Introduction - DSN -- The Data Source Name
Описание
To connect to a database through PEAR::DB, you have to create a
valid DSN - data source name. This DSN
consists in the following parts:
|
phptype:
Database backend used in PHP (i.e. mysql
, odbc etc.)
|
|
dbsyntax:
Database used with regards to SQL syntax etc. When using ODBC as the
phptype, set this to the DBMS type the ODBC
driver is connecting to. Examples: access,
db2, mssql,
navision, solid, etc.
|
|
protocol:
Communication protocol to use ( i.e. tcp,
unix etc.)
|
|
hostspec:
Host specification (hostname[:port])
|
|
database:
Database to use on the DBMS server
|
|
username:
User name for login
|
|
password:
Password for login
|
|
proto_opts:
Maybe used with protocol
|
|
option:
Additional connection options in URI query string format.
options get separated by &
|
The format of the supplied DSN is in its fullest form:
phptype(dbsyntax)://username:password@protocol+hostspec/database?option=value |
Most variations are allowed:
phptype://username:password@protocol+hostspec:110//usr/db_file.db
phptype://username:password@hostspec/database
phptype://username:password@hostspec
phptype://username@hostspec
phptype://hostspec/database
phptype://hostspec
phptype:///database
phptype:///database?option=value&anotheroption=anothervalue
phptype(dbsyntax)
phptype |
The currently supported database backends are:
dbase -> dBase
fbsql -> FrontBase (functional since DB 1.7.0)
ibase -> InterBase (functional since DB 1.7.0)
ifx -> Informix
msql -> Mini SQL (functional since DB 1.7.0)
mssql -> Microsoft SQL Server (NOT for Sybase. Compile PHP --with-mssql)
mysql -> MySQL (for MySQL <= 4.0)
mysqli -> MySQL (for MySQL >= 4.1) (requires PHP 5) (since DB 1.6.3)
oci8 -> Oracle 7/8/9
odbc -> ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
pgsql -> PostgreSQL
sqlite -> SQLite
sybase -> Sybase |
With an up-to-date version of DB, you can use a
second DSN format
phptype(syntax)://user:pass@protocol(proto_opts)/database |
If your database, option values,
username or password
contain characters used to delineate DSN parts, you
can escape them via URI hex encodings:
: = %3a / = %2f @ = %40
+ = %2b ( = %28 ) = %29
? = %3f = = %3d & = %26 |
| Внимание |
Please note, that some features may be not supported by all
database backends. Please refer to the PEAR DB extensions
status document located at:
/pear/base/dir/DB/doc/STATUS
to get a detailed list about what features are supported by which
backend.
