XX. dbx Functions

介绍

The dbx module is a database abstraction layer (db 'X', where 'X' is a supported database). The dbx functions allow you to access all supported databases using a single calling convention. The dbx-functions themselves do not interface directly to the databases, but interface to the modules that are used to support these databases.

需求

To be able to use a database with the dbx-module, the module must be either linked or loaded into PHP, and the database module must be supported by the dbx-module. Currently, the following databases are supported, but others will follow:

Documentation for adding additional database support to dbx can be found at http://www.guidance.nl/php/dbx/doc/.

安装

In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with dbx support by using the --enable-dbx option and all options for the databases that will be used, e.g. for MySQL you must also specify --with-mysql=[DIR]. To get other supported databases to work with the dbx-module refer to their specific documentation.

运行时配置

这些函数的行为受到全局配置文件 php.ini 的影响。

表格 1. DBX Configuration Options

NameDefaultChangeable
dbx.colnames_case"unchanged"PHP_INI_SYSTEM
For further details and definition of the PHP_INI_* constants see ini_set().

注: This ini-option is available available from PHP 4.3.0.

以下是该配置选项的简要解释。

dbx.colnames_case string

Columns names can be returned "unchanged" or converted to "uppercase" or "lowercase". This directive can be overridden with a flag to dbx_query().

资源类型

There are two resource types used in the dbx module. The first one is the link-object for a database connection, the second a result-object which holds the result of a query.

预定义常量

由于这些常量是由该扩展模块定义的,因此只有在该扩展模块被编译到 PHP 中,或者在运行时被动态加载后,这些常量才有效。
