SQL Support

Go Up to Primary InterBase Features

InterBase conforms to entry-level SQL-92 requirements. It supports declarative referential integrity with cascading operations, updatable views, and outer joins. InterBase Server provides libraries that support development of embedded SQL and DSQL client applications. On all InterBase platforms, client applications can be written to the InterBase API, a library of functions with which to send requests for database operations to the server.

InterBase also supports extended SQL features, some of which anticipate SQL99 extensions to the SQL standard. These include stored procedures, triggers, SQL roles, and segmented Blob support.
