<para>
Returns a positive Sybase result identifier on success, or
&false; on error.
</para>
<para>
<function>sybase_unbuffered_query</function> sends a query to the
currently active database on the server that's associated with the specified
link identifier. If the link identifier isn't specified, the last
opened link is assumed. If no link is open, the function tries to
establish a link as if <function>sybase_connect</function> was
called, and use it.
</para>
<para>
Unlike <function>sybase_query</function>,
<function>sybase_unbuffered_query</function> reads only the first
row of the result set. <function>sybase_fetch_array</function> and similar
function read more rows as needed. <function>sybase_data_seek</function>
reads up to the target row. The behavior may produce better performance
for large result sets.
</para>
<para>
<function>sybase_num_rows</function> will only return the correct number
of rows if all result sets have been read. To Sybase, the number of rows
is not known and is therefore computed by the client implementation.
</para>
<note>
<para>
If you don't read all of the resultsets prior to executing the next query,
PHP will raise a warning and cancel all of the pending results. To get rid of
this, use <function>sybase_free_result</function> which will cancel pending
results of an unbuffered query.
</para>
</note>
<para>
The optional <parameter>store_result</parameter> can be &false; to indicate
the resultsets shouldn't be fetched into memory, thus minimizing memory usage
which is particularly interesting with very large resultsets.
