Embedded SQL Programming Guide
Your application can use APIs to access database manager facilities that
are not available using SQL statements. For complete details on the
APIs available with the database manager and how to call them, see the
examples in the API Reference.
You can use the DB2 APIs to:
- Manipulate the database manager environment, which includes cataloging and
uncataloging of databases and nodes, and scanning database and node
directories. You can also use APIs to create, delete, and migrate
databases.
- Provide facilities to import and export data, and administer, backup, and
restore the database.
- Manipulate the database manager configuration file and the database
configuration files.
- Provide operations specific to the client/server environment.
- Provide the run-time interface for precompiled SQL statements.
These APIs are not usually called directly by the programmer. Instead,
they are inserted into the modified source file by the precompiler after
processing.
Included are APIs for language vendors who want to write their own
precompiler, and other APIs useful for developing applications.
For complete details on the APIs available with the database manager and
how to call them, see the examples in the API Reference.
