SQL adaptation guide For Sybase ASE 15.5+ / BDL programming |
Informix® supports insert cursors. An "insert cursor" is a special BDL cursor declared with an INSERT statement instead of a SELECT statement. When this kind of cursor is open, you can use the PUT instruction to add rows and the FLUSH instruction to insert the records into the database.
For Informix database with transactions, OPEN, PUT and FLUSH instructions must be executed within a transaction.
Sybase ASE does not support insert cursors.
Insert cursors are emulated by the Sybase ASE database interface.
