This function is much like
<a href="function.odbc-connect.php" class="function">odbc_connect()</a>, except that the connection is
not really closed when the script has finished. Future requests
for a connection with the same <i><tt class="parameter">dsn</tt></i>
,
<i><tt class="parameter">user</tt></i>
, <i><tt class="parameter">password</tt></i>
combination (via <a href="function.odbc-connect.php" class="function">odbc_connect()</a> and
<b>odbc_pconnect()</b>) can reuse the persistent
connection.
