Starting with WebDNA 6.0, new language elements have been added to provide native support for major relational database systems, such as the MySQL RDBMS. Currently, the new WebDNA SQL contexts support the mySQL RDBMS with support for MS SQL Server and Oracle planned for future releases.

Unlike the existing [SQL] context, which uses ODBC, these new contexts utilize various C++ API libraries to communicate directly to local or remote SQL database servers.

These contexts have been engineered for inuitive, easy use. Below you'll find an overview of new contexts and global tags. You'll also see some existing contexts that have been leveraged to support this new funcionality where it makes sense, in keeping with the functionality and behavior you're already used to employing when dealing with WebDNA databases.

New Contexts:
[SQLConnect]
[SQLExecute]
[SQLResult]
[SQLInfo]

New Global Tags:
[SQLDisconnect]
[SQLRelease]

Re-tooled Contexts:
[FoundItems]
[ListFields]
