Maybe, if you stick a line like this:

#line __LINE__ __FILE__

just before and just followiing the embedded SQL statements in your code and run the C preprocessor first, before running the SQL preprocessor (or precompiler?) I said `maybe,' because I don't know if all SQL statements are valid pp-tokens for the C preprocessor ...

I hope this works, otherwise you have to do a lot of string fiddling yourself ...
