F90SQL-Pro: Detailed Description of Features

In addition to the features described for f90SQL-lite, f90SQL-Pro gives you access to the full Core, Level 1 and Level 2 ODBC API functions. These functions allow you to:

Specify the schema of database tables and views (using two and three-part naming)
Handle dynamic parameters, including arrays of parameters by calling f90SQLBindParameter and f90SQLNumParams and specify a bind offset.
Use not only input parameters, but also output and input/output parameters, and result values of stored procedures.
Use bookmarks, including retrieving bookmarks by calling f90SQLDescribeCol and f90SQLColAttribute on column number 0; fetching based on a bookmark by calling f90SQLFetchScroll with the FetchOrientation argument set to SQL_FETCH_BOOKMARK; and update, delete, and fetch by bookmark operations by calling f90SQLBulkOperations with the Operation argument set to SQL_UPDATE_BY_BOOKMARK, SQL_DELETE_BY_BOOKMARK, or SQL_FETCH_BY_BOOKMARK.
Use the data-at-execution dialog, involving calls to f90SQLParamData and f90SQLPutData.
Retrieve advanced information on the data dictionary, by calling f90SQLColumnPrivileges, f90SQLForeignKeys, and f90SQLTablePrivileges
Invoke true asynchronous execution of ODBC functions, where applicable ODBC functions are all synchronous or all asynchronous on a given connection or enable asynchronous execution of ODBC functions for specified individual statements
Use scrollable cursors, and thereby achieve access to a result set in methods other than forward-only, by calling f90SQLFetchScroll with the FetchOrientation argument other than SQL_FETCH_NEXT.
Obtain primary keys of tables, by calling f90SQLPrimaryKeys. Manage data sources and connections, by calling f90SQLConnect, f90SQLDataSources, f90SQLDisconnect, and f90SQLDriverConnect.
Obtain information on drivers, no matter which ODBC level they support, by calling f90SQLDrivers.
Obtain the SQL_ROWVER row-identifying column of tables, by calling f90SQLSpecialColumns with parameter SQL_BEST_ROWID.
Use stored procedures, through the ODBC escape sequence for procedure calls; and query the data dictionary regarding stored procedures, by calling f90SQLProcedureColumns and f90SQLProcedures.
Connect to a data source by interactively browsing the available servers, by calling f90SQLBrowseConnect.
Prepare and execute SQL statements, by calling f90SQLExecDirect, f90SQLExecute, and f90SQLPrepare
Use ODBC functions instead of SQL statements to perform additional database operations, by calling f90SQLBulkOperations with SQL_ADD, or f90SQLSetPos with SQL_POSITION, SQL_REFRESH, SQL_DELETE or SQL_UPDATE.
Gain access to the contents of multiple result sets generated by batches and stored procedures, by calling f90SQLMoreResults.
Obtain an unbound column in parts, by calling f90SQLGetData.
Delimit transactions spanning several ODBC functions, with true atomicity and the ability to specify SQL_ROLLBACK in f90SQLEndTran.
Set the SQL_ATTR_CONCURRENCY statement attribute to at least one value other than SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY.
Manipulate certain fields of descriptors, by calling f90SQLCopyDesc, f90SQLGetDescField, f90SQLGetDescRec, f90SQLSetDescField and f90SQLSetDescRec.
The ability to time out login request and SQL queries (SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT and SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT).
The ability to change the default isolation level; the ability to execute transactions with the “serializable” level of isolation.
