In general, Embedded SQL means placing SQL statements directly into your C (or Cobol, Fortran, etc.) programs, and having the ability to pass variables between the program and the SQL statements.
In order to do this, say with C, you need to have the Pro*C precompiler installed and you must have some Pro*C documentation. The Pro*C precompiler will take your C program with its embedded SQL statements, and turn it into a regular C program with Oracle system calls, which can then be compiled normally.
