 ===== Usage =====
+This is an example of how to use param() to build SQL queries:
 <code php>
-/*
+$sql1 = 'SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE name = ' . $db->param('account') . ' AND total = ' . $db->param('amount');
-* Connection to Oracle database
+$db->param(false);
-*/
+$sql2 = 'SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE id = ' . $db->param('id');
-print $db->param('account');
-/*
-* prints ':account'
-*/
 </code>
-<code php>
-/*
+See below for the code's output with various database drivers.

-* prints ?
+$sql2: SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE id = ?
-*/
