Publisher's Synopsis
Designed to show programmers how to interface C with SQL, this volume reveals and explains tricks of the SQL masters for achieving efficient programs. It explains how to build programs using embedded SQL or an application programming interface (APS)- using Microsoft ODBC as an example APS. It features generic programming explanations that outline the best ways to interface with any SQL product that conforms to the ANSI standard, and provides MS-DOS based example programs - which will run under Microsoft Windows without using the full Windows graphics capabilities - on a disk.
