Guide and Reference


Progress/ESQL

You can embed Progress/ESQL within C source code. You can edit using your favorite text editor, then preprocess, compile, and link (against ESQL-LIB) to produce an executable, which you can run like any other executable.

You must end each Progress/ESQL statement with a semicolon, which is the C statement terminator.

In order to use a C data item in an Progress/ESQL statement, you must first declare the “host variable” to ESQL, and then you must prepend a colon to the C data item within the SQL statement.

Certain Progress 4GL extensions to SQL are not available in Progress/ESQL.

NOTE

For more information on Progress/ESQL, see the Progress Embedded SQL-89 Guide and Reference .
