The following common routines are used in most basic applications.

Routine Description
DBCHINI Initializes the DBCAREA, which is shared by an application and most CLIv2 routines. DBCHINI also does the internal initialization of CLIv2.
DBCHCL
  • Connects a session on Teradata Database (the database itself).
  • Checks that the logon was successful.
  • Ends the Connect request.
  • Sends Teradata SQL statements (for example, selects rows from a table).
  • Process the response (for example, obtains rows from table).
  • Ends the request.
  • Disconnects the session.
DBCHCLN Cleans up after an application is finished using Teradata Database.

When DBCHCLN is called and the return code is zero, data structures allocated internally during the calls to CLIv2 routines have been deallocated.
