This chapter consists of a reference page for each Embedded SQL statement that either does not exist in Transact-SQL, or works differently from how it does in Transact-SQL. Refer to the Transact-SQL User’s Guide for descriptions of all other Transact-SQL statements that are valid in Embedded SQL.
Except for print, readtext and writetext, all Transact-SQL statements can be used in Embedded SQL, though the syntax of some statements differs as described in this chapter.
The reference pages in this chapter are arranged alphabetically. Each statement’s reference page:
Briefly states what the statement does
Describes the statement’s syntax
Explains the statement’s keywords and options
Comments on the statement’s proper use
Lists related statements, if any
Demonstrates the statement’s use in a brief example
