Basic Progress/ESQL Syntax

An ESQL statement has the following general syntax:

SYNTAX
EXEC SQL statement-spec ; 

Each ESQL statement begins with the EXEC SQL prefix to identify it as an ESQL statement to the SQL preprocessor. The statement-spec component can be any Progress/SQL statement (with the necessary modifications) or other ESQL statement elements. When statement-spec is a Progress/SQL statement, you are using static ESQL.

The maximum size of an ESQL statement is 4K.
