Interfaces

If the syntax for a function depends on the interface, each syntax appears under a separate subheading. Because there are few differences between parameters and usage in the different interfaces, there is a single parameter description and one Usage, Return, and Related topics section for each function. Where there are differences between the interfaces, these differences are described.

The naming convention for the SQL interface is different from that for the ESQL/C and API interfaces. For example, the SQL client copy function is called LLD_ToClient(), whereas the API and ESQL/C client copy functions are called lld_to_client(). This publication uses the API and ESQL/C naming convention unless referring specifically to an SQL function.
