Appendix L SQL Database Interface
Introduction
Programs can be created with this COBOL system to use Structured Query
Language (SQL) commands to access databases that comply with IBM's SQL
Precompiler Services Architecture.
The currently supported database systems are:
* IBM OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager. For further details
see IBM OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager SQL Reference and
IBM OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager Programming Guide and
Reference.
* Microsoft SQL Server with the Embedded SQL for COBOL Developers
Kit. For further details see Microsoft Embedded SQL for COBOL
Programmer's Reference, supplied by Microsoft.
This appendix does not document the SQL syntax, error messages returned
or usage of the SQL system outside of the COBOL environment. For details
of these, refer to the documentation supplied with your database system.
It does, however, document extensions to the language provided by the
COBOL system.
This support is dependent on various compiler directives, all of which
begin "SQL". See your COBOL System Reference and COBOL User Guide for
more details.
