Overview of htmSQL Directives

htmSQL directives are commands that process SQL statements and results sets for your Web page. For more information on the structure of htmSQL input files, see htmSQL Input Files.
The following rules apply to all of the directives:
  • directives are delimited by braces {}
  • all htmSQL keywords (directives, parameters, parameter values) are not case-sensitive
  • unless otherwise noted, parameter values can be delimited by either double or single quotation marks
  • white space within a directive is ignored
  • no line breaks are allowed in the middle of any string that is delimited by quotation marks (").
