Development Environments for SQL/MX Applications
The development environment is where you code, compile, and test applications. The
type of SQL/MX development environment depends on the type of application and the
host-language compilers. Table 4-14
on page 4-54 lists the development environments
of several types of SQL/MX applications and refers to sources where you can learn
more about how to compile these applications.
Converting Guardian Applications to OSS
Open System Services (OSS) is an open interface through which programs can
interact with the NonStop operating system. OSS coexists with the Guardian
environment on a NonStop system. Several SQL/MX processes and utilities run in the
OSS environment, and most SQL/MX applications are compiled and executed by
default in the OSS environment.
Embedded SQL/MX applications are not restricted to being compiled and executed in
the OSS environment. You can use OSS pass-through commands to compile and
