I've not done any C programs, that connect to Oracle, but I'm planning to get Oracle to my Linux box in about 1-2 months.

I've read, that Pro*C would not work in Linux, so I would like to know, what kind of methods you have in order to get C program to work with Oracle. I mean now C programs, that are coded in Linux. Is there a way to code C progs, that uses Motif and connect to Oracle in the same Linux box, that has Oracle running?

Or do I have to code C programs in OS/2 for example and connect to Oracle by using ethernet link?
