Publisher's Synopsis
A collaborative effort between X/Open and the SQL Access Group, this book offers the SQL definitions specifying the application programming interface (API) for X/Open-compliant database management systems, and the RDA specification. It includes some SQL extensions reflecting the capabilities of current implementations. The RDA specification defines uses of the message fields and other implementation information, such as sequencing and optional features, and it shows how SQL statements map to the Remote Database Access (RDA) protocol.
