<simpara>
The connection id returned by this functions is needed by other
ODBC functions. You can have multiple connections open at once as long as
they either use different db or different credentials.
</simpara>
<simpara>
With some ODBC drivers, executing a complex stored procedure may
fail with an error similar to: "Cannot open a cursor on a stored
procedure that has anything other than a single select statement
in it". Using SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC may avoid that error. Also, some
drivers don't support the optional row_number parameter in
<function>odbc_fetch_row</function>. SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC might help
in that case, too.
