This section introduces a conceptual view of a typical DB2 CLI application.
A DB2 CLI application can be broken down into a set of tasks. Some of these tasks are organized into discrete steps, while others may apply throughout the application.
Tasks described in this section are basic tasks that apply to all applications. More advanced tasks, such as using array insert or using large object support are discussed in the Advanced Features section.
Every DB2 CLI application contains three main tasks:
As well as the tree tasks listed above, there are general tasks, such as exception handling and retrieval of diagnostic messages, which occur throughout an application.
