This chapter describes Pro*C/C++, the Oracle programmatic interface for the C and C++ languages running under the Window NT and Windows 95/98 operating systems. Pro*C/C++ enables you to build Oracle database applications in a Win32 environment. Specific topics discussed are:
The Pro*C/C++ precompiler takes SQL statements embedded in your C and C++ program and converts them to standard C code. When you precompile this code, the result is a C or C++ program that you can compile and use to build applications that access an Oracle database.
To access an Oracle database, you use a high-level query language called Structured Query Language (SQL). Pro*C/C++ is a precompiler that converts SQL statements in EXEC SQL commands into C statements so that the resulting output file can then be compiled by a C/C++ compiler.
Pro*C/C++ allows you to create applications that access your Oracle database whenever rapid development and compatibility with other systems are your priorities.
Pro*C/C++ supports PL/SQL, Oracle's procedural language extension to the SQL language standard for enhancing performance of the Oracle database.
