Stored procedures
Stored procedures encapsulate a series of SQL commands that the server can
execute as a single command. System stored procedures (SSPs) are created
when the server is installed.
The client
A client uses functions provided by the CT-Library (CT-Lib) and Common
Library (CS-Lib) APIs to establish a connection to the server, submit requests
to the server, and receive results back from the server.
