Introduction
In This Guide
The OpenSQL Reference Guide describes OpenSQL usage and syntax.
OpenSQL was specifically designed to be compatible across several SQL dialects. OpenSQL is functionally equivalent to Ingres SQL without the extensions specific to Ingres. This guide is designed for programmers who write applications that are portable across all EDBC, Enterprise Access, and Ingres servers.
Note:  If you are working through an Enterprise Access product, see your Enterprise Access product documentation for information about syntax that may differ from that described in this guide.
