Re: FRC: pg_metadata, pg_convert, pg_insert, etc

sounds really nice.. would it be possible to accept objects as well as arrays? how does it know if the update column should be an integer or string - eg. '12' or 12 ? - is that what the meta data is for? regards alan Markus Fischer wrote:

Can you elaborate more on the mystic 'metadata' and what it reallt means to the functions? On Wed, Apr 10, 2002 at 04:43:21PM +0900, Yasuo Ohgaki wrote :

Hi to all database module maintainers, I've committed some new PostgreSQL functions and manual pages for these. pg_metadata() - get medata data pg_convert() - check and convert array accoding to metadata pg_insert()/update()/select()/delete() - does insert, etc by array. With the new function, users can do safely. <?php $db = pg_connect(); pg_insert($db, 'get_value_log', $_GET) or user_sent_malformed_data(); ?> Since, pg_insert() lookup metadata and convert array values safely used in SQL. Please take a look at API, since you or other person may implement same feature for your database in the future. And API should be consistent whenever it's possible. I can change API if it's before PHP 4.3.0. Thank you. -- Yasuo Ohgaki -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
