[comp.databases] Dynamic SQL syntax

sunil@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Sunil Murthy) (10/09/90)

Could someone give me the syntax for the dynamic SQL statements
PREPARE, EXECUTE, and DESCRIBE in Ingres Version 6.0. We have a 
5.0 Version running and it does not support dynamic SQL. I need 
this information for a reference and Ingres tech. support need 
a contact i.d before they talk to you...

Thanks

The general syntax is really pretty simple - 

  EXEC SQL PREPARE statement_name FROM string_variable | string_literal;

  EXEC SQL EXECUTE statement_name [USING variable [,variable...]];

  EXEC SQL DESCRIBE statement_name INTO descriptor_name;

A useful variation is:

  EXEC SQL IMMEDIATE string_variable | string_literal;

Please bear in mind that dynamic SQL becomes available in 6.x. Version 5
releases do not support dynamic SQL.
