Description

The RDO_CONNECT() function is used to connect to a data source. The numeric value returned should be saved to a variable to be used by other functions to reference the connection. Connection references start from 0 and correspond to the cursor/workarea -1. If RDO_CONNECT() returns -1, the connection failed.

Example

conn = rdo_connect("mysql","localhost", "user", "pass", "test")
if conn > -1
    rdo_exec("create table mytable (phrase char(20))", conn)
    rdo_exec("insert into mytable values ('Hello world')")
    echo rdo_affected_rows()
    rdo_close(conn)
endif
