ALLBASE/SQL and IMAGE/SQL Statements That Work Only with
Embedded SQL
PC client application software that accesses ALLBASE/SQL and IMAGE/SQL databases through ODBCLink/SE do
not support embedded SQL. The application software calls the database functions directly; there is no need for
preprocessing.
Because the following ALLBASE/SQL and IMAGE/SQL statements function only with embedded SQL, they are not
supported by ODBCLink/SE:
CLOSE CURSOR
BEGIN DECLARE SECTION
DECLARE CURSOR
DESCRIBE
END DECLARE SECTION
EXECUTE
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
FETCH
INCLUDE
OPEN
PREPARE
REFETCH
SQLEXPLAIN
WHENEVER
ALLBASE/SQL and IMAGE/SQL Statements Replaced by Func-
tions on the PC Client
Some of the functionality has been moved from the database server to the PC client with ODBCLink/SE.
The following ALLBASE/SQL and IMAGE/SQL statements are not supported because they have been replaced by
other functions resident on the PC client:
CONNECT
DISCONNECT
RELEASE
RESET
SET CONNECT
SET MULTITRANSACTION
START DBE
START DBE NEW
START DBE NEWLOG
STOP DBE
Note: If you attempt to use any of these unsupported statements,
you will receive an error message.
