Introduction

There are a few practical concepts that are fundamental to developing ODBC applications. This chapter presents these concepts in the context of f90SQL and gives some practical examples of their application. The examples are all in Fortran 90 free format. In most cases, you can just copy and paste them into your favorite editor, make any necessary modifications and compile the code. For the code to work, you need the f90SQL library. Check Chapter 11 for instructions on how to link the your Fortran applications to the f90SQL library using different compilers.
