Re: C++ connection to Oracle

Look at the example (pro*c and oci) programs that get installed with pro*c.
They generally come with make and/or project files which you can build them with.

oci is a lower level interface, but doesn't require the preprocessor. The embedded SQL (pro*c) is *somewhat* portable to other DB systems.
