3. Embedded SQL in C (or f77,Cobol) --- programming language interfaces
  • Procedural high-level programming langauges (often called 3GL).
  • All capability and flexibility in C-level programming as a host language to embed the SQL statement as the data-access for querying the database engine.
  • Poweful in programming but complex sematics and inconvenient interface to SQL.
  • Usually you need to know many programming/libary details to interface the both in programming.
  • Good for pre-/post-processing to the query but bad for query programming.
