module language
module language. A language for expressing SQL operations in pure SQL syntactic form
used in module definition files and embedded module definitions.
module management qualified module name. See externally qualified module name.
Module TableSet Specification String (MTSS). A regular identifier used by the Module
Management subsystem to represent a table set or target. The C, C++, and COBOL
preprocessors and SQLJ Customizer append a leading circumflex (^) character and
the MTSS to a processed module name. See also processed module name.
Module Version Specification String (MVSS). A regular identifier used by the Module
Management subsystem to represent a version. The C, C++, and COBOL
preprocessors and SQLJ Customizer append a leading circumflex (^) character and
the MVSS to a processed module name. See also processed module name.
MPALIAS table. A SQL/MP user metadata table created by SQL/MX that contains
mappings from logical object names to physical NonStop operating system locations.
The MPALIAS table is obsolete in Release 2.0. Starting with Release 2.0, these
mappings are created in existing catalogs and schemas and are stored in SQL/MX
metadata as SQL/MX aliases that consist of the catalog, schema, and name. See also
alias mapping and user metadata tables.
MTSS. See Module TableSet Specification String (MTSS).
MultiDimensional Access Method (MDAM). See MDAM.
MVSS. See Module Version Specification String (MVSS).
MXCI. SQL/MX conversational interface. MXCI enables a user to execute SQL/MX
statements and commands, and operate database utilities without embedding the SQL
statements in an application. Contrast with programmatic SQL.
MXCS. SQL/MX connectivity services. The services provided by the NonStop operating
system that enable connectivity APIs, such as ODBC and JDBC, to access SQL/MX.
MXCS server. The component of the SQL/MX connectivity service (MXCS) that connects to
a remote SQL/MX client.
MXCI parameter. A name (up to 128 alphanumeric characters and underscore) preceded
by a question mark (?) in an SQL statement (to be run within an MXCI session) that
serves as a placeholder for a value substituted when the statement executes. See also
SQL parameter.
MXCI session. See session
.
mxcmp. The SQL compiler. See SQL compiler
.
MXSQLC. The SQL/MX C/C++ preprocessor. See SQL preprocessor.
