installation and management:

Examples in This Manual

The examples in this manual are written in C/C++ and COBOL.

Unless otherwise stated, all C examples use the default SQL/MX VARCHAR.

Many examples in this manual are incorporated into the complete C and C++ programs

in Appendix A, C Sample Programs, Appendix B, C++ Sample Program, and into the

complete COBOL programs in Appendix C, COBOL Sample Programs.

SQL/MP Installation and

Management Guide

Describes how to plan, install, create, and manage

an SQL/MP database. Describes installation and

management commands and SQL/MP catalogs

and files.

Note. Many of the examples in this manual use the SQL/MX Release 2.x sample database,

which uses SQL/MX format tables. To install the sample database, you must have a license to

use SQL/MX DDL statements. To acquire the license, purchase product T0394. Without this

product, you cannot install the sample database; an error message informs you that the

system is not licensed.
