/* check connection */
if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
   
printf("Connect failed: %s\n"maxdb_connect_error());
   exit();
}

/* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
if ($maxdb->query("CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city") === TRUE) {
   
printf("Table mycity successfully created.\n");
}

/* Select queries return a resultset */
if ($result $maxdb->query("SELECT name FROM hotel.city")) {
   
printf("Select returned %d rows.\n"$result->num_rows);

   
/* free result set */
   
$result->close();
}

/* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MAXDB_USE_RESULT */
if ($result $maxdb->query("SELECT * FROM hotel.city"MAXDB_USE_RESULT)) {
   
$result->close();
}

$maxdb->close();
?>

Example #2 Procedural style

<?php
$link 
maxdb_connect("localhost""MONA""RED""DEMODB");

/* check connection */
if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
   
printf("Connect failed: %s\n"maxdb_connect_error());
   exit();
}

/* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
if (maxdb_query($link"CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city") === TRUE) {
   
printf("Table mycity successfully created.\n");
}

/* Select queries return a resultset */
if ($result maxdb_query($link"SELECT name FROM hotel.city")) {
   
printf("Select returned %d rows.\n"maxdb_num_rows($result));

   
/* free result set */
   
maxdb_free_result($result);
}

/* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MAXDB_USE_RESULT */
if ($result maxdb_query($link"SELECT * FROM hotel.city"MAXDB_USE_RESULT)) {
   
maxdb_free_result($result);
}

maxdb_close($link);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Table mycity successfully created.
Select returned 25 rows.
