use the oracle precompiler or the oracle call interface (OCI)

refer to

http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db10g/portal.portal_demo3?selected=3#index-PRO

or

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10779/toc.htm

(assuming 10g -- otherwise goto to tahiti.oracle.c om and look up these books
for the oracle version that you are using.)

++ mcs

thanks,
but I could not find oci.h in my linux os.
the example give in b10779.pdf requires oci.h. I could not manage to
compile
the examples provided in the pdf document.
