ISO/IEC 9075-2:2003 (E) DRAFT 4.24 Dynamic SQL concepts Many SQL-statements can be written to use parameters (which are manifested in static execution of SQL statements as host parameters in <SQL procedure statement>s contained in <externally-invoked procedure>s in <SQL-client module definition>s or as host variables in <embedded SQL statement>s contained in <embedded SQL host program>s). In SQL-statements that are executed dynamically, the parameters are called dynamic parameters (<dynamic parameter specification>s) and are represented in SQL language by a <question mark> (?).
