How to communicate Unix / C++ with Oracle?
- Thread starter CMyLove
- Start date
Hmm.. you probably want to look into odbc, and there are any number of books, but I don't know a good one. I use Informix, and they have an embedded sql pre-processor, I think Oracle's is called c* or something like that. This is very easy to use, and I'd try that first of all. As for a good book, I don't know but this thread has been here for awhile so I thought I'd put my 2 cents in.
Good Luck!
mWB. As always, I hope that helped!

The easiest way is the use Oaracle's ProC. I have included a file that will attach to an oracle database using ProC.
