Dynamic SQL Operations

HP NonStop SQL/MP Programming Manual for C—429847-008

10-11

Input Parameters and Output Variables

Determining Character Set IDs From the 

precision

 Field 

Table 10-6

 describes the character-set values that NonStop SQL/MP returns to the 

SQLDA 

precision

 field for CHAR and VARCHAR data types and the character-set 

declarations in the 

sqlh

 file that you can use in a C program: 

  

For CHAR and VARCHAR parameters and variables, the 

precision

 field contains 

the character set ID. When a dynamic SQL statement runs, NonStop SQL/MP checks 
the 

precision

 field to ensure that the character-set ID matches the expected 

character set of the parameter or column, which is determined by the value in 
COLUMNS.CHARACTERSET. 

If the character sets do not match, NonStop SQL/MP returns an error. However, if the 
program expects an unknown character set and the CHARACTERSET value for the 
parameter or column indicates a single-byte character set, NonStop SQL/MP does not 
return an error. 

Input Parameters and Output Variables

A parameter is a name in a dynamic SQL statement that serves as a place holder for a 
value substituted when the statement runs. Using a parameter, an SQL statement can 
be compiled without the input values. The input values are then substituted when the 
statement runs. The syntax for a parameter is shown in the 

SQL/MP Reference 

Manual.

Input parameters are specified in the statement as either a question mark (?) or a 
question mark plus a name (

?val

). An input parameter can appear in an SQL 

expression wherever a constant can appear. The program uses the DESCRIBE INPUT 

Table 10-6. SQLDA Character-Set IDs
