SQL Server Native Client Command Syntax

The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider recognizes command syntax specified by the DBGUID_SQL macro. For the SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider, the specifier indicates that an amalgam of ODBC SQL, ISO, and Transact-SQL is valid syntax. For example, the following SQL statement uses an ODBC SQL escape sequence to specify the LCASE string function:

SELECT customerid={fn LCASE(CustomerID)} FROM Customers

LCASE returns a character string, converting all uppercase characters to their lowercase equivalents. The ISO string function LOWER performs the same operation, so the following SQL statement is a ISO equivalent to the ODBC statement presented above:

SELECT customerid=LOWER(CustomerID) FROM Customers

The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider processes either form of the statement successfully when specified as text for a command.

Stored Procedures

When executing a SQL Server stored procedure using a SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider command, use the ODBC CALL escape sequence in the command text. The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider then uses the remote procedure call mechanism of SQL Server to optimize command processing. For example, the following ODBC SQL statement is preferred command text over the Transact-SQL form:

  • ODBC SQL

    {call SalesByCategory('Produce', '1995')}

  • Transact-SQL

    EXECUTE SalesByCategory 'Produce', '1995'
