Re: Question: Can I embed SQL in C++

} } I would like to know if anybody has any experience/success writing } embedded SQL statements inside a C++ program. We have done a project using C++ (gcc 2.2.2.) und ESQL/C. Both work together fine, you should only expect occasional warnings that you can ignore. } } We have an Informix database and a ESQL pre-processor meant } for C. According to the local agent from Informix, the SQL } pre-processor works only on C files, not C++ files. } We intend to use GCC as our C++ compiler, but we do not know } how to make the pre-processor work with GCC. } } Is there any way to work around the abovementioned problem? } Instead of calling the esqlc-Script we used the preprocessor directly. Here is an excerpt from our makefile: .SUFFIXES: .SUFFIXES: .ec .o .cc .h .ec.cc: /usr/informix/lib/esqlc -icheck -t unix $*.ec; mv $*.c $*.cc .cc.o: gcc $(EXTRA_DEFINES) $(CC_OPTIONS) $(INCLUDEFILES) -c $*.cc The .ec.cc rule makes a .cc-File from a .ec-File using the ESQL/C-preprocessor. The .cc.o rule than produces the object file. test.o: test.cc test.cc: test.ec The above line is necessary, because test.cc may not exist initially und make is unable to chain two rules together. test: test.o gcc -o test test.o /usr/informix/lib/libsql.a For the linking pass the sql-Library must be included. I hope this works for you too. -- Peter Hofmann e-mail: peterh@prz.tu-berlin.de Technical University Berlin Einsteinufer 17 Tel. ++49-(0)30-314-21292 W-1000 Berlin 10 -22612
