Call-level-interface
call-level interface
database, standard
(SQL/CLI) A programming interface designed to support SQL access to databases from shrink-wrapped application programs.
CLI was originally created by a subcommittee of the SQL Access Group (SAG). The SAG/CLI specification was published as the Microsoft Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) specification in 1992. In 1993, SAG submitted the CLI to the ANSI and ISO SQL committees.
SQL/CLI provides an international standard implementation-independent CLI to access SQL databases. Client-server tools can easily access databases through dynamic link libraries. It supports and encourages a rich set of client-server tools.
SQL/CLI is an addendum to 1992 SQL standard (SQL-92). It was completed as ISO standard ISO/IEC 9075-3:1995 Information technology — Database languages — SQL — Part 3: Call-Level Interface (SQL/CLI). The current SQL/CLI effort is adding support for SQL3.
