Hello DBA Gurus,
Do anybody have any idea how to start using MS VC++ with Pro*C and Personal Oracle 8.1.6 i. I tried to go per Oracle 8i document where at some stage it says about Configuring Header Files at C:\\Precomp\Public but I don't find Public directory nor Proc executable in the Bin directory.
Could anybody help me.
Thanks,
Soum.
Hi,
I don't think Pro*C comes with Oracle Personal edition.
You need to install Pro*C from Oracle Client CD.
Having done this try writing a sample code.
You need to do some settings for pre compiling Pro*C code
Like setting path for Oracle Include files,setting path for the proc.exe precompiler executable from
Tools-->Options-->Directories
In each of ur Pro*C project u need to externally include the library SQORA32.lib and then from Project-->Settings--> Custom Build option, Keeping the Pro*C file selected,and using settings for All Configuration, give Build commands as proc filename.pc and output files as filename.c
After this u can go ahead building the project.
Hi,
If you installed Oracle on your pc, the pro*c exe is located at %ORACLE_HOME%/product/8.1.6/bin/proc.exe and the libraries are is located at
%ORACLE_HOME%/product/8.1.6/precomp/lib.
from MSVC++ you should add a new folder with the .pC extension. put all your pro*C files in it and right click the folder, choose settings and press the Custom Build and in the commands area put
%ORACLE_HOME%/product/8.1.6/bin/proc.exe $(InputName).pC
at the Outputs area put
$(InputName).cpp
compile the pC file and add the generated cpp file to your project.
Right Click your project and click settingsm Click the C/C++ tab and choose Preprocessor. In the Additional include directories add the
%ORACLE_HOME%/product/8.1.6/precomp/include directory
press the Link tab and choose Input. In the Additional Library path add the
%ORACLE_HOME%/product/8.1.6/precomp/lib
add sqllib.lib sqxlib to your Object/library modules.
Compile and Link.
enjoy,

After reading documents at OTN what I concluded is Pro*C is supported only in Entreprise and Standard edition. Further Entreprise and Standard edition can only run on NT or Win 2K among Windows OS platform. Bottom line to what I understood is on W98 Pro*C isn't supported.
*** Is there any other work around other than partioning Hard disk and then ...
Correct me if I am wrong at any place and thanks to those who responded.
Thanks
