Programming Capabilities and Options

The objective of ESQL is to allow a C Language application to interact with Progress using SQL. To this end, ESQL enables you to access Progress/SQL plus additional capabilities only in ESQL. These capabilities include requirements and options unique to its C programming environment.

Using ESQL, you can execute any data manipulation language (DML) or data definition language (DDL) statement available in Progress/SQL. In addition, you can execute some DDL statements not available in Progress/SQL, for example, the CREATE SCHEMA statement. For more information on Progress/SQL DML and DDL statements, see the Progress SQL-89 Guide and Reference .
