a listbox
will be generated with $<i>size</i> items (or if $size==0, then 5 items)
visible, and we will return an array to a server. Lastly use $<i>moreAttr </i>to
add additional attributes such as javascript or styles. </p>
<p>Menu Example 1: <code><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>GetMenu('menu1','A',true)</span></code>
will generate a menu: <SELECT NAME="menu1">
<OPTION>
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="1">A
<OPTION VALUE="2">B
<OPTION VALUE="3">C
</SELECT>for
the data (A,1), (B,2), (C,3). Also see <a href="#ex5">example 5</a>.</p>
<p>Menu Example 2: For the same data, <code><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>GetMenu('menu1',array('A','B'),false)</span></code>
will generate a menu with both A and B selected: <br>
<SELECT MULTIPLE NAME="menu1" SIZE="3">
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="1">A
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="2">B
<OPTION VALUE="3">C
</SELECT></p>
<p><b>GetMenu2<a name=getmenu2></a>($name, [$default_str=''],
[$blank1stItem=true], [$multiple_select=false], [$size=0], [$moreAttr=''])</b></p>
<p>This is nearly identical to GetMenu, except that the $<i>default_str</i> is
matched to fields[1] (the option values).</p>
<p>Menu Example 3: Given the data in menu example 2, <code><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>GetMenu2('menu1',array('1','2'),false)</span></code>
will generate a menu with both A and B selected in menu example 2, but this
time the selection is based on the 2nd column, which holds the values to return
to the Web server. </p>
<p><b>UserDate<a name=userdate></a>($str, [$fmt])</b></p>
<p>Converts the date string $<i>str</i> to another format. The date format is
Y-m-d, or Unix timestamp format. The default $<i>fmt</i> is Y-m-d.</p>
<p><b>UserTimeStamp<a name=usertimestamp></a>($str, [$fmt])</b></p>
<p>Converts the timestamp string $<b>str</b> to another format. The timestamp
format is Y-m-d H:i:s, as in '2002-02-28 23:00:12', or Unix timestamp format.
UserTimeStamp calls UnixTimeStamp to parse $<i>str</i>, and $<i>fmt</i>
defaults to Y-m-d H:i:s if not defined. </p>
<p><b>UnixDate<a name=unixdate></a>($str)</b></p>
<p>Parses the date string $<b>str</b> and returns it in unix mktime format (eg.
a number indicating the seconds after January 1st, 1970). Expects the date to
be in Y-m-d H:i:s format, except for Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server, where M d
Y is also accepted (the 3 letter month strings are controlled by a global
array, which might need localisation).</p>
<p>This function is available in both ADORecordSet and ADOConnection since
1.91.</p>
<p><b>UnixTimeStamp<a name=unixtimestamp></a>($str)</b></p>
<p>Parses the timestamp string $<b>str</b> and returns it in unix mktime format
(eg. a number indicating the seconds after January 1st, 1970). Expects the date
to be in &quot;Y-m-d, H:i:s&quot; (1970-12-24, 00:00:00) or &quot;Y-m-d
H:i:s&quot; (1970-12-24 00:00:00) or &quot;YmdHis&quot; (19701225000000)
format, except for Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server, where &quot;M d Y
h:i:sA&quot; (Dec 25 1970 00:00:00AM) is also accepted (the 3 letter month
strings are controlled by a global array, which might need localisation).</p>
<p>This function is available in both ADORecordSet and ADOConnection since
1.91. </p>
<p><b>OffsetDate<a name=OffsetDate></a>($dayFraction, $basedate=false)</b></p>
<p>Returns a string with the native SQL functions to calculate future and past
dates based on $basedate in a portable fashion. If $basedate is not defined,
then the current date (at 12 midnight) is used. Returns the SQL string that
performs the calculation when passed to Execute(). </p>
<p>For example, in Oracle, to find the date and time that is 2.5 days from
today, you can use:</p>
<div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:solid #DDDDDD 1.0pt;mso-border-alt:
solid #DDDDDD .75pt;padding:9.0pt 18.0pt 9.0pt 18.0pt;background:#EEEEEE'><pre
style='background:#EEEEEE'># get date one week from now<br>
$fld = $conn-&gt;OffsetDate(7); // returns &quot;(trunc(sysdate)+7&quot;)</pre><pre># get date and time that is 60 hours from current date and time<br>
$fld = $conn-&gt;OffsetDate(2.5, $conn-&gt;sysTimeStamp);<span
style='mso-tab-count:1'> </span>// returns &quot;(sysdate+2.5)&quot;<br>
<br>
$conn-&gt;Execute(&quot;UPDATE TABLE SET dodate=$fld WHERE ID=$id&quot;);</pre></div>
<p>This function is available for mysql, mssql, oracle, oci8 and postgresql
drivers since 2.13. It might work with other drivers provided they allow
performing numeric day arithmetic on dates.</p>
<p><b>SQLDate<a name=sqldate></a>($dateFormat, $basedate=false)</b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Returns a string which contains the native SQL functions to
format a date or date column $basedate. This is used when retrieving date
columns in SELECT statements. For sending dates to the database (eg. in UPDATE,
INSERT or the where clause of SELECT statements) use <a href="#dbdate">DBDate</a>.
It uses a case-sensitive $dateFormat, which supports: </p>

<p><b>MoveNext<a name=movenext></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Move the internal cursor to the next row. The <i>$this-&gt;fields</i> array
is automatically updated. Returns false if unable to do so (normally because
EOF has been reached), otherwise true. </p>
<p>If EOF is reached, then the $this-&gt;fields array is set to false (this was
only implemented consistently in ADOdb 3.30). For the pre-3.30 behaviour of

<p><b>Move<a name=move></a>($to)</b></p>
<p>Moves the internal cursor to a specific row $<b>to</b>. Rows are zero-based
eg. 0 is the first row. The <b>fields</b> array is automatically updated. For
databases that do not support scrolling internally, ADOdb will simulate forward
scrolling. Some databases do not support backward scrolling. If the $<b>to</b>
position is after the EOF, $<b>to</b> will move to the end of the RecordSet for
most databases. Some obscure databases using odbc might not behave this way.</p>
<p>Note: This function uses <i>absolute positioning</i>, unlike Microsoft's
ADO.</p>
<p>Returns true or false. If false, the internal cursor is not moved in most
implementations, so AbsolutePosition( ) will return the last cursor position
before the Move( ). </p>
<p><b>MoveFirst<a name=movefirst></a>()</b></p>
<p>Internally calls Move(0). Note that some databases do not support this function.</p>
<p><b>MoveLast<a name=movelast></a>()</b></p>
<p>Internally calls Move(RecordCount()-1). Note that some databases do not
support this function.</p>
<p><b>GetRowAssoc</b><a name=getrowassoc></a>($toUpper=true)</p>
<p>Returns an associative array containing the current row. The keys to the
array are the column names. The column names are upper-cased for easy access.
To get the next row, you will still need to call MoveNext(). </p>
<p>For example:<br>
Array ( [ID] =&gt; 1 [FIRSTNAME] =&gt; Caroline [LASTNAME] =&gt; Miranda
[CREATED] =&gt; 2001-07-05 ) </p>
<p>Note: do not use GetRowAssoc() with $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC.
Because they have the same functionality, they will interfere with each other.</p>
<p><b>AbsolutePage<a name=absolutepage></a>($page=-1) </b></p>
<p>Returns the current page. Requires PageExecute()/CachePageExecute() to be
called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
<p><b>AtFirstPage<a name=atfirstpage>($status='')</a></b><span
style='mso-bookmark:atfirstpage'></span></p>
<p>Returns true if at first page (1-based). Requires
PageExecute()/CachePageExecute() to be called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
<p><b>AtLastPage<a name=atlastpage>($status='')</a></b><span style='mso-bookmark:
atlastpage'></span></p>
<p>Returns true if at last page (1-based). Requires
PageExecute()/CachePageExecute() to be called. See <a href="#ex8">Example 8</a>.</p>
<p><b>Fields</b><a name=fields></a>(<b>$colname</b>)</p>
<p>Returns the value of the associated column $<b>colname</b> for the current
row. The column name is case-insensitive.</p>
<p>This is a convenience function. For higher performance, use <a
href="#adodb_fetch_mode">$ADODB_FETCH_MODE</a>. </p>
<p><b>FetchRow</b><a name=fetchrow></a>()</p>
<p>Returns array containing current row, or false if EOF. FetchRow( )
internally moves to the next record after returning the current row. </p>
<p>Warning: Do not mix using FetchRow() with MoveNext().</p>
<p>Usage:</p>

<p><b>FetchInto</b><a name=fetchinto></a>(<b>&amp;$array</b>)</p>
<p>Sets $array to the current row. Returns PEAR_Error object if EOF, 1 if ok
(DB_OK constant). If PEAR is undefined, false is returned when EOF. FetchInto(
) internally moves to the next record after returning the current row. </p>
<p>FetchRow() is easier to use. See above.</p>
<p><b>FetchField<a name=fetchfield></a>($column_number)</b></p>
<p>Returns an object containing the <b>name</b>, <b>type</b> and <b>max_length</b>
of the associated field. If the max_length cannot be determined reliably, it
will be set to -1. The column numbers are zero-based. See <a href="#ex2">example
2.</a></p>
<p><b>FieldCount<a name=fieldcount></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Returns the number of fields (columns) in the record set.</p>
<p><b>RecordCount<a name=recordcount></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Returns the number of rows in the record set. If the number of records
returned cannot be determined from the database driver API, we will buffer all
rows and return a count of the rows after all the records have been retrieved.
This buffering can be disabled (for performance reasons) by setting the global
variable $ADODB_COUNTRECS = false. When disabled, RecordCount( ) will return -1
for certain databases. See the supported databases list above for more details.
</p>
<p>RowCount is a synonym for RecordCount.</p>
<p><b>PO_RecordCount<a name="po_recordcount"></a>($table, $where)</b></p>
<p>Returns the number of rows in the record set. If the database does not
support this, it will perform a SELECT COUNT(*) on the table $table, with the
given $where condition to return an estimate of the recordset size.</p>
<p>$numrows = $rs-&gt;PO_RecordCount(&quot;articles_table&quot;,
&quot;group=$group&quot;);</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>NextRecordSet<a name=nextrecordset id=nextrecordset></a>()</b>

<p>For databases that allow multiple recordsets to be returned in one query,
this function allows you to switch to the next recordset. Currently only
supported by mssql driver.</p>

recommended way of accessing rows as objects. See below.</p>
<p><b>FetchNextObject<a name=fetchnextobject></a>($toupper=true)</b></p>
<p>Gets the current row as an object and moves to the next row automatically.
Returns false if at end-of-file. If you set $toupper to true, then the object
fields are set to upper-case. Note that for some drivers such as mssql, you
need to SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC) or SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_BOTH).</p>

<p>There is some trade-off in speed in using FetchNextObject(). If performance
is important, you should access rows with the <code><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>fields[]</span></code> array. <b>FetchObj<a name=fetchobj id=fetchobj></a>()</b>
</p>
<p>Returns the current record as an object. Fields are not upper-cased, unlike
FetchObject. </p>
<p><b>FetchNextObj<a name=fetchnextobj id=fetchnextobj></a>()</b> </p>

<p><b>CurrentRow<a name=currentrow></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Returns the current row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
<p><b>AbsolutePosition<a name=abspos></a>( )</b></p>
<p>Synonym for <b>CurrentRow</b> for compatibility with ADO. Returns the
current row of the record set. 0 is the first row.</p>
<p><b>MetaType<a name=metatype></a>($nativeDBType[,$field_max_length],[$fieldobj])</b></p>
<p>Determine what <i>generic</i> meta type a database field type is given its
native type $<b>nativeDBType</b> as a string and the length of the field $<b>field_max_length</b>.
Note that field_max_length can be -1 if it is not known. The field object
returned by FetchField() can be passed in $<b>fieldobj</b> or as the 1st
parameter <b>$nativeDBType</b>. This is useful for databases such as <i>mysql</i>
which has additional properties in the field object such as <i>primary_key</i>.
</p>
<p>Uses the field <b>blobSize</b> and compares it with $<b>field_max_length</b>
to determine whether the character field is actually a blob.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For example, $db-&gt;MetaType('char') will return 'C'. </p>
<p>Returns:</p>

<p>If memory management is not an issue, you do not need to call this function
as recordsets are closed for you by PHP at the end of the script. SQL
statements such as INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE do not really return a recordset, so you
do not have to call Close() for such SQL statements.</p>

<p>This is a standalone function (rs2html = recordset to html) that is similar
to PHP's <i>odbc_result_all</i> function, it prints a ADORecordSet, $<b>adorecordset</b>
as a HTML table. $<b>tableheader_attributes</b> allow you to control the table <i>cellpadding</i>,
<i>cellspacing</i> and <i>border</i> attributes. Lastly you can replace the
database column names with your own column titles with the array $<b>col_titles</b>.
This is designed more as a quick debugging mechanism, not a production table
recordset viewer.</p>

<h1>Database Driver Guide<a name=driverguide></a></h1>
<p>This describes how to create a class to connect to a new database. To ensure
there is no duplication of work, kindly email me at jlim#natsoft.com if you
decide to create such a class.</p>
<p>First decide on a name in lower case to call the database type. Let's say we
call it xbase. </p>
<p>Then we need to create two classes ADODB_xbase and ADORecordSet_xbase in the
file adodb-xbase.inc.php.</p>
<p>The simplest form of database driver is an adaptation of an existing ODBC
driver. Then we just need to create the class <i>ADODB_xbase extends ADODB_odbc</i>
to support the new <b>date</b> and <b>timestamp</b> formats, the <b>concatenation</b>
operator used, <b>true</b> and <b>false</b>. For the<i> ADORecordSet_xbase
extends ADORecordSet_odbc </i>we need to change the <b>MetaType</b> function.
See<b> adodb-vfp.inc.php</b> as an example.</p>
<p>More complicated is a totally new database driver that connects to a new PHP
extension. Then you will need to implement several functions. Fortunately, you
do not have to modify most of the complex code. You only need to override a few
stub functions. See <b>adodb-mysql.inc.php</b> for example.</p>
<p>The default date format of ADOdb internally is YYYY-MM-DD (Ansi-92). All
dates should be converted to that format when passing to an ADOdb date
function. See Oracle for an example how we use ALTER SESSION to change the
default date format in _pconnect _connect.</p>
<p><b>ADOConnection Functions to Override</b></p>
<p>Defining a constructor for your ADOConnection derived function is optional.
There is no need to call the base class constructor.</p>
<p>_<b>connect</b>: Low level implementation of Connect. Returns true or false.
Should set the _<b>connectionID</b>.</p>
<p>_<b>pconnect:</b> Low level implemention of PConnect. Returns true or false.
Should set the _<b>connectionID</b>.</p>
<p>_<b>query</b>: Execute a query. Returns the queryID, or false.</p>
<p>_<b>close: </b>Close the connection -- PHP should clean up all recordsets. </p>
<p><b>ErrorMsg</b>: Stores the error message in the private variable _errorMsg.
</p>
<p><b>ADOConnection Fields to Set</b></p>
<p>_<b>bindInputArray</b>: Set to true if binding of parameters for SQL inserts
and updates is allowed using ?, eg. as with ODBC.</p>
<p><b>fmtDate</b></p>
<p><b>fmtTimeStamp</b></p>
<p><b>true</b></p>
<p><b>false</b></p>
<p><b>concat_operator</b></p>
<p><b>replaceQuote</b></p>
<p><b>hasLimit</b> support SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 10 of MySQL.</p>
<p><b>hasTop</b> support Microsoft style SELECT TOP 10 * FROM TABLE.</p>
<p><b>ADORecordSet Functions to Override</b></p>
<p>You will need to define a constructor for your ADORecordSet derived class
that calls the parent class constructor.</p>
<p><b>FetchField: </b>as documented above in ADORecordSet</p>
<p>_<b>initrs</b>: low level initialization of the recordset: setup the _<b>numOfRows</b>
and _<b>numOfFields</b> fields -- called by the constructor.</p>
<p>_<b>seek</b>: seek to a particular row. Do not load the data into the fields
array. This is done by _fetch. Returns true or false. Note that some
implementations such as Interbase do not support seek. Set canSeek to false.</p>
<p>_<b>fetch</b>: fetch a row using the database extension function and then
move to the next row. Sets the <b>fields</b> array. If the parameter
$ignore_fields is true then there is no need to populate the <b>fields</b>
array, just move to the next row. then Returns true or false.</p>
<p>_<b>close</b>: close the recordset</p>
<p><b>Fields</b>: If the array row returned by the PHP extension is not an
associative one, you will have to override this. See adodb-odbc.inc.php for an
example. For databases such as MySQL and MSSQL where an associative array is
returned, there is no need to override this function.</p>
<p><b>ADOConnection Fields to Set</b></p>
<p>canSeek: Set to true if the _seek function works.</p>

<h2>Change Log<a name=changes></a><a name=changelog></a></h2>
<p><a name=5.11></a><b>5.11 5 May 2010</b> </p>
<p>mysql: Fixed GetOne() to return null if no records returned.
<p>oci8 perf: added stats on sga, rman, memory usage, and flash in performance tab.
<p>odbtp: Now you can define password in $password field of Connect()/PConnect(), and it will add it to DSN.
<p>Datadict: altering columns did not consider the scale of the column. Now it does.
<p>mssql: Fixed problem with ADODB_CASE_ASSOC causing multiple versions of column name appearing in recordset fields.
<p>oci8: Added missing & to refLob.
<p>oci8: Added obj->scale to FetchField().
<p>oci8: Now you can get column info of a table in a different schema, e.g. MetaColumns("schema.table") is supported.
<p>odbc_mssql: Fixed missing $metaDatabasesSQL.
<p>xmlschema: Changed declaration of create() to create($xmls) to fix compat problems. Also changed constructor adoSchema() to pass in variable instead of variable reference.
<p>ado5: Fixed ado5 exceptions to only display errors when $this->debug=true;
<p>Added DSN support to sessions2.inc.php.
<p>adodb-lib.inc.php. Fixed issue with _adodb_getcount() not using $secs2cache parameter.
<p>adodb active record. Fixed caching bug. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18288.
<p>db2: fixed ServerInfo().
<p>adodb_date: Added support for format 'e' for TZ as in adodb_date('e')
<p>Active Record: If you have a field which is a string field (with numbers in) and you add preceding 0's to it the adodb library does not pick up the fact that the field has changed because of the way php's == works (dodgily). The end result is that it never gets updated into the database - fix by Matthew Forrester (MediaEquals). [matthew.forrester#mediaequals.com]
<p>Fixes RowLock() and MetaIndexes() inconsistencies. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18236
<p>Active record support for postgrseql boolean. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18246
<p>By default, Execute 2D array is disabled for security reasons. Set $conn->bulkBind = true to enable. See http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18270. Note this breaks backward compat.
<P>MSSQL: fixes for 5.2 compat. http://phplens.com/lens/lensforum/msgs.php?id=18325
<p>Changed Version() to return a string instead of a float so it correctly returns 5.10 instead of 5.1.
<p><a name=5.10></a><b>5.10 10 Nov 2009</b> </p>
<p>Fixed memcache to properly support $rs->timeCreated.
<p>adodb-ado.inc.php: Added BigInt support for PHP5. Will return float instead to support large numbers. Thx nasb#mail.goo.ne.jp.

NULL and then altered to NOT NULL<br>
- AlterColumnSQL could not change a varchar column with numbers into an integer
column, postgres need an explicit conversation<br>
- a re-created sequence was not set to the correct value, if the name was the
old name (no implicit sequence), now always the new name of the implicit
sequence is used</p>

<p>Perf monitoring with odbc improved. Now we try in perf code to manually set
the sysTimeStamp using date() if sysTimeStamp is empty. </p>
<p>All <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">ADO</st1:place></st1:City>
errors are thrown as exceptions in PHP5. So we added exception handling to ado
in PHP5 by creating new adodb-ado5.inc.php driver. </p>
<p>Added IsConnected(). Returns true if connection object connected. By
Luca.Gioppo. </p>
<p>&quot;Ralf Becker&quot; RalfBecker#digitalROCK.de contributed new sapdb
data-dictionary driver and a large patch that implements field and table
renaming for oracle, mssql, postgresql, mysql and sapdb. See the new RenameTableSQL()
and RenameColumnSQL() functions. </p>
<p>We now check ExecuteCursor to see if PrepareSP was initially called. </p>
<p>Changed oci8 datadict to use MODIFY for $dd-&gt;alterCol. Thx Mark Newnham. </p>
<p><a name=4.52></a><b>4.52 10 Aug 2004</b> </p>
<p>Bug found in Replace() when performance logging enabled, introduced in ADOdb

<p>Added adodb-xmlschema 1.0.2. Thx dan and richard. </p>
<p>Added new adorecordset_ext_* classes. If ADOdb extension installed for
mysql, mysqlt and oci8 (but not oci8po), we use the superfast ADOdb extension
code for movenext. </p>
<p>Added schema support to mssql and odbc_mssql MetaPrimaryKeys(). </p>
<p>Patched MSSQL driver to support PHP NULL and Boolean values while binding
the input array parameters in the _query() function. By Stephen Farmer. </p>
<p>Added support for clob's for mssql, UpdateBlob(). Thx to
gfran#directa.com.br </p>

<p>PHP5 variant dates in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">ADO</st1:place></st1:City>
not working. Fixed in adodb-ado.inc.php. </p>

<p>Optimizations to MoveNext() for mysql and oci8. Misc speedups to Get*
functions. </p>
<p><a name=4.50></a><b>4.50 6 July 2004</b> </p>
<p>Bumped it to 4.50 to avoid confusion with PHP 4.3.x series. </p>
<p>Added db2 metatables and metacolumns extensions. </p>
<p>Added alpha PDO driver. Very buggy, only works with odbc. </p>

Reported Dmytro Sychevsky sych#php.com.ua. Fixed. </p>
<p>MetaTables() for mysql, $showschema parameter was not backward compatible
with older versions of adodb. Fixed. </p>
<p>Changed mysql GetOne() to work with mysql 3.23 when using with non-select
stmts (e.g. SHOW TABLES). </p>
<p>Changed TRIG_ prefix to a variable in datadict-oci8.inc.php. Thx to
Luca.Gioppo#csi.it. </p>
<p>New to adodb-time code. We allow you to define your own daylights savings
function, adodb_daylight_sv for pre-1970 dates. If the function is defined
(somewhere in an include), then you can correct for daylights savings. See
http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/node/view/16#daylightsavings for more info. </p>
<p>New sqlitepo driver. This is because assoc mode does not work like other
drivers in sqlite. Namely, when selecting (joining) multiple tables, in assoc
mode the table names are included in the assoc keys in the &quot;sqlite&quot;
driver. In &quot;sqlitepo&quot; driver, the table names are stripped from the
returned column names. When this results in a conflict, the first field get
preference. Contributed by Herman Kuiper herman#ozuzo.net </p>
<p>Added $forcenull parameter to GetInsertSQL/GetUpdateSQL. Idea by Marco
Aurelio Silva. </p>
<p>More XHTML changes for GetMenu. By Jeremy Evans. </p>
<p>Fixes some ibase date issues. Thx to stefan bogdan. </p>
<p>Improvements to mysqli driver to support $ADODB_COUNTRECS. </p>

to poll stream continiously. </p>
<p><a name=4.23></a><b>4.23 16 June 2004</b> </p>
<p>New interbase/firebird fixes thx to Lester Caine. Driver fixes a problem
with getting field names in the result array, and corrects a couple of data
conversions. Also we default to dialect3 for firebird. Also ibase sysDate
property was wrong. Changed to cast as timestamp. </p>
<p>The datadict driver is set up to give quoted tables and fields as this was
the only way round reserved words being used as field names in TikiWiki.
TikiPro is tidying that up, and I hope to be able to produce a build of THAT
which uses what I consider proper UPPERCASE field and table names. The
conversion of TikiWiki to ADOdb helped in that, but until the database is
completely tidied up in TikiPro ... </p>
<p>Modified _gencachename() to include fetchmode in name hash. This means you
should clear your cache directory after installing this release as the cache
name algorithm has changed. </p>
<p>Now Cache* functions work in safe mode, because we do not create
sub-directories in the $ADODB_CACHE_DIR in safe mode. In non-safe mode we still
create sub-directories. Done by modifying _gencachename(). </p>
<p>Added $gmt parameter (true/false) to UserDate and UserTimeStamp in
connection class, to force conversion of input (in local time) to be converted
to UTC/GMT. </p>
<p>Mssql datadict did not support INT types properly (no size param allowed).
Added _GetSize() to datadict-mssql.inc.php. </p>
<p>For borland_ibase, BeginTrans(), changed:</p>
