When you want to write an ODBC application for portability, you should make sure you are not using any of the vendor specific syntax.
By the way, MySQL follows strict ANSI SQL standards 89, 92 and 99. So, I guess you should be able to do with the same syntax without any problems. MySQL helps you in order to make the portability applications, by differentiating between the standard and its own syntax. You can find more about this, in the following link: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Introduction.html#Comp atibility Hope this helps you Regards, venu > > Venu wrote: > > >You can execute any valid SQL statements through SQLExecDirect API.
