oci_new_connect
(PHP 5, PECL oci8:1.1-1.2.4)
oci_new_connect — Establishes a new connection to the Oracle server
Description
Establishes a new connection to an Oracle server and logs on.
Unlike oci_connect() and oci_pconnect(), oci_new_connect() does not cache connections and will always return a brand-new freshly opened connection handle. This is useful if your application needs transactional isolation between two sets of queries.
Parameters
- username
-
The Oracle user name.
- password
-
The password for username .
- db
-
This optional parameter can either contain the name of the local Oracle instance or the name of the entry in tnsnames.ora.
If the not specified, PHP uses environment variables ORACLE_SID and TWO_TASK to determine the name of local Oracle instance and location of tnsnames.ora accordingly.
- charset
-
Using Oracle server version 9.2 and greater, you can indicate charset by parameter, which will be used in the new connection. If you're using Oracle server < 9.2, this parameter will be ignored and the NLS_LANG environment variable will be used instead.
- session_mode
-
This parameter is available since version 1.1 and accepts the following values: OCI_DEFAULT, OCI_SYSOPER and OCI_SYSDBA. If either OCI_SYSOPER or OCI_SYSDBA were specified, this function will try to establish privileged connection using external credentials. Privileged connections are disabled by default. To enable them you need to set oci8.privileged_connect to On.
Return Values
Returns a connection identifier or FALSE on error.
Examples
The following demonstrates how you can separate connections.

<?php

$db = "";
$c1 = oci_connect("scott", "tiger", $db);
$c2 = oci_new_connect("scott", "tiger", $db);

{
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "create table scott.hallo (test
varchar2(64))");
oci_execute($stmt);

}
function drop_table($conn)
{
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "drop table scott.hallo");
oci_execute($stmt);

}
function insert_data($conn)
{

Notes
Note: If you're using PHP with Oracle Instant Client, you can use easy connect naming method described here: » http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/network.101/b10775/naming.htm#i498306. Basically this means you can specify "//db_host[:port]/database_name" as database name. But if you want to use the old way of naming you must set either ORACLE_HOME or TNS_ADMIN.
Note: In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ocinlogon() instead. This name still can be used, it was left as alias of oci_new_connect() for downwards compatability. This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
