Release Notes for Microsoft Embedded SQL for C


Documentation for this product can be found on-line in the Microsoft 
Development Library that accompanies the Development Platform.  The 
following notes cover areas not addressed by the documentation.

Including WINDOWS.H:
---------------------
The graphical sample applications that include the WINDOWS.H header 
file (GENWIN.SQC  and EDBLIB.SQC) use the #define 
WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN.  This switch excludes a  number of 
infrequently used portions of the Windows header files and speeds up the  
precompile step.  It also excludes the header file OLE2.H which causes a 
syntax error with the current version of the ESQL precompiler.  This will be 
corrected in a future release of the precompiler.

If you include WINDOWS.H and use the SQL "delete" or "in" keywords, 
you should type the  SQL keyword in lower case to avoid conflict with a 
#defines in WINDOWS.H. 


Using statements longer than 1000 characters in bind file:
----------------------------------------------------------
If your static SQL statements in an ESQL application are longer than 1000 
characters and you use the /BIND option, isql.exe will not work with the 
generated bind file.  Use isqlw.exe instead.


Changes since Beta:
------------------
A number of library names have changed since beta:

	old name	new name
	--------	--------
	SQLAKN.DLL 	SQLAKW32.DLL
	SQLAKN.LIB 	SQLAKW32.LIB
	CAN.DLL		CAW32.DLL
	CAN.LIB		CAW32.LIB
	SQLAIN.DLL	SQLAIW32.DLL

The documentation and sample make files have been updated to reflect 
these new names.

The behavior of applications compiled by a user who is not sa or the owner 
of a  database has been changed.  Previously, the compiled program 
would always look for stored procedures owned by the user running the 
application, and if not found there, would look for procedures owned by the 
dbo.  Now, the compiled program will always look for procedures owned by 
the user that compiled them.  The length of the login id for the user
performing the compile is currently limited to 8 characters.
