(PHP 4, PHP 5)
odbc_pconnect — Open a persistent database connection
$dsn
   , string $user
   , string $password
   [, int $cursor_type
  ] )Opens a persistent database connection.
   This function is much like
   odbc_connect(), except that the connection is
   not really closed when the script has finished.  Future requests
   for a connection with the same dsn,
   user, password
   combination (via odbc_connect() and
   odbc_pconnect()) can reuse the persistent
   connection.
  
See odbc_connect() for details.
   Returns an ODBC connection id or 0 (FALSE) on
   error.
  
Note: Persistent connections have no effect if PHP is used as a CGI program.
