Supported SQL Systems
IBM Database Manager defines an application programming interface (API)
that enables software developers to write their own precompilers for
Database Manager applications. This COBOL system uses this feature to
provide embedded support for databases that conform to this API.
You must have one of the following supported database systems in order to
use the SQL database interface provided with this COBOL system:
* IBM OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager
* IBM Extended Services for OS/2 Database Manager
* IBM Database 2 OS/2 (DB2/2) Version 1
* IBM DB2/2 Windows Requester (requires DB2/2 OS/2 Server)
* IBM Database 2 AIX/6000 (DB2/6000)
* Microsoft SQL Server V4.2 or later using Microsoft SQL Server
Programmer's Toolkit for COBOL version 4.21 or later.
* Sybase SQL Server V4.2 or later using Microsoft SQL Server
Programmer's Toolkit for COBOL version 4.21 or later.
NOTE All IBM engines are referred to generically as Database Manager.
This COBOL system works transparently with IBM SAA Distributed Database
Connection Services/2 for access to the SAA relational databases DB2,
SQL/DS and SQL/400.
This chapter 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.
