Takes you through the steps required to create a SQL CLR stored procedure for OpenESQL and calling it from an OpenESQL application.
Using the SQL CLR Integration feature in
Enterprise Developer, you can code stored procedures, user-defined functions, aggregates, triggers, and user-defined types that contain EXEC SQL
statements, and compile the code using the OpenESQL preprocessor.
The scenario that represents the most common and best use of the SQL CLR Integration feature in
Enterprise Developer is that of creating a SQL CLR stored procedure for OpenESQL and calling it from an OpenESQL application. Here, we provide
a series of tutorials that lead you through this processes.
