It is a big issue for us, since our sysadmin won't install C compiler on a production server (by the way IBM c compiler is not free, you don't want install it everywhere)

Oracle Pro*C can be compiled on a DEV box and move to PROD, you only need libraries (dynamically linked) or nothing extra (static linked)
