This step provides data management functionality for the applica-
tion. In this example we will add records to the itemmast and cust-
mast tables, intended as static data. Then, sales orders will be
processed as a transaction and "commited" or "rolled back"
depending on the validity of the data. The final step will be to dis-
play the result of the transaction processing by dumping the con-
tents of the orderlist and orderitems tables.
• INSERT INTO - This will add a record by inserting it into the
table
• SELECT - Fetch records according to select criteria
• DELETE FROM - Delete records from a table.
• COMMIT WORK - Make changes permanent.
The following excerpt from iSQL_Tutorial4 shows the SQL syntax that would be used to
implement the entry of an order and related items as a transaction. The items and the order are
inserted, then a select statement is used to verify the existence of the item and customer num-
ber. iSQL is a tool that requires the user to interact. This script automatically implements the
appropriate commit or rollback statement based on the results of the verification.
