What Does the Pro*C/C++ Precompiler Offer?
As Figure 1 – 2 shows, Pro*C/C++ offers many features and benefits, which help you to develop effective, reliable applications. Figure 1 – 2. Features and Benefits For example, Pro*C/C++ allows you to • write your application in C or C++ • follow the ANSI/ISO standards for embedding SQL statements in a high-level language • take advantage of dynamic SQL, an advanced programming technique that lets your program accept or build any valid SQL statement at runtime • design and develop highly customized applications • write multi-threaded applications • automatically convert between Oracle internal datatypes and high-level language datatypes • improve performance by embedding PL/SQL transaction processing blocks in your application program • specify useful precompiler options inline and on the command line and change their values during precompilation • use datatype equivalencing to control the way Oracle interprets input data and formats output data • separately precompile several program
