[PHP] Efficient db connect function?

[CF High]

Hey all.

I'm currently using the following db connection function, but I'm not sure
if it's as efficient as it could be.

function dbConnect($SQL) {

global $result;

     // Connect to DB
         if (!$link = @mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass)) {
            $result = 0;
            echo mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() . "\n";
     }
     else

          // Select DB
          if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]($db_name, $link)) {
                $result = 0;
                echo mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() . "\n";
          }
          else {
                // Execute query
                    if (!$result = @mysql_query($SQL, $link)) {
                        $result = 0;
                        echo mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error() . "\n";
                   }
          }
    }
    return $result;
}

******* Is there a faster way to establish a connection & run a query, or am
I wasting my time over nothing? *********
