I think you meant SQL embedded in "C".

As far as I know, you can still stick EXEC SQL statements in MS C++. The problems you will have is the OO to Relational mapping. There are a few new OO products out there which take an OO design and store objects as a set of relations. The biggest problem with this is overhead and performance. There are many othere experimental systems out there which are dealing with these issues. There are hundreds of details here . . . If you'd like more info, e-mail me. In the meantime, check out DBMS magazine, October of 1992 issue on OODBMS.
