Comments in an SQLJ application

To document your SQLJ program, you need to include comments. To do that, use
Java comments. Java comments are denoted by /* */ or //.
You can include Java comments outside SQLJ clauses, wherever the Java language
permits them. Within an SQLJ clause, you can use Java comments in the following
places:
v Within a host expression (/* */ or //).
v Within an SQL statement in an executable clause, if the data source supports a

SQL statement execution in SQLJ applications

You execute SQL statements in a traditional SQL program to create tables, update
data in tables, retrieve data from the tables, call stored procedures, or commit or
roll back transactions. In an SQLJ program, you also execute these statements,
within SQLJ executable clauses.
An executable clause can have one of the following general forms:
#sql [connection-context] {sql-statement};
#sql [connection-context,execution-context] {sql-statement};
#sql [execution-context] {sql-statement};

Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java
SQLJ. Do not begin the following types of names with __sJT_:
– Host expression names
– Java variable names that are declared in blocks that include executable SQL
statements
– Names of parameters for methods that contain executable SQL statements
– Names of fields in classes that contain executable SQL statements, or in
classes with subclasses or enclosed classes that contain executable SQL
statements
generated by SQLJ. Avoid using the string _SJ in class names and input source
file names.

/* and */ pairs in an SQL statement can be nested.

In an executable clause, you should always specify an explicit connection
context, with one exception: you do not specify an explicit connection context
for a FETCH statement. You include an execution context only for specific
cases. See "Control the execution of SQL statements in SQLJ" for information
about when you need an execution context.
