PHP API

For example:

dl("sql_relay.so");
$con=sqlrcon_alloc("adasz",9000,"","user1","password1",0,1);
$cur=sqlrcur_alloc($con);
sqlrcur_sendQuery($cur,"select table_name from user_tables");
sqlrcon_endSession($con);
for ($i=0; $i<sqlrcur_rowCount($cur); $i++)
{
  printf("%s\n",sqlrcur_getField($cur,$i,"table_name"));
}
sqlrcur_free($cur);
sqlrcon_free($con);

An alternative to running dl(sql_relay.so) is to put a line like:

extension=sql_relay.so

In your php.ini file. Doing this will improve performance as the library isn't loaded and unloaded each time a script runs, but only once when the web-server is started.

• int sqlrcon_alloc(string server, int port, string socket, string user, string password, int retrytime, int tries)

  Initiates a connection to "server" on "port" or to the unix "socket" on the local machine and authenticates with "user" and "password". Failed connections will be retried for "tries" times on interval "retrytime" or on for a default number of times on a default interval if left unspecified.

  If the "socket" parameter is nether NULL nor "" then an attempt will be made to connect through it before attempting to connect to "server" on "port". If it is NULL or "" then no attempt will be made to connect through the socket.*/

• void sqlrcon_free(int sqlrconref)

  Disconnects and terminates the session if it hasn't been terminated already.

• void sqlrcon_endSession(int sqlrconref)

  terminates the session

• void sqlrcon_suspendSession(int sqlrconref)

  Disconnects this client from the current session but leaves the session open so that another client can connect to it using sqlrcon_resumeSession().

• int sqlrcon_getConnectionPort(int sqlrconref)

  Returns the inet port that the client is communicating over. This parameter may be passed to another client for use in the sqlrcon_resumeSession() command.

• string sqlrcon_getConnectionSocket(int sqlrconref)

  Returns the unix socket that the client is communicating over. This parameter may be passed to another client for use in the sqlrcon_resumeSession() command.

• int sqlrcon_resumeSession(int sqlrconref, int port, string socket)

  Resumes a session previously left open using sqlrcon_suspendSession(). Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

• int sqlrcon_ping(int sqlrconref)

  Returns 1 if the database is up and 0 if it's down.

• string sqlrcon_identify(int sqlrconref)

  Returns the type of database: oracle7, oracle8, postgresql, mysql, etc.

• int sqlrcon_autoCommitOn(int sqlrconref)

  Instructs the database to perform a commit after every successful query.

• int sqlrcon_autoCommitOff(int sqlrconref)

  Instructs the database to wait for the client to tell it when to commit.

• int sqlrcon_commit(int sqlrconref)

  Issues a commit. Returns 1 if the commit succeeded, 0 if it failed and -1 if an error occurred.

• int sqlrcon_rollback(int sqlrconref)

  Issues a rollback. Returns 1 if the rollback succeeded, 0 if it failed and -1 if an error occurred.

• void sqlrcon_debugOn(int sqlrconref)

  Causes verbose debugging information to be sent to standard output. Another way to do this is to start a query with "-- debug\n".

• void sqlrcon_debugOff(int sqlrconref)

  turns debugging off

• int sqlrcon_getDebug(int sqlrconref)

  returns FALSE if debugging is off and TRUE if debugging is on

• int sqlrcur_alloc(int sqlrconref)
• void sqlrcur_free(int sqlrcur)
• void sqlrcur_setResultSetBufferSize(int sqlrcurref, int rows)

  Sets the number of rows of the result set to buffer at a time. 0 (the default) means buffer the entire result set.

  Returns the number of result set rows that will be buffered at a time or 0 for the entire result set.

• void sqlrcur_dontGetColumnInfo(int sqlrcurref)

• void sqlrcur_getColumnInfo(int sqlrcurref)

  Tells the server to send column info.

• void sqlrcur_cacheToFile(int sqlrcurref, string filename)

  Sets query caching on. Future queries will be cached to the file "filename". A default time-to-live of 10 minutes is also set. Note that once sqlrcur_cacheToFile() is called, the result sets of all future queries will be cached to that file until another call to sqlrcur_cacheToFile() changes which file to cache to or a call to sqlrcur_cacheOff() turns off caching.

• void sqlrcur_setCacheTtl(int sqlrcurref, int ttl)

  Sets the time-to-live for cached result sets. The sqlr-cachemanger will remove each cached result set "ttl" seconds after it's created.

• string sqlrcur_getCacheFileName(int sqlrcurref)

  Returns the name of the file containing the most recently cached result set.

• void sqlrcur_cacheOff(int sqlrcurref)

  Sets query caching off.

If you don't need to use substitution or bind variables in your queries, use these two methods.

  sends "query" and gets a return set. Returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.

• int sqlrcur_sendFileQuery(int sqlrcurref, string path, string filename)

  Sends the query in file "path"/"filename" and gets a return set. Returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.

  returns the number of columns in the current return set

• int sqlrcur_rowCount(int sqlrcurref)

  returns the number of rows in the current return set

• int sqlrcur_totalRows(int sqlrcurref)
