sybase_pconnect Open persistent Sybase connection &reftitle.description; resourcesybase_pconnect stringservername stringusername stringpassword stringcharset stringappname sybase_pconnect acts very much like sybase_connect with two major differences. First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (sybase_close will not close links established by sybase_pconnect). This type of links is therefore called 'persistent'. &reftitle.parameters; servername The servername argument has to be a valid servername that is defined in the 'interfaces' file. username Sybase user name password Password associated with username. charset Specifies the charset for the connection appname &reftitle.returnvalues; Returns a positive Sybase persistent link identifier on success, or &false; on error. &reftitle.changelog; &Version; &Description; 4.0.2 The charset parameter was added. &reftitle.seealso; sybase_connect
