another section if required by the platform (instead of the old way of building them in section "l" and always transforming them to the platform-specific section). This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some funny business with the man page tools and build process.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>EXECUTE</command> is used to execute a previously prepared
|
|
statement. Since prepared statements only exist for the duration of a
|
|
session, the prepared statement must have been created by a
|
|
<command>PREPARE</command> statement executed earlier in the
|
|
current session.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the <command>PREPARE</command> statement that created the statement
|
|
specified some parameters, a compatible set of parameters must be
|
|
passed to the <command>EXECUTE</command> statement, or else an
|
|
error is raised. Note that (unlike functions) prepared statements are
|
|
not overloaded based on the type or number of their parameters; the
|
|
name of a prepared statement must be unique within a database session.

The actual value of a parameter to the prepared statement. This

must be an expression yielding a value that is compatible with

the data type of this parameter, as was determined when the
|
|
prepared statement was created.

<para>

The SQL standard includes an <command>EXECUTE</command> statement,
|
|
but it is only for use in embedded SQL. This version of the
|
|
<command>EXECUTE</command> statement also uses a somewhat different
|
|
syntax.
