This function returns an object with read-only properties that return information about the IBM DB2, Cloudscape, or Apache Derby database server. The following table lists the database server properties:
Property name | Return type | Description |
---|---|---|
DBMS_NAME | string | The name of the database server to which you are connected. For DB2 servers this is a combination of DB2 followed by the operating system on which the database server is running. |
DBMS_VER | string | The version of the database server, in the form of a string "MM.mm.uuuu" where MM is the major version, mm is the minor version, and uuuu is the update. For example, "08.02.0001" represents major version 8, minor version 2, update 1. |
DB_CODEPAGE | int | The code page of the database to which you are connected. |
DB_NAME | string | The name of the database to which you are connected. |
DFT_ISOLATION | string | The default transaction isolation level supported by the server:
|
IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR | string | The character used to delimit an identifier. |
INST_NAME | string | The instance on the database server that contains the database. |
ISOLATION_OPTION | array | An array of the isolation options supported by the database server. The isolation options are described in the DFT_ISOLATION property. |
KEYWORDS | array | An array of the keywords reserved by the database server. |
LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE | bool |
TRUE if the database server supports the use of % and _ wildcard characters. FALSE if the database server does not support these wildcard characters. |
MAX_COL_NAME_LEN | int | Maximum length of a column name supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
MAX_IDENTIFIER_LEN | int | Maximum length of an SQL identifier supported by the database server, expressed in characters. |
MAX_INDEX_SIZE | int | Maximum size of columns combined in an index supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
MAX_PROC_NAME_LEN | int | Maximum length of a procedure name supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
MAX_ROW_SIZE | int | Maximum length of a row in a base table supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
MAX_SCHEMA_NAME_LEN | int | Maximum length of a schema name supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
MAX_STATEMENT_LEN | int | Maximum length of an SQL statement supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
MAX_TABLE_NAME_LEN | int | Maximum length of a table name supported by the database server, expressed in bytes. |
NON_NULLABLE_COLUMNS | bool |
TRUE if the database server supports columns that can be defined as NOT NULL, FALSE if the database server does not support columns defined as NOT NULL. |
PROCEDURES | bool |
TRUE if the database server supports the use of the CALL statement to call stored procedures, FALSE if the database server does not support the CALL statement. |
SPECIAL_CHARS | string | A string containing all of the characters other than a-Z, 0-9, and underscore that can be used in an identifier name. |
SQL_CONFORMANCE | string | The level of conformance to the ANSI/ISO SQL-92 specification offered by the database server:
|
Specifies an active DB2 client connection.
Returns an object on a successful call. Returns FALSE
on failure.
To retrieve information about the server, you must pass a valid database connection resource to db2_server_info().
<?php $conn = db2_connect('sample', 'db2inst1', 'ibmdb2'); $server = db2_server_info( $conn ); if ($server) { echo "DBMS_NAME: "; var_dump( $server->DBMS_NAME ); echo "DBMS_VER: "; var_dump( $server->DBMS_VER ); echo "DB_CODEPAGE: "; var_dump( $server->DB_CODEPAGE ); echo "DB_NAME: "; var_dump( $server->DB_NAME ); echo "INST_NAME: "; var_dump( $server->INST_NAME ); echo "SPECIAL_CHARS: "; var_dump( $server->SPECIAL_CHARS ); echo "KEYWORDS: "; var_dump( sizeof($server->KEYWORDS) ); echo "DFT_ISOLATION: "; var_dump( $server->DFT_ISOLATION ); echo "ISOLATION_OPTION: "; $il = ''; foreach( $server->ISOLATION_OPTION as $opt ) { $il .= $opt." "; } var_dump( $il ); echo "SQL_CONFORMANCE: "; var_dump( $server->SQL_CONFORMANCE ); echo "PROCEDURES: "; var_dump( $server->PROCEDURES ); echo "IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR: "; var_dump( $server->IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR ); echo "LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE: "; var_dump( $server->LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE ); echo "MAX_COL_NAME_LEN: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_COL_NAME_LEN ); echo "MAX_ROW_SIZE: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_ROW_SIZE ); echo "MAX_IDENTIFIER_LEN: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_IDENTIFIER_LEN ); echo "MAX_INDEX_SIZE: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_INDEX_SIZE ); echo "MAX_PROC_NAME_LEN: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_PROC_NAME_LEN ); echo "MAX_SCHEMA_NAME_LEN: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_SCHEMA_NAME_LEN ); echo "MAX_STATEMENT_LEN: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_STATEMENT_LEN ); echo "MAX_TABLE_NAME_LEN: "; var_dump( $server->MAX_TABLE_NAME_LEN ); echo "NON_NULLABLE_COLUMNS: "; var_dump( $server->NON_NULLABLE_COLUMNS ); db2_close($conn); } ?>
The above example will output:
