ESQL/C GuideThe topics explain how to use HCL OneDB™ ESQL/C, the HCL OneDB™ implementation of Embedded Structured Query Language (SQL) for C (ESQL/C), to create client applications with database-management capabilities. The HCL® OneDB® ESQL/C Programmer's Manual explains how to use HCL OneDB™ ESQL/C, the HCL OneDB™ implementation of Embedded Structured Query Language (SQL) for C (ESQL/C), to create client applications with database-management capabilities.
Database server communication
Working with the database serverThese topics explain how the HCL® OneDB® ESQL/C program can interact with a database server.

Check the status of the database server

Some interactions with the database server cannot execute unless the database server is idle. Other actions assume that the database server is busy processing a request. You can check whether the database server is currently processing an SQL request with the sqldone() function. This function returns 0 if the database server is idle and a negative value if it is busy.
