Hello,
I'm trying to learn how to use Pro*C so, i try to apply the sample in this page:
I changed the USERNAME and PASSWORD in the code according to my system. I created the executable file successfully. when I run it, it asks me the Employee number, and when I enter it I get this error:
ORACLE error--
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
I have EMP table in the system, when I run SELECT * FROM EMP in TOAD, I get the results. so , what can be the problem?
thanks in advance.
here's my code, if it helps:
/*sample1.pc
*
* Prompts the user for an employee number,
* then queries the emp table for the employee's
* name, salary and commission. Uses indicator
* variables (in an indicator struct) to determine
* if the commission is NULL.
*

Are you using the same user to connect?
Does SYSADM have an EMP table?

Yes, I connect to the Oracle using TOAD with the same username and password and when I run the query it executes successfully.

Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste the whole session including the connection.
Copy and paste the execution of your program as well.
But before read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
