Many things are the same; many extra features have been added. A miscellaneous collection of highlights includes: * String-named cursors and statements * SQLSTATE (maybe that's a low-light) * GET DIAGNOSTICS * SQL DESCRIPTORS (ALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR, etc) * New data types (DATETIME, INTERVAL, BYTE/TEXT, VARCHAR) * EXECUTE IMMEDIATE * INSERT cursors * GLS * Umpteen new SQL statements in the server For the rest, read the 7.x ESQL/C Manual. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
