Hi,
I too had a problem with the size of Pro*C executables under AIX, as I was writting a sever which concurrently serviced hundreds of users. The problem was that I was using Cs 'fork()' command which replicates the running process. That process was over 2.5MB in size, and a hundred of them active simultaniously caused the box to crash.
I contacted ORACLE, and they gave me two pieces of information. The first was in the form of a detailed fax, which I am not about to type in here as it was a few pages long (phone Oracle for a copy). This gave details of how to use some shared libraries for a Pro*C application, and save about fifty percent of the exe' size. This worked, however it was still not enough.
The second piece of information was that Oracle 7.3.2 ships with a full set of shared libraries for Pro*C. This meant that although I still needed a 2.5MB exe', only 28KB of it wasn't shared. Much better.
I have not yeat had a chance to test the second piece of information, but as soon as out DBA manages to install 7.3.2 along side our 7.1.6 production database I'll get on the case.
