+ | Optionally specify which API to use for processing subsequent statements. The USING clause facilitates the testing of ODBC and JDBC environments for testing and optimization. | ||
- | * ODBC | + | Allowable values for API are: |
- | * JDBC | + | * ODBC - Open Data Base Connectivity |
- | * CLOA | + | * JDBC - Java Data Base Connectivity |

* OA - OmniAccess - this is the default if no USING clause is specified. | * OA - OmniAccess - this is the default if no USING clause is specified. | ||
