ODBC data manipulation

Introduction

The OmniMark ODBC library contains several functions that provide easy, efficient, and portable access to ODBC data sources from within an OmniMark program. This includes functions used to manipulate data within the data source and modify the structure of the data. This sample describes how to use these functions to:

• determine supported data types
• set the cursor name
• perform extended fetch and cursor scrolling
• insert and delete ODBC records
• perform piece-wise data insertion and retrieval
• retrieve table names and statistics
• retrieve column names and descriptions, and special columns
