- There are some problems in embedded SQL.
- First the way variables are described is different in some versions.
- Sometimes ":var" is used sometimes "@variable" or "?" is used.
- Sybase does NOT support embedded SQL !! (as far as i know).
-
- As a matter of fact i already made the choice of building my own API
- in C for C programs. This was also chosen because our database table
- names should be variable (we use Uniface, where each table name can be
- prefix-ed for easy shared development). I also have build it for
- Ingres and Sybase. The Ingres version is based on embedded SQL
- (partly dynamic embedded SQL) and the sybase version on the sybase
- API. The oracle version will be built in future too, probably based on
- the ingress version.
-
- It works ok.
