[Shivakumar_3]

hello everybody,
I am very new to pro*c programming.Can anyone give some suggestions(like where to post the queries) and some good documents if any.Is it possible to do socket communication using pro*c?(i dont know anything about pro*c).How can we connect to oracle10g database using pro*c?.Please help me out.Thanks in advance.

Hi

the link for the Pro*C documentation is indicated in this thread
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=962858

Pro*C is a pre-compiler, therefore you should be able to access to all C libraries.

Saying that I had the issue for an application where Oracle libraries where incompatible with some other libraries (dce rpc ?)

hi,

have a look at great document at:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a97269/pc_0
7pls.htm

However, note that with Oracle9i, with external tables, merge, pipelined functions -- it is very very hard to find a reason to use C.

hope this helps!

And if you have perl + DBI + DBD::Oracle, why not use that.
perl is much easier in socket programming than pro*c
