DB-Access (and ISQL and I4GL and D4GL and … anything else that implements LOAD or UNLOAD) implements LOAD and UNLOAD via subroutine library calls. The subroutines are not even the same in each product — ISQL and I4GL share the code, but the others are separate. It is not actually an SQL statement. You cannot use either LOAD or UNLOAD in any ESQL/C program as a simple ESQL/C statement. A close scrutiny of the manual marks it as DB-Access only.
