maxdb_real_connect() attempts to establish a connection to a MaxDB database engine running on hostname.

This function differs from maxdb_connect():

maxdb_real_connect() needs a valid resource which has to be created by function maxdb_init()
With function maxdb_options() you can set various options for connection.

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
