General rules for Embedded SQL

The following rules apply to Embedded SQL statements in C programs:

• Embedded SQL statements begin with these keywords:

  exec sql
  

• Embedded SQL statements must end with a semicolon:

  exec sql sql_statement;
  

• Place exec sql at the beginning of the source line except when a C label precedes it:

  [label:] exec sql sql_statement;
  

• Embedded SQL keywords are not case sensitive. exec sql, EXEC SQL, Exec Sql, or any other of case mix is equally valid. This manual shows Embedded SQL keywords in lowercase. For example:

  exec sql commit work;
