Initialization statements are SQL statements that are sent to the database before executing an Integration service query. Initialization statements are defined by the database and are usually of the form SET <variable > = <value> or
SET <variable> <value>. Initialization statements force the database to behave in a way that is compatible with Actuate SQL. Initialization statements take effect only for the session in which the query is executed, so they do not affect queries that are not sent by the Integration service. The Integration service does not send initialization statements when executing SQL stored procedures on the database.
