SQL commands not represented by text

If you use Client-Library™ functions not represented by text (such as ct_cursor or ct_dynamic) to issue SQL commands, Client-Library encodes the information for efficiency, and Adaptive Server generally decodes and displays key command information. For example, if you open a cursor with ct_cursor and the command is running, the Adaptive Server Monitor event summary displays the cursor name and the cursor declare statement.

Table 5-3 lists a complete list of the Client-Library functions not represented by text:
