Pro C: Getting Started On Unix

Pro*C is a C/C++ precompiler that embeds SQL calls directly into C code, making it more efficient than OCI. It comes bundled with the Oracle client and includes a proc executable. Demo programs are located under $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/demo/proc. To get started, set environment variables like ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, check the C compiler version, relink sample Pro*C programs using the demo_plsql.mk makefile, and run the executable.

Pro*C

Pro*C is a C/ C++ precompiler that lets you embed SQL calls directly into C-code. It is a lot more efficient coding-wise than using OCI. Pro*C - comes bundled with the Oracle client. Used for doing embedded SQL programming using C programs. Installation includes a proc or proc.exe executable under $ORACLE_HOME/bin Demo programs are under $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/demo/proc

[edit]Getting

started on Unix

Start with this simple exercise (if you are running Unix): cd $ORACLE_HOME/demo/ directory, usually you find some Pro*C programs under

$ORACLE_HOME/precomp/demo/proc/ or $ORACLE_HOME/plsql/demo/ directories, the suffix of the Pro*C programs are *.pc. Make sure that the following environment variables are set: LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_HOME PATH

If you are running the following UNIX types the following environment variables need to be set: HP/UX - Set SHLIB_PATH to same value as LD_LIBRARY_PATH. AIX - Set LIBPATH to same value as LD_LIBRARY_PATH. AIX 4.3+ - Set LINK_CNTRL as L_PTHREADS_D7.

Make sure that correct "C" Compiler version is present on your system: You may use "which" and "what" command, say which cc. Or use cc -v

Relink the sample Pro*C programs: There is a sample make file called demo_plsql.mk, which relinks and compiles some of

the sample Pro*C programs You can edit the file demo_plsql.mk to make necessary modifications to the database

username/password (scott/tiger found in demo_plsql.mk) .etc. make -f demo_plsql.mk demos

To Relink and make a single file use, make -f demo_plsql.mk sample1 or make -f

demo_proc.mk build EXE=sample1 OBJS=sample1.o or make -f demo_proc.mk build EXE=sample1 OBJS=sample1.o PROCFLAGS="sqlcheck=semantics userid=username/password Running "make" yields the executable files. A makefile is a description file used by the UNIX

'make' utility. The makefile includes dependencies and rules for building a target executable. Such rules can be precompiling commands, compiling commands, linking commands, or commands for removing temporary files. The ultimate goal of the make utility is to build the final executable program using the rules contained within the makefile. The makefile can have any name. Now run the executable file ./sample1
