<P>To interact with a data source, a simple application:<A NAME="I3"></A>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<UL>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>Connects to the data source. It specifies the data source name and any additional information needed to complete the connection.<A NAME="I4"></A>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>Processes one or more SQL statements:
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>The application places the SQL text string in a buffer. If the statement includes parameter markers, it sets the parameter values.
</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>If the statement returns a result set, the application assigns a cursor name for the statement or allows the driver to do so.
</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>The application submits the statement for prepared or immediate execution.
</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>If the statement creates a result set, the application can inquire about the attributes of the result set, such as the number of columns and the name and type of a specific column. It assigns storage for each column in the result set and fetches the results.
</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>If the statement causes an error, the application retrieves error information from the driver and takes appropriate action.<A NAME="I5"></A>
</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>Ends each transaction by committing it or rolling it back.<A NAME="I6"></A>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI>Terminates the connection when it has finished interacting with the data source.<A NAME="I7"></A>
