Example of retrieving row and collection data from the database

The sample program, rcselect.c, retrieves row and collection data from the database and displays it.

This example also illustrates the fact that the same client functions can use row and collection handles interchangeably.

You can find the rcselect.c file in the %ONEDB_HOME%/demo/clidemo directory on UNIX™ and in the %ONEDB_HOME%\demo\odbcdemo directory in Windows™. You can also find instructions on how to build the odbc_demo database in the same location.
