PostgreSQL database connection resource.

Name of the table from which to delete rows.

Examples

Example #1 pg_delete() example

<?php 
  $db 
pg_connect('dbname=foo');
  
// This is safe, since $_POST is converted automatically
  
$res pg_delete($db'post_log'$_POST);
  if (
$res) {
      echo 
"POST data is deleted: $res\n";
  } else {
      echo 
"User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
  }
?>
