pg_send_query
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
pg_send_query — Sends asynchronous query
Description
pg_send_query() sends a query or queries asynchronously to the connection . Unlike pg_query(), it can send multiple queries at once to PostgreSQL and get the results one by one using pg_get_result().
Script execution is not blocked while the queries are executing. Use pg_connection_busy() to check if the connection is busy (i.e. the query is executing). Queries may be cancelled using pg_cancel_query().
Although the user can send multiple queries at once, multiple queries cannot be sent over a busy connection. If a query is sent while the connection is busy, it waits until the last query is finished and discards all its results.
Parameters
- connection
-
PostgreSQL database connection resource.
- query
-
The SQL statement or statements to be executed.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Use pg_get_result() to determine the query result.
Examples
Example #1 pg_send_query() example
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
pg_send_query($dbconn, "select * from authors; select count(*) from authors;");
}
$res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
echo "First call to pg_get_result(): $res1\n";
$rows1 = pg_num_rows($res1);
echo "$res1 has $rows1 records\n\n";
$res2 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
echo "Second call to pg_get_result(): $res2\n";
$rows2 = pg_num_rows($res2);
echo "$res2 has $rows2 records\n";
?>
The above example will output:
First call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #3 Resource id #3 has 3 records Second call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #4 Resource id #4 has 1 records
