Can't find any "proc" on any of the 20 Oracle 8i(8.1.7) Solaris CD Distrib... Does anyone know where it resides? Where it can be downloaded, etc...

Thanx

Oops, it's in "client installation" (unlike 9i...)
silly question... sorry.

Hello:
Where did you find it.. ? I download Oracle 8i from oracle.com and it was not there. Please help and let me know where I can find proc compiler. Is it possible to directly compile using ms vc++ 6.0 without pre-compiling using proc.

Thanks,
sn008

Installation : with orainstaller, install "client" whether you have installed server or not.
In the client installation you'll see "Developpement tools" or somthing like, feathuring PRO*C - That's what I happended to do ...

Compiling without PRO*C is still possible but you'll have to cope with OCI8 API which is documented too.

Just note those 2 different approaches :
1- PRO*C is a pre-processor which generates a C source that links with sqllib (this lib is an internal one and calls are most likely undocumented and subject to change). If sqllib calls changes, PRO*C will generate a matching code. Don't ever keep the generated C as a source to upgrade between version.

2- OCI8 (Oracle Call Interface) is a supported API which requires no special pre-processing. Your sources are C (or C++) little bit harder to write but far easier to debug.

- Choice is yours...
