Example 1

These statements create a database table named Trainees. The statements use the string Mysql to store the CREATE statement.

For Sybase ASE users If you are connected to an ASE database, set AUTOCOMMIT to true before executing the CREATE.

string MyASE

MyASE = "CREATE TABLE Trainees "&

		+"(emp_id integer not null,"&

		+"emp_fname char(10) not null, "&

		+"emp_lname char(20) not null)"

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :MyASE ;

Example 2

string MyASE

MyASE="INSERT INTO department Values (1234,"&

       +"'Purchasing',1234)"

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :MyASE USING My_trans ;
