esqla Command—Invoke Embedded SQL Preprocessor for Ada
The esqla command invokes the Ingres embedded SQL (ESQL) preprocessor for Ada.
The esqla command has the following format:
esqla [flags] [filename]
flags
Specify options to the preprocessor.
These flags are common to most host language preprocessors, and are described under the esqlc command (see page esqlc Command—Invoke Embedded SQL Preprocessor for C).
The following flag is unique to the preprocessor for Ada:
-avads
On VMS, generates code for VADS on systems that have both an OpenVMS preprocessor and VADS Ada preprocessor. This flag is required.
filename
Specifies the name of the file that contains the embedded SQL statements.
For a complete description of the SQL preprocessor requirements for Ada, see the Embedded SQL Companion Guide.
