Here is a sample that inserts and selects a long raw in the database:
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <assert.h>
#define vstrcpy( a, b ) \
(strcpy( a.arr, b ), a.len = strlen( a.arr ), a.arr)
static char * USERID = NULL;
#define SQLCA_INIT
EXEC SQL INCLUDE sqlca;
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
int SQLCODE;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
static void process_parms( argc, argv )
int argc; char * argv[]; { int i; for( i = 1; i < argc; i++ ) { if ( !strncmp( argv[i], "userid=", 7 ) ) USERID = argv[i]+7; else { printf( "usage: %s userid=xxx/xxx\n", argv[0] ); exit(1); } } if ( USERID == NULL ) { printf( "usage: %s userid=xxx/xxx\n", argv[0] ); exit(1); }
}
static void sqlerror_hard()
{
EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE;
printf("\nORACLE error detected:");
printf("\n% .70s \n", sqlca.sqlerrm.sqlerrmc);
EXEC SQL ROLLBACK WORK RELEASE;
exit(1);
}
static void process()
{

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;

}
