Programming embedded SQL applications

Programming embedded SQL applications involves of all of the steps required to assemble an application in a chosen embedded SQL programming language. Once you determine that embedded SQL is the appropriate API to meet your programming needs, and after you design your embedded SQL application, you will be ready to program an embedded SQL application.

Programming embedded SQL applications consists of the following sub-tasks:

• Including the required header files
• Choosing a supported embedded SQL programming language
• Declaring host variables for representing values to be included in SQL statements
• Connecting to a data source
• Executing SQL statements
• Handling SQL errors and warnings related to SQL statement execution
• Disconnecting from the data source

Once you have a complete embedded SQL application you'll be ready to compile and run your application: Building embedded SQL applications.
