I've had a look at the reference manuals for Oracles embedded SQL
program interface (happened to be for DOS, but I imagine that its
consistent for all platforms supported) and I've looked at the Ingres
reference books for ESQL for SCO UNIX/ODT.  The way host variables are
handled and so forth appear amazingly similar.  I was wondering, for those
of you who've dealt with the equivalent 3gl interfaces in sybase, informix
and what-not, is it the same there too?  Is embedded SQL similar for all
vendors which support it?  Is it a part of the SQL standard (if such
exists)?
