Re: or die

From the manual: die die -- Output a message and terminate the current script Description: void die(string message); This language construct outputs a message and terminates parsing of the script. It does not return. --- The string may be replaced with a function call I suppose, but the script would terminate as soon as it was completed, so you can't use this to make a connection in the case of a failed query attempt.
