Sample Code Conventions
To use thisSQL code for a speciļ¬c product, you must apply the syntax rules
for that product. For example, if you are usingDB-Access or IBMInformix
SQL,you must delineate the statements with semicolons. If you are using an
embedded language, you must useEXEC SQL and a semicolon (or other
appropriate delimiters) at the start and end of each statement, respectively.
For detailed directions on usingSQL statements for a particular application
development tool, see the manual for your product.
Tip: Ellipsis points in a code example indicate that more code would be added in a
full application, but it is not necessary to show it to describe the concept being
discussed.
