Method Sql.pgsql()->select_db()


Method select_db

void select_db(string dbname)

Description

This function allows you to connect to a database. Due to restrictions of the Postgres frontend-backend protocol, you always have to be connected to a database, so in fact this function just allows you to connect to a different database on the same server.

Note

This function can raise exceptions if something goes wrong (backend process not running, insufficient privileges...)
