However, it assumes that you use the C-subset of C++ in the code which actually interacts with the database. Your variable declarations in EXEC SQL BEGIN/END DECLARE SECTION need to be recognizable by the ESQL/C compiler which has but rudimentary knowledge of C types, let alone C++ types. I don't think that what you're asking for will work -- not directly, anyway. You might manage to wrap a class with constructor around a structure without constructor, but the ESQL/C code would need to see the structure (or a pointer to it) and not the class.
