SQL_ATTR_DBC_SYS_NAMING is used on the sqlsetconnectattr() API
  • SQL_TRUE - switch the connection to SYSTEM naming
  • SQL_FALSE - switch the connection to SQL naming
 
sqlsetconnectattr() can be called before or after a connection is made
SET PATH = *LIBL can be used to reset the path for system naming use
 
This support is implemented via a special package flow which is flown at execute time.
Example:
Typical execution:
> > > quickc 1 1 sysnam rwpgmr rwp2gmr
> sqlallocstmt 1 1
> sqlsetconnectattr 1 SQL_ATTR_DBC_SYS_NAMING SQL_TRUE
> sqlexecdirec 1 "create schema ashok" -3
> sqlexecdirec 1 "set current schema ashok" -3
> sqlexecdirec 1 "create table ashok/emp1 (id1 int)" -3
