I have a question about how to write a function in C that accesses tables
of an Oracle database.

I figured out that it would be done in ProC. I have tried the examples that
come with Oracle and the program I have written works.

The problem that I am having is that the program I have written is a complete
program with a main function. I would like to modify it to just have a
function that I can use somewhere else. I did that also, but when I tried to
compile (or precompile) the function separately (in order to get pure C
code), it did not work. I am not sure if the problem is the make file that I
am using. I have used a make file that is a modified version of the
samples.

When I compile, the error that I get is "main missing" or something
similar.

I have not found anything in the manuals about the libraries that should be
included. I wonder if that is the problem I am having.

Could anyone give me some guidelines on this? I would really appreciate
your help.

Please, respond by email to: ana@cs.ualberta.ca
