ingres_connect() opens a connection with the
given Ingres database.
The connection is closed when the script ends or when ingres_close() is called on this link.
All the other ingres functions use the last opened link as a default, so you need to store the returned value only if you use more than one link at a time.
If some parameters are missing, ingres_connect()
uses the values in php.ini for
ingres.default_database,
ingres.default_user and
ingres.default_password.
database
The database name. Must follows the syntax
[node_id::]dbname[/svr_class].
usernameThe Ingres user name.
password
The password associated with username.
