Oracle Database 18c XE and Pro*C [message #675919]

Hi,

could we use Pro*C with Oracle Database 18c XE ?

more precisely, I want to compile Pro*C on an AIX server and use Oracle Database 18c XE on a Linux server. Is it possible ?

if not, can I do this compilation if everything is on a linux server (BDD & ProC) ?

If ProC is not available with Oracle Database 18c XE, could I use the ProC of the enterprise version installed on an AIX server ?

thanks

Michel

You have to compile on the same OS than the one you will execute the generated binary.

I don't understand your concern.

Is it possible for an oracle client on AIX to access an Oracle database on Linux? Of course the answer is 'yes'.
Is there a Pro*C precompiler for AIX? Of course the answer is 'yes'.

So why do you think there might be an issue with the configuration you describe?

I want to use precompiler with ORACLE EXPRESS.
I know that's possible with Oracle enterprise, but with ORACLE XE...

Your original post in this thread was 4 days ago.
Please explain why between then & now you have not simply tested against an XE database to see the actual results for yourself.

because until now, I only find information that indicates that oracle 11 XE doesn't support precompiler C.
and I don't find any information about the precompiler with oracle 18XE...

I am unclear what above means.
Show us using COPY & PASTE what happens when you try to compile & run Pro*C code against V11 XE.
I am unclear what problem needs to be solved.

I have no first hand knowledge of Pro*C, but I would believe that you can compile against EE & run against XE with no problem.

I don't know if Pro*C precompiler is in XE delivery but I'm sure it is in Client one.
If it is not in XE then install a client.

Just try "pcc" or "proc" at command line prompt.

Why do you refer to a 11g document for a 18c software?
You can get it from the Client delivery, however it is under the "Oracle Programmer" licensing:

Quote:

Oracle Programmer provides application programmers with a programmatic
interface to any edition of Oracle Database. However, in order to use Oracle
Programmer, you must purchase a separate Oracle Programmer license.
Oracle Programmer includes the following products:
• Embedded SQL-style interfaces: Pro*C/C++, Pro*COBOL, Pro*Fortran,
SQL*Module for Ada, SQLJ
• Utilities to generate host-language bindings from database schemas:
Object Type Translator and JPub
