note 73 deleted from Oracle functions by ronabop

The documentation is at the level of PHP2; several functions have been added to the Oracle module since then. These have not been documented, yet. This note intends to be a temporary supplementary documentation; it has been manually generated from the source of PHP3.0.2a.<p> Missing are:<p> <dl> <dt><b>Ora_Do($conn, $query)</b></dt> <dd>Ora_Do() is a shorthand function for the Ora_Parse(), Ora_Exec(), Ora_Fetch() sequence that is found for many single queries.</dd> <dt><b>Ora_FetchInto($curs, &$ary)</b></dt> <dd>Ora_FetchInto is passed an array reference and fetches a whole result row into that array. The function returns the number of columns in that row or false.</dd> <dt><b>ora_columnsize($curs, $colindex)</b></dt> <dd>The function returns the size of the type (see ora_columntype()) at the named column. The column numbering starts at 0.</dd> <dt><b>ora_numcols($curs)</b></dt> <dd>Returns the number of columns in the result. The command only returns meaningful values after an ora_parse()/ora_exec()/ora_fetch() sequence has been executed (ora_do() will work as well).</dd> <dt><b>ora_numrows($curs)</b></dt> <dd>See above, only this one returns rows.</dd> <dt><b>ora_plogon()</b></dt> <dd>This function is identical to ora_login(), only that it will create a persistent connection. Persistent connections are meaningful only with mod_php, not with CGI PHP. They can make your mod_php database connects a lot of faster, but cost you memory. See the notes at mysql_pconnect() for more information.</dd> </dl>
