Return Values
Returns a statement handler on success, or FALSE
on error.
Notes
Note:
This function does not validate
query. The only way to find out if
query is valid SQL or PL/SQL statement - is to
execute it.
Note:
In PHP versions before 5.0.0 you must use ociparse() instead.
This name still can be used, it was left as alias of
oci_parse() for downwards compatability.
This, however, is deprecated and not recommended.
