I have seen JAM in action and have some literature on JAM/DBi, but I'm
not quite sure how JAM/DBi works.
I get the impression that it starts up a database process and sends SQL
queries to it, and somehow reads in the returns and passes it back
into the executable C code. Is this correct? Or, does it require the
use of a embedded SQL in the code?
I would be using JAM with Informix on a DEC 5810 running Ultrix,
mainly to find something more powerful than sperform to handle forms.
If JAM/DBi doesn't use embedded SQL, can it be used as a replacement
for it?
If someone has some source code generated by JAM/DBi, I would be
interested in seeing it.
My main goal is to convince my supervisor that we need something more
powerful and flexible than C-ISAM to access our database.

In fact the JPL can be stored in flat, ASCII files and "called" from within a window. [stuff deleted] > If JAM/DBi doesn't use embedded SQL, can it be used as a replacement > for it? I tested JAM/DBi with Oracle--it seems to be a fair replacement for embedded SQL. However, one must still write queries, since JAM/DBi doesn't generate queries. > If someone has some source code generated by JAM/DBi, I would be > interested in seeing it. JAM/DBi (for Oracle) doesn't produce source code!
