A FedSQL statement
is a series of items that can include keywords, identifiers, special
characters, and operators. All FedSQL statements end with a semicolon.
There are three categories
of statements:
data definition
statements that are
used to create, modify, and delete tables and views.
data control
statements that are
used to control transactions with the database.
data manipulation
statements that are
used to add, update, and delete data.
SQL pass-through facility
statements that connect
to a DBMS and enable you to send DBMS-specific SQL statements directly
to the DBMS.
