Pro*C Insights

What is Pro*C?

Pro*C/C++ is a precompiler from Oracle that allows you to embed SQL statements directly within C or C++ source code. The precompiler translates these embedded SQL statements into standard Oracle runtime library calls. This allows developers to create database applications using the procedural capabilities of C/C++ along with the data access features of SQL. It is commonly used for building high-performance database applications where direct control over memory management and tight integration with the operating system are required.
