We are having problems with dblibrary c functions. According to
the manual, a call to dbsqlexec is supposed to wait until the server
is finished processing before returning control back to the calling
program. Or is it? Am I misunderstanding something here? Anyhow,
whenever we call an internal sql procedure that takes more than a few
seconds to finish, sqlexec takes off and the process stops and results
are incomplete. What can I do to get dbsqlexec to wait until the internal
sql proc finishes? Thanks...
