Re: Fetching into different host variable types

I took a brief look at the SQL CLI API's and that seemed like a dark art to
me - and I'm fearless!

My workaround was a series of select statements each using a different
fetch.  Put this into a subroutine - crude but effective.

Hello Rob,

It's been a very long time since I did anything like this but I think you
need to build an SQLDA to accomplish this.  You could probably use the SQL
CLI APIs also.
