Thread: Embedded sql PREPARE statement

Embedded sql PREPARE statement

From
"Thalis A. Kalfigopoulos"
Date:
Again from the ecpg docs. In http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?app-ecpg.html it mentions at the end of the page
inthe NOTES section: 
"There is no EXEC SQL PREPARE statement."

I used it in creating a dynamic query and worked just fine. Actually ommiting it causes the program not to work :-(
Is the doc comment obsolete or is there something missing from the functionality of PREPARE?

cheers,
thalis

ps there is even an sqlca error (code -230) related to not having prepared a statement

Ouch, this is way outdated. There is a PREPARE statement.
