This chapter described dynamic SQL, a set of Embedded SQL statements that permit online applications to access the database interactively. This interaction with the database lets a user define and execute SQL statements at runtime.
The four dynamic SQL Methods are:
Method 1: execute immediate
Method 2: prepare and execute
Method 3: prepare and fetch
Method 4: prepare and fetch with dynamic descriptors
The next chapter describes how to detect and correct Embedded SQL errors.
