Background documentation SQL Mode (UNIX/Linux) Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

By changing the SQLMode option, you can use the MaxDB ODBC driver in a different SQL mode. This means that the driver can process not only the ODBC and MaxDB-specific SQL syntax, but also the ORACLE or DB2 syntax, for example.

The default value is INTERNAL.

If you migrate ODBC applications from other database systems, specifying this option can simplify the way the SQL statements are customized.

Syntax

SQLMode =
  INTERNAL
| DB2
| ANSI
| ORACLE

Procedure

To change the SQLMode option, follow the procedure described under Creating and Changing Data Sources on UNIX/Linux [Page 28].

The value defined in this way then applies for all connections of the data source.
