Why Use the Oracle Pro*C/C++ Precompiler?
The Oracle Pro*C/C++ Precompiler lets you use the power and flexibility of SQL in your application programs. A convenient, easy to use interface lets your application access Oracle directly. Unlike many application development tools, the Pro*C/C++ Precompiler lets you create highly customized applications. For example, you can create user interfaces that incorporate the latest windowing and mouse technology. You can also create applications that run in the background without the need for user interaction. Furthermore, Pro*C/C++ helps you fine-tune your applications. It allows close monitoring of resource use, SQL statement execution, and various runtime indicators. With this information, you can tweak program parameters for maximum performance. Although precompiling adds a step to the application development process, it saves time because the precompiler, not you, translates each embedded SQL statement into several calls to the Oracle runtime library (SQLLIB).
