fbsql_pconnect

Open a persistent connection to a FrontBase Server

&reftitle.description; `resource` `fbsql_pconnect` `string` `hostname` ini_get("fbsql.default_host") `string` `username` ini_get("fbsql.default_user") `string` `password` ini_get("fbsql.default_password")

Establishes a persistent connection to a FrontBase server.

To set the server port number, use `fbsql_select_db`.

`fbsql_pconnect` acts very much like `fbsql_connect` with two major differences:

First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.

Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use.

This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'.
