<p>SQL manages information based on the relational model of data. SQL statements
|
||
|
|
can be embedded in high-level languages, dynamically prepared and run, or
|
||
|
|
run interactively. For information about embedded SQL, see <a href="../rzajp/rzajpkickoff.htm">Embedded SQL</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>SQL consists of statements and clauses that describe what you want to do
|
||
|
|
with the data in a database and under what conditions you want to do it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>SQL can access data in a remote relational database, using the IBM<sup>®</sup> Distributed
|
||
|
|
Relational Database Architecture* (DRDA*).</p>
