pg_prepare
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
pg_prepare — Submits a request to create a prepared statement with the
given parameters, and waits for completion.
Description
resource pg_prepare
( resource $connection
, string $stmtname
, string $query
)
resource pg_prepare
( string $stmtname
, string $query
)
The function creates a prepared statement named stmtname
from the query
string, which must contain a single SQL command. stmtname
may be "" to
create an unnamed statement, in which case any pre-existing unnamed
statement is automatically replaced; otherwise it is an error if the
statement name is already defined in the current session. If any parameters
are used, they are referred to in the query
as $1, $2, etc.
Prepared statements for use with pg_prepare() can also be created by
executing SQL PREPARE statements. (But pg_prepare() is more flexible since it
does not require parameter types to be pre-specified.) Also, although there
is no PHP function for deleting a prepared statement, the SQL DEALLOCATE
statement can be used for that purpose.
Parameters
-
connection
-
PostgreSQL database connection resource. When
connection
is not present, the default connection
is used. The default connection is the last connection made by
pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().
-
stmtname
-
The name to give the prepared statement. Must be unique per-connection. If
"" is specified, then an unnamed statement is created, overwriting any
previously defined unnamed statement.
-
query
-
The parameterised SQL statement. Must contain only a single statement.
(multiple statements separated by semi-colons are not allowed.) If any parameters
are used, they are referred to as $1, $2, etc.
Return Values
A query result resource on success, or FALSE on failure.
