Hmmm ... maybe. What platform are you using? Does Pro*C support shared libraries on your platform? If so, are you using the Pro*C shared libraries? Is single-task linking supported on your platform? If so, are you linking single-task or two-task with ORACLE? Does the Non-ProC executable implement the same functionality as the ProC executable?
