Pro-C and Pro-Cobol are pre-compilers that generate legal C or Cobol code
from C or Cobol code that contains embedded SQL statements. The pre-compiler
takes the embedded SQL, which is usually in the following form:
...
exeqsql "select * from table_name where ... "
...
and replaces it with a series of legal C or Cobol procedure calls to an
API supplied by Oracle.
The legal code can then be compiled by your favorite C or Cobol compiler.
