Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Need some Pro*C advice (want to ditch SQL Loader)
Hello,
I posted an article about importing graphics files using SQL Loader last week, but I did not get much response. Because of this, I have concluded not many individuals are using SQL Loader for much beyond text uploads. I am already writing utilities (in C) to process multiple text files and generate compact text files for SQL Loader, so now I am asking myself why I am even using SQL Loader if I could be using pro*c. This seems to be even more effective when it comes to loading my tiff image files (since SQL loader is just giving me headaches). I am an intermediate C programmer (with no C++) so will I be able to use pro*c, also what is pro*c? Is this a library that I can add on to gcc or is it a completly seperate compiler ( I am running HP-UX).
Thanks,
-Bob
