Example code conventions
Examples of SQL code occur throughout this publication. Except as noted, the code
is not specific to any single IBM Informix application development tool.
If only SQL statements are listed in the example, they are not delimited by
semicolons. For instance, you might see the code in the following example:
CONNECT TO stores_demo
...
DELETE FROM customer
WHERE customer_num = 121
...
COMMIT WORK
DISCONNECT CURRENT
To use this SQL code for a specific product, you must apply the syntax rules for
that product. For example, if you are using an SQL API, you must use EXEC SQL
at the start of each statement and a semicolon (or other appropriate delimiter) at
the end of the statement. If you are using DB–Access, you must delimit multiple
statements with semicolons.
Tip:
Ellipsis points in a code example indicate that more code would be added in
a full application, but it is not necessary to show it to describe the concept being
discussed.
For detailed directions on using SQL statements for a particular application
development tool or SQL API, see the documentation for your product.
