SQL is available for nearly every relational database I can think of. But I suppose the more relevant point is whether programmers use it? DB vendors supply and recommend other interfaces, usually higher level. That's what programmers prefer. OLE DB under Windows is a good example. Each language has a different interface. In Delphi, it's one thing. In Visual Basic it's another. In Visual Foxpro, another still. COBOL's interfaces are probably as cross-platform as SQL. It seems to me that IBM supplies an SQL interface in addition to, rather than as a replacement for native record level access. I'm not sure what most Java programmers use? It wouldn't surprise me if developers and vendors were writing their own high-level interfaces as wrappers around standard JDBC. > C/Exec SQL SELECT DISTINCT RCFCUS INTO :WCFCUS from RCFRCM02 > C+ WHERE RCFCUS = :RCFCUS and RCFRUM = :RCFRUMA > C/End-Exec Did you leave out the code that defines WCFCUS on purpose?
