descriptor statements have the following shortcomings
-- up to now the only reasonable statement is
- FETCH ... INTO SQL DESCRIPTOR <name>
- no input variables allowed!
+- input descriptors (USING DESCRIPTOR <name>) are not supported
Reason: to fully support dynamic SQL the frontend/backend communication
should change to recognize input parameters.
Since this is not likely to happen in the near future and you
can cover the same functionality with the existing infrastructure
- I'll leave the work to someone else.
-
-- string buffer overflow does not always generate warnings
- (beware: terminating 0 may be missing because strncpy is used)
- :var=data sets sqlwarn accordingly (but not indicator)
-
-- char variables pointing to NULL are not allocated on demand
-
-- string truncation does not show up in indicator
+ (using s[n]printf), I'll leave the work to someone else.
