ALLBASE/SQL Speciﬁcs

Acceptable SQL Syntax

The HP JDBC Server will accept either ODBC SQL statement syntax,

or ALLBASE/SQL statement syntax. All SQL statements are ﬁrst

parsed for ODBC 2.0 SQL syntax. If the statement conforms to the

ODBC 2.0 SQL syntax, it is translated to ALLBASE/SQL before being

passed to the ALLBASE/SQL DBMS. If the statement does not conform

to the ODBC 2.0 SQL syntax rules, it is assumed to be an

ALLBASE/SQL statment, and is passed without modiﬁcation to the

ALLBASE/SQL SQL DBMS.
