%Library.SQLGatewayConnection

class %Library.SQLGatewayConnection extends %Library.RegisteredObject

The SQLGatewayConnection class provides low level access to the SQLGateway The user should understand how to make ODBC calls in order to use this class Most of the calls which return %Status also set the ..sqlcode property. The user should check ..sqlcode if return status is not $$$OK. The user can use a %SQLGatewayConnection class as follows:
  #include %occInclude
  	//Create new Gateway connection object
  	set gc=##class(%SQLGatewayConnection).%New()
  	If gc=$$$NULLOREF quit $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError,"Cannot create %SQLGatewayConnection.")
  		  
  	//Make connection to target DSN
  	s pDSN="Cache Samples"
  	s usr="_system"
  	s pwd="SYS"
  	set sc=gc.Connect(pDSN,usr,pwd,0) 
  	If $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc
  	if gc.ConnectionHandle="" quit $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError,"Connection failed")
  		  
  	set sc=gc.AllocateStatement(.hstmt) 
  	if $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc
  		  
  	//Prepare statement for execution
  	set pQuery= "select * from Sample.Person"
  	set sc=gc.Prepare(hstmt,pQuery) 
  	if $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc
  	//Execute statement
  	set sc=gc.Execute(hstmt)
  	if $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc
  	//Get list of columns returned by query
  	set sc=gc.DescribeColumns(hstmt, .columnlist) 
  	if $$$ISERR(sc) quit sc
  	 
  	//display column headers delimited by ":"
  	set numcols=$listlength(columnlist)-1  //get number of columns
  	for colnum=2:1:numcols+1 {
  		    Write $listget($listget(columnlist,colnum),1),":"
  	  		}
  	write !

  		      	w " "_val
  		      	if $$$ISERR(sc) break
  	      	}
