PHP Manual: Send an unbuffered SQL query to Ingres

Description

mixed ingres_unbuffered_query ( resource $link , string $query [, array $params [, string $types ]] )

ingres_unbuffered_query sends the given query to the Ingres server.

The query becomes part of the currently open transaction. If there is no open transaction, ingres_unbuffered_query opens a new transaction. To close the transaction, you can call either ingres_commit to commit the changes made to the database or ingres_rollback to cancel these changes. When the script ends, any open transaction is rolled back (by calling ingres_rollback). You can also use ingres_autocommit before opening a new transaction to have every SQL query immediately committed. Ingres allows only a single unbuffered statement to be active at any one time. The extension will close any active unbuffered statements before executing any SQL. In addition you cannot use ingres_result_seek to position the row before fetching.

Parameters

link

The connection link identifier

query

A valid SQL query (see the Ingres SQL reference guide) in the Ingres documentation. See the query parameter in ingres_query for a list of SQL statements that cannot be executed via ingres_unbuffered_query.

Data inside the query should be properly escaped.

params

An array of parameter values to be used with the query

types

A string containing a sequence of types for the parameter values passed. See the types parameter in ingres_query for the list of type codes.

Return Values

ingres_unbuffered_query returns a query result identifier when there are rows to fetch; else it returns FALSE when there are no rows, as is the case of an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. To see if an error occurred, use ingres_errno, ingres_error, or ingres_errsqlstate.

Examples

Example #1 Issue a simple un-buffered select


<?php
$link = ingres_connect("demodb");

$result = ingres_unbuffered_query($link, "select * from user_profile");
while ($row = ingres_fetch_row($result)) {
    echo $row[1];
    echo $row[2];
}
?>

Example #2 Passing query parameters to ingres_unbuffered_query


<?php
$link = ingres_connect("demodb");

$params[] = "Emma";
$query = "select * from user_profile where up_first = ?";
$result = ingres_unbuffered_query($link, $query, $params);
while ($row = ingres_fetch_row($result)) {
    echo $row[1];
    echo $row[2];
}
?>

Example #3 Inserting a BLOB with parameter types


<?php
$link = ingres_connect("demodb");

//Open a photo
$fh = fopen("photo.jpg","r");
$blob_data = stream_get_contents($fh);
fclose($fh);

//Prepare parameters
$params[] = $blob_data;
$params[] = 1201;

//Define parameter types
$param_types = "Bi";

$query = "update user_profile set up_image = ? where up_id = ?";
$result = ingres_unbuffered_query($link, $query , $params, $param_types);

if (ingres_errno())
{
    echo ingres_errno() . "-" . ingres_error() . "\n";
}
?>
