   The <function>maxdb_connect_error</function> function is identical to the corresponding
   <function>maxdb_connect_errno</function> function in every way, except instead of returning
   an integer error code the <function>maxdb_connect_error</function> function will return
   a string representation of the last error to occur for the last
   <function>maxdb_connect</function> call.
   If no error has occured, this function will return an empty string.
  </para>
