You should use sql.h, sqltypes.h and sqlext.h for your application.


The isql.h etc files are simple stubs that include the real sql.h file 
with the following comment:

/*
  *  This file is deprecated in favor of sql.h and will be removed
  *  sometime in the future. Please recode your applications to use
  *  the standard names sql.h, sqlext.h and sqltypes.h.
  */

As old applications used to check for isql.h etc, we left them in, but 
they will be removed at some point in time.


Best regards,

Patrick
