Sorry for this simple-minded question, but this newbie couldn't find the answer by just looking around. When using php w/ an mssql db, does one always use the mssql-specific db cmds (i.e. mssql-connect() etc.)? Is there any good reason why one would use the odbc oriented commands in this case? Are the odbc oriented commands primarily available for those dbs that have no built in db-specific commands? Or am I missing something here? Thanks for any help.
