Can't find any "proc" on any of the 20 Oracle 8i(8.1.7) Solaris CD Distrib... Does anyone know where it resides? Where it can be downloaded, etc...
Thanx

Hello:
Where did you find it.. ? I download Oracle 8i from oracle.com and it was not there. Please help and let me know where I can find proc compiler. Is it possible to directly compile using ms vc++ 6.0 without pre-compiling using proc.
Thanks,
sn008

Installation : with orainstaller, install "client" whether you have installed server or not.
In the client installation you'll see "Developpement tools" or somthing like, feathuring PRO*C - That's what I happended to do ...
Compiling without PRO*C is still possible but you'll have to cope with OCI8 API which is documented too.
Just note those 2 different approaches :
1- PRO*C is a pre-processor which generates a C source that links with sqllib (this lib is an internal one and calls are most likely undocumented and subject to change). If sqllib calls changes, PRO*C will generate a matching code. Don't ever keep the generated C as a source to upgrade between version.
2- OCI8 (Oracle Call Interface) is a supported API which requires no special pre-processing. Your sources are C (or C++) little bit harder to write but far easier to debug.
- Choice is yours...
