This chapter describes how to code SQL statements directly into a program for subsequent preprocessing. These statements which are known before running the program are called static SQL statements. Those that are not known until the program is actually run, and have to be built dynamically at run time from input by the user, are called dynamic and extended dynamic SQL statements. Refer to Chapter 7, "Using Dynamic Statements" for a detailed description of dynamic statements and, Chapter 8, "Using Extended Dynamic Statements" for a detailed description of extended dynamic statements.
