What Are Oracle Precompilers? |
|
Answer» A precompiler is a tool that allows programmers to embed SQL statements in high-level SOURCE programs like C, C++, COBOL, ETC. The precompiler accepts the source program as input, translates the embedded SQL statements into standard Oracle runtime library calls, and generates a modified source program that one can COMPILE, link, and execute in the USUAL way. Examples are the Pro*C Precompiler for C, Pro*Cobol for Cobol, SQLJ for Java etc. A precompiler is a tool that allows programmers to embed SQL statements in high-level source programs like C, C++, COBOL, etc. The precompiler accepts the source program as input, translates the embedded SQL statements into standard Oracle runtime library calls, and generates a modified source program that one can compile, link, and execute in the usual way.
