Classic interface

type connection

The type of connections to databases.

val connect : string -> string -> string -> connection

create base user passwd creates a connection to data source base, as user user, with password passwd.
Raises SQL_Error if we could not connect to the database.

val disconnect : connection -> unit

Disconnect from a database. The given connection should not be used after this function was called.
Raises SQL_Error if an error occured while disconnecting.

val execute : connection -> string -> int * string list list

execute c q executes query q through connection c and returns the result as a pair (error_code, recordlist), where a record is a string list. The error_code is 0 if no error occured.

val execute_with_info : connection ->
       string -> int * (string * sql_column_type) list * string list list

Object-oriented interface
