Statement applicability indicators

Some statement titles are followed by an indicator in square brackets that indicate where the statement can be used. These indicators are as follows:

• [ESQL]    The statement is for use in Embedded SQL.

• [Interactive SQL]    The statement can be used only in Interactive SQL.

• [SP]    The statement is for use in stored procedures, triggers, or batches.

• [T-SQL]    The statement is implemented for compatibility with Adaptive Server Enterprise. In some cases, the statement cannot be used in stored procedures that are not in Transact-SQL format. In other cases, an alternative statement closer to the SQL/92 standard is recommended unless Transact-SQL compatibility is an issue.

• [MobiLink]    The statement is for use only in MobiLink clients.

• [SQL Remote]    The statement can be used only in SQL Remote.

If two sets of brackets are used, the statement can be used in both environments. For example, [ESQL][SP] means a statement can be used in both embedded SQL and stored procedures.
