1. Introduction to Pro*C
What is Pro*C?
It converts embedded SQL into standard C code that interacts with Oracle.
---
2. Setting Up Pro*C
Installation Requirements
2. Precompile using:
./sample
---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sqlca.h>
char username[20];
char password[20];
int main() {
/* Connect to Oracle */
if (SQLCODE != 0) {
/* Disconnect */
return 0;
---
SELECT Example
char emp_name[50];
int emp_id;
INSERT Example
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO employees (emp_id, emp_name) VALUES
(:emp_id, :emp_name);
UPDATE Example
DELETE Example
---
if (SQLCODE != 0) {
}
---
6. Advanced Concepts
while (1) {
---
7. Debugging and Performance Optimization
---
Would you like a complete hands-on project to practice? Let me know your
preference!
char emp_name[50];
int emp_id;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
char emp_name[50];
short emp_name_ind;
if (emp_name_ind == -1) {
---
int num_records = 3;
int emp_ids[5];
char emp_names[5][50];
int fetched_count;
}
---
Dynamic SQL allows execution of SQL statements that are not known at
compile time.
char emp_name[50];
---
LOBs (BLOBs, CLOBs) are used for handling large data like images, PDFs, and
documents.
Reading a CLOB
char clob_data[4000];
int clob_length;
EXEC SQL SELECT resume INTO :clob_data FROM employees WHERE emp_id
= :emp_id;
Writing a CLOB
---
Example:
---
---
Let me know, and I can guide you step-by-step in building a real-world Pro*C
project!
int emp_id;
EXEC SQL SELECT emp_id INTO :emp_id FROM employees WHERE ROWNUM
= 1;
/* Disconnect */
---
Dynamic SQL allows building and executing queries at runtime, useful when
query structure is unknown at compile time.
char emp_name[50];
---
19. Advanced Error Handling - SQLCA vs SQLCODE
#include <sqlca.h>
if (sqlca.sqlcode != 0) {
---
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sqlca.h>
void* thread_func(void* arg) {
int main() {
pthread_join(tid1, NULL);
pthread_join(tid2, NULL);
return 0;
---
EXEC SQL SELECT salary INTO :salary FROM employees WHERE emp_id
= :emp_id;
---
---
Updates salaries
emp_name VARCHAR2(50),
department_id NUMBER,
salary NUMBER
);
---
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sqlca.h>
int emp_id;
char emp_name[50];
int department_id;
float salary;
void insert_employee() {
if (SQLCODE == 0) {
} else {
void fetch_employees() {
while (1) {
}
int main() {
int choice;
while (1) {
scanf("%d", &choice);
switch (choice) {
---
LOBs (CLOBs, BLOBs, NCLOBs) are used for storing large data like images,
PDFs, and logs.
char clob_data[4000];
EXEC SQL SELECT resume INTO :clob_data FROM employees WHERE emp_id
= :emp_id;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(:resume, :file);
END;
END-EXEC;
---
Pro*C can read and write to external files for batch processing, logging, and
ETL operations.
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *file;
char emp_name[50];
int emp_id;
while (1) {
fclose(file);
}
fclose(file);
---
For handling large datasets, Pro*C can process records in parallel threads.
#include <pthread.h>
while (1) {
int main() {
pthread_t t1, t2;
pthread_join(t1, NULL);
pthread_join(t2, NULL);
return 0;
---
if (sqlca.sqlcode != 0) {
gdb ./program
---
free(emp_name);
---
if (SQLCODE == 1403) {
if (SQLCODE == -1) {
---
salary *= 1.10;
fclose(file);
EXEC SQL FOR :num_records UPDATE employees SET salary = salary * 1.10;
---
Since you're learning Java backend development, integrating Pro*C with Java
is useful.
String line;
System.out.println(line);
For modern applications, Java JDBC can replace some Pro*C functionality.
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid", "user",
"password");
while (rs.next()) {
---
Now, let's go even deeper into Pro*C with dynamic SQL, memory
optimization, multi-threading, real-world projects, and best practices.
---
33. Dynamic SQL in Pro*C (Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE)
char sql_stmt[256];
char emp_name[50];
---
char clob_data[4000];
BEGIN
END;
END-EXEC;
---
---
free(emp_name);
---
#include <pthread.h>
while (1) {
int main() {
pthread_join(t1, NULL);
pthread_join(t2, NULL);
return 0;
---
if (sqlca.sqlcode != 0) {
---
String line;
System.out.println(line);
---

With cloud databases like Oracle Autonomous Database, Pro*C must handle
JSON data.

45. Cloud Integration: Pro*C with Oracle Cloud (ATP)
Modify tnsnames.ora:
ORCL_ATP =
(DESCRIPTION =
Then, in Pro*C:
---
if (sqlca.sqlcode < 0) {
}
B. Retrying Queries on Deadlocks
do {
EXEC SQL UPDATE employees SET salary = salary * 1.10 WHERE emp_id =
:emp_id;
if (sqlca.sqlcode == -60) {
---
A. Using pthread_mutex_lock()
#include <pthread.h>
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
EXEC SQL UPDATE employees SET salary = salary * 1.10 WHERE emp_id =
:emp_id;
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
---
Analyze logs:
gdb ./pro_c_executable
break main
run
print emp_id
---
B. Implementation
salary *= 1.10;
