      * 
      **  Example of X/Open CAE SQL (1992) compliant embedded program.
      **
      **  The program tries to connect to the DEFAULT database as SYSADM
      **  with  password SYSADM.
      **  It will then declare a cursor for the standard view
      **  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, and fetch all records from it.
