Fetching data

Fetching data in embedded SQL is done using the SELECT statement. There are two cases:

  • The SELECT statement returns at most one row   Use an INTO clause to assign the returned values directly to host variables.

  • The SELECT statement may return multiple rows   Use cursors to manage the rows of the result set.
