Designing C and C++ routines

Designing C and C++ routines is a task that should precede creating C and C++ routines. Designing C and C++ routines is generally related to both designing external routines implemented in other programming languages and designing embedded SQL applications.

Before you begin

General knowledge of external routines
C or C++ programming experience
Optional: Knowledge of and experience with embedded SQL or CLI application development (if the routine will execute SQL statements)

The following topics can provide you with some of the required prerequisite information.

For more information on the features and uses of external routines:

Refer to the topic External routine implementation.

For more information on the characteristics of the embedded SQL API:

Refer to the topic, Introduction to embedded SQL

About this task

With the prerequisite knowledge, designing embedded SQL routines consists mainly of learning about the unique features and characteristics of C and C++ routines:
