- Have you tried the two help facilities that INGRES provides for Embedded SQL?
- One of them is basically the same as you get in isql. One is called HELPFILE
- and is executed by the EXEC SQL HELPFILE subject filename command. The other
- is HELP_FRS and is executed by the EXEC FRS HELP_FRS(SUBJECT=subject,
- FILE=filename) command. Either of these provide nice help interfaces (we
- use them exclusively in our application development).
