Direct copy and likely copyright violation. I have removed it. 68.39.174.238 18:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

MySql...so does it or doesn't it?

MySql is listed in both the support and not support. The text under support seems to be copy-pasted from the Microsoft SQL above it. The reference for the does NOT support does indeed say that it's not natively supported, but seems to be a project to add support. It's not clear at all and I don't want to muddy the waters by changing things to fit my best guesses. 66.14.187.7 (talk) 00:27, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Database engines do not support Embedded SQL

I suppose this is a nit, but statements such as "xxx SQL does not support Embedded SQL." are incorrect. It may be that the "xxx SQL" vendor does not provide an Embedded SQL preprocessor.

Support for Embedded SQL is in the compiler tool chain, not the database engine itself. Therefore, any database engine that can be accessed by a high level language (i.e., has an SDK) does support Embedded SQL; whether there is an actual preprocessor provided by the vendor is irrelevant. The SQL engine does know, or care, if the SQL interface calls were hand coded or the result of Embedded SQL preprocessing.

Suggest rephrasing the statements to indicate whether the database engine vendor provides/supports an Embedded SQL Preprocessor tool.
