Introduction

This chapter describes the general steps followed by an ODBC application. Figure 5.1 shows a  flowchart that represents the order in which these steps take place. It also includes some representative f90SQL subroutines used at each step. It is unlikely that a single application will use all the f90SQL functions shown in the flowchart.

The remaining sections of this chapter will explain in more detail each of the steps represented in the flowchart from Figure 5.1.
