# ingres_query

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2)

ingres_query -- Send a SQL query to Ingres II

## Description

``bool ingres_query` (string query [, resource link])`

Warning
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change in a future release of PHP without notice. Be warned and use this function at your own risk.

Returns `TRUE` on success, or `FALSE` on failure.

ingres_query() sends the given `query` to the Ingres server. This query must be a valid SQL query (see the Ingres SQL reference guide)

The query becomes part of the currently open transaction. If there is no open transaction, ingres_query() opens a new transaction. To close the transaction, you can either call ingres_commit() to commit the changes made to the database or ingres_rollback() to cancel these changes. When the script ends, any open transaction is rolled back (by calling ingres_rollback()). You can also use ingres_autocommit() before opening a new transaction to have every SQL query immediatly commited.

Some types of SQL queries can't be sent with this function:

- close (see ingres_close())

- commit (see ingres_commit())

- connect (see ingres_connect())

- disconnect (see ingres_close())

- get dbevent

- prepare to commit

- rollback (see ingres_rollback())

- savepoint

- set autocommit (see ingres_autocommit())

- all cursor related queries are unsupported

Example 1. ingres_query() example
    <?php
    ingres_connect ($database, $user, $password);

    ingres_query ("select * from table");
    while ($row = ingres_fetch_row()) {
        echo $row[1];
        echo $row[2];
    }
    ?>
