pg_send_query
    (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)
pg_send_query -- 
     Sends asynchronous query
    
Description
bool 
pg_send_query ( resource connection, string query)
bool 
pg_send_query ( string query)
     pg_send_query() send asynchronous query to the
     connection. Unlike
     pg_query(), it can send multiple query to
     PostgreSQL and get the result one by one using
     pg_get_result(). Script execution is not blocked
     while query is executing. Use
     pg_connection_busy() to check connection is
     busy (i.e. query is executing). Query may be cancelled by calling
     pg_cancel_query().
    
     Although user can send multiple query at once, user cannot send
     multiple query over busy connection. If query is sent while
     connection is busy, it waits until last query is finished and
     discards all result.
    
     
Example 1. Asynchronous Queries <?php
    $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
    if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
        pg_send_query($dbconn,"select * from authors; select count(*) from authors;");
    }
    
    $res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
    echo "First call to pg_get_result(): $res1\n";
    $rows1 = pg_num_rows($res1);
    echo "$res1 has $rows1 records\n\n";
    
    $res2 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
    echo "second call to pg_get_result(): $res2\n";
    $rows2 = pg_num_rows($res2);
    echo "$res2 has $rows2 records\n";
?> |  
 
       The above example would produce the following output:
       first call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #3
Resource id #3 has 3 records
second call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #4
Resource id #4 has 1 records  |
