Example
| Example 1. Object oriented style | 
<?php$maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
 
 /* check connection */
 if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
 printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
 exit();
 }
 
 /* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
 if ($maxdb->query("CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city") === TRUE) {
 printf("Table mycity successfully created.\n");
 }
 
 /* Select queries return a resultset */
 if ($result = $maxdb->query("SELECT name FROM hotel.city")) {
 printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", $result->num_rows);
 
 /* free result set */
 $result->close();
 }
 
 /* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MAXDB_USE_RESULT */
 if ($result = $maxdb->query("SELECT * FROM hotel.city", MAXDB_USE_RESULT)) {
 $result->close();
 }
 
 $maxdb->close();
 ?>

| Example 2. Procedural style | 
<?php$link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");
 
 /* check connection */
 if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
 printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error());
 exit();
 }
 
 /* Create table doesn't return a resultset */
 if (maxdb_query($link, "CREATE TABLE temp.mycity LIKE hotel.city") === TRUE) {
 printf("Table mycity successfully created.\n");
 }
 
 /* Select queries return a resultset */
 if ($result = maxdb_query($link, "SELECT name FROM hotel.city")) {
 printf("Select returned %d rows.\n", maxdb_num_rows($result));
 
 /* free result set */
 maxdb_free_result($result);
 }
 
 /* If we have to retrieve large amount of data we use MAXDB_USE_RESULT */
 if ($result = maxdb_query($link, "SELECT * FROM hotel.city", MAXDB_USE_RESULT)) {
 maxdb_free_result($result);
 }
 
 maxdb_close($link);
 ?>
