esqlb Command--Invoke Embedded SQL Preprocessor for BASIC
The esqlb command invokes the Ingres embedded SQL (ESQL) preprocessor for BASIC.
The esqlb command has the following format:
esqlb [flags] [filename]
flags
Specify options to the preprocessor.
These flags are common to most host language preprocessors, and are described under the esqlc command (on page esqlc Command--Invoke Embedded SQL Preprocessor for C).
The following flags are unique to the preprocessor for BASIC:
-iN
Sets the default size of integers to N bytes. N must be 1, 2, or 4. The default is 4.
-rN
Sets default size of reals to N bytes. N must be 4 or 8. The default is 4.
filename
Specifies the name of the file that contains the embedded SQL statements.
For a complete description of the SQL preprocessor requirements for BASIC, see the Embedded SQL Companion Guide.
