Why does Pro*C suck so bad?????

Hello Fellow Oracle Victims and Co-dependents!

I just wanted to share a little PRO*C nightmare with you all. I have recently purchased Oracle 7.1.4 and Pro*c 2.0.4.0 for My Hp 9000/725-100 running Hp-ux 9.05.

To my dismay after installing Pro*C and compiling the sample programs I discovered the following:

sample1

bus error
core dump

I inserted some printf's and discovered that the sample program crashes and burns on the CONNECT statement!

After several calls on the resulting TAR I am told that Pro*C has only been tested using CC version 9.34 (and on only an HP 9000/800).

The current version of the CC compiler is 9.7!

I am now desperate to get hold of HP C Compiler 9.34. User support had the audacity to tell me that I should get HP to FIX THE PROBLEM (which is clearly with the Oracle product) HA!

Am I the only one who is discovering that Oracle products are SHIT! Should I have specified SYBASE for this project?

Please Share your thoughts.

Thanks
