| 2 | SYNOPSIS |
| 3 | int pg_connect (string conn, string fun) |
| 4 | int pg_connect (string conn, string fun, string|object obj, mixed extra, ...) |
| 5 | int pg_connect (string conn, closure cl, mixed extra, ...) |
| 6 | |
| 7 | DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | Open a database connection as directed by <conn>, and assign the |
| 9 | callback function <fun>/<cl> with the optional <extra> parameters |
| 10 | to it. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The object holding the callback function becomes the controlling |
| 13 | object; obiously it is an error to assign more than one connection |
| 14 | to the same controlling object. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The <conn> string is in the format accepted by Postgres' |
| 17 | PQconnectStart() API functions. Pass an empty string to use the |
| 18 | default options, or a string holding the '<key>=<value>' options |
| 19 | separated by whitespace. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The most useful options are: |
| 22 | dbname: The database name |
| 23 | user: The user name to connect as. |
| 24 | password: Password to be used. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Return 0 on success, and -1 on failure. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | The function is available only if the driver is compiled with |
| 29 | PostgreSQL support. In that case, __PGSQL__ is defined. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The efun triggers a privilege violation ("pgsql", "pg_connect"). |
| 32 | |
| 33 | HISTORY |
| 34 | Added in 3.3.445. |
| 35 | LDMud 3.3.640 added the privilege violation. |
