Description
bool
mssql_select_db ( string database_name [, resource link_identifier])
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
mssql_select_db() sets the current active
database on the server that's associated with the specified link
identifier. If no link identifier is specified, the last opened
link is assumed. If no link is open, the function will try to
establish a link as if mssql_connect() was
called, and use it.
Every subsequent call to mssql_query() will be
made on the active database.
In order to select a database containing a space or a hyphen ("-") you
need to enclose the database name in brackets, like is shown in the
example below:
Example 1. mssql_select_db() example |
<?php
$conn = mssql_connect('MYSQLSERVER', 'sa', 'password');
mssql_select_db('[my data-base]', $conn);
?>
