ecpg in Version 7.4

From
Paul Tilles
Date:
The Release Notes for version 7.4 contain an entry under "Miscellaneous
Interface Changes" which says

Add Informix compatibility to ECPG
This allows ECPG to process embedded C programs that were written using
CERTAIN INFORMIX EXTENSIONS

Could we get a list of these Informix extensions?

Thanx,
Paul Tilles

Paul,

It supports the $ notation, as well as many of the conversion functions.

have a look at the compatlib/informix.c file for the functions
supported.

It also inherits some of the informix idiosyncrasies, such as not
requiring  indicator variables to mark null's

I also have a port of the backend which inherits even more informixish
behavior, such as rowid, datetime types, etc.
