<para>
<function>msql_connect</function> establishes a connection to a mSQL
server.
</para>
<para>
If a second call is made to <function>msql_connect</function> with
the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the
link identifier of the already opened link will be returned.
</para>
<para>
The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of the
script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
<function>msql_close</function>.

<para>
The hostname can also include a port number. e.g.
<literal>hostname,port</literal>.
</para>
<para>
If not specified, the connection is established by the means of a Unix
domain socket, being then more efficient then a localhost TCP socket
connection.
</para>
<note>
<para>
While this function will accept a colon (<literal>:</literal>) as a
host/port separator, a comma (<literal>,</literal>) is the preferred
method.
