<para>
Opens a persistent connection to an InterBase database.
</para>
<para>
<function>ibase_pconnect</function> acts very much like
<function>ibase_connect</function> with two major differences.
</para>
<para>
First, when connecting, the function will first try to find a (persistent)
link that's already opened with the same parameters. If one is found, an
identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection.
</para>
<para>
Second, the connection to the InterBase server will not be closed when the
execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for
future use (<function>ibase_close</function> will not close links
established by <function>ibase_pconnect</function>). This type of link is
therefore called 'persistent'.

<listitem>
<para>
The <parameter>database</parameter> argument has to be a valid path to
database file on the server it resides on. If the server is not local,
it must be prefixed with either 'hostname:' (TCP/IP), '//hostname/'
(NetBEUI) or 'hostname@' (IPX/SPX), depending on the connection
protocol used.

its own default.

statement executed within a connection, and it defaults to the highest
one supported by client libraries. Functional only with InterBase 6
and up.
