mssql_select_db
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PECL odbtp:1.1.1-1.1.4)
mssql_select_db — Select MS SQL database
Description
mssql_select_db() sets the current active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier.
Every subsequent call to mssql_query() will be made on the active database.
Parameters
- database_name
-
The database name.
To escape the name of a database that contains spaces, hyphens ("-"), or any other exceptional characters, the database name must be enclosed in brackets, as is shown in the example, below. This technique must also be applied when selecting a database name that is also a reserved word (such as primary).
- link_identifier
-
A MS SQL link identifier, returned by mssql_connect() or mssql_pconnect().
If no link identifier is specified, the last opened link is assumed. If no link is open, the function will try to establish a link as if mssql_connect() was called, and use it.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 mssql_select_db() example
<?php
$conn = mssql_connect('MYSQLSERVER', 'sa', 'password');
mssql_select_db('[my data-base]', $conn);
?>
