I'm writing an application that uses the dynamic varying-list capabilities of the OS/2 1.2 SQL API and have a few questions: 1. Can the sqlda structure be used for updates and inserts? 2. Is there a pseudo-attribute that uniquely qualifies each tuple such as Ingres's TID attribute? 3. I need to call functions such as 'sqlacall' directly to dynamically allocate cursors. Any tips? I guess what I really need is a good reference on programming the database manager. I have H. Fosdicks book "OS/2 Database Manager, A Developer's Guide". It is a good reference for static SQL programming but is inadequate for anyone wanting to manipulate the nuts and bolts of the SQL API. Can anyone recommend a book? I've heard of the manual "IBM OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager Reference". Can anyone recommend it? Does anyone know the ISBN number and price? What I *really* want is a .HLP file like the ones you get with the OS/2 Toolkit. These are most excellent. Does this file exist for the SQL API? Thanks for any help.
