Call-Level Interface

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
(database, standard)Call-Level Interface - (SQL/CLI) A programming interface designed to support SQL access to databases from shrink-wrapped application programs.

CLI was originally created by a subcommittee of the SQL Access Group (SAG). The SAG/CLI specification was published as the Microsoft Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) specification in 1992. In 1993, SAG submitted the CLI to the ANSI and ISO SQL committees.

SQL/CLI provides an international standard implementation-independent CLI to access SQL databases. Client-server tools can easily access databases through dynamic link libraries. It supports and encourages a rich set of client-server tools.

SQL/CLI is an addendum to 1992 SQL standard (SQL-92). It was completed as ISO standard ISO/IEC 9075-3:1995 Information technology -- Database languages -- SQL -- Part 3: Call-Level Interface (SQL/CLI). The current SQL/CLI effort is adding support for SQL3.

It is based on the Call-Level Interface specifications from X/Open and ISO/IEC for database APIs and uses Structured Query Language (SQL) as its database access language.
Support includes native integration with the IBM call-level interface to the DB2 database, as well as automatic integration with the DB2 bulk loader that makes it possible to achieve high throughput in populating the largest data warehouses.
