I was presented with the same problem a few months ago and decided to go the OCI route for the following reasons:
- The PRO*C language seemed to be foreign to me and I deduced that using it would require learning a new language.
- OCI function calls seemed very similar to using Sybase Net*Lib calls with which I was already familiar.
- The amount of code for an OCI programmes appeared to be very much the same as would be required to produce the equivalent PRO*C programme, and the precompile step is not required.
