This section provides manual pages for both high-level language constructs
and parts thereof. For example, the CREATE INDEX statement is a high-level
statement that you can execute directly via the JDBC interface. This section
also includes clauses, which are not high-level statements and which you cannot
execute directly but only as part of a high-level statement. The ORDER BY
and WHERE clauses are examples of this kind of clause. Finally, this section
also includes some syntactically complex portions of statements called expressions,
for example
Unless it is explicitly stated otherwise, you can execute or prepare and then execute all the high-level statements, which are all marked with the word statement, via the interfaces provided by JDBC. This manual indicates whether an expression can be executed as a high-level statement.
The sections provide general information about statement use, and descriptions of the specific statements.
