fbsql_connect ( [string hostname [, string username [, string password]]] )
 
     Returns a positive FrontBase link identifier on success, or an
     error message on failure.
    
     fbsql_connect() establishes a connection to a
     FrontBase server.  The following defaults are assumed for missing
     optional parameters: hostname = 'NULL',
     username = '_SYSTEM' and
     password = empty password.
    
     If a second call is made to fbsql_connect()
     with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but
     instead, the link identifier of the already opened link will be
     returned.
    
     The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of
     the script ends, unless it's closed earlier by explicitly calling
     fbsql_close().
