| | IMAGE/SQL Intrinsics |
 | | In most contexts, the intrinsic name is caseless, but in some situations you must specify the actual case, which is upper case. |
 | | Unlike many of the system intrinsics, none of the parameters to the IMAGE/SQL intrinsics are optional, and all must be passed "by reference," never "by value." This means that you have to declare a variable named mode-1 and initialize it with the value 1, so that you can pass it to IMAGE/SQL. |
 | | The DBINFO intrinsic has been extended with new modes which allow you to find out whether TPI exists and is enabled, which type is enabled, what version, etc. TPI allows other software, such as our Suprtool product, to take advantage of TPI in a vendor-independent manner, if it is present on the machine. |
