FETCH Examples
1. Typical fetch, with associated cursor statements.
exec sql begin declare section;
name character_string(20);
age integer;
exec sql end declare section;
exec sql declare cursor1 cursor for
select ename, age
from employee
order by ename;
...
exec sql open cursor1 for readonly;
loop until no more rows
exec sql fetch cursor1
into :name, :age;
print name, age;
end loop;
exec sql close cursor1;
Assuming the structure:
Emprec
name character_string(20),
age integer;
the fetch in the above example can be written as:
exec sql fetch cursor1
into :emprec;
The preprocessor interprets that statement as though it had been written:
exec sql fetch cursor1
into :emprec.name, :emprec.age;
2. Fetch, using an indicator variable.
exec sql fetch cursor2 into :name,
:salary:salary_ind;
