I need to perform queries on Oracle database from C/C++ program on
Solaris. I have very extensive experience with C/C++ and MS Windows OS
but close to none with Solaris or Oracle. Our database adminstrator
told me that we do not have any documentation, he does not know if we
have any C libraries for accessing Oracle database. The only
information he provided me with is that we have Oracle version 9.2.0.7
(Oracle 9i) and Solaris 10. Any help with where to get Oracle C
libraries (header and lib files) and any sample source code how to
acess it would be greatly appreciated. If this is not the best
newsgroup to post such quiestion I would also like to know which one I
should post to.

http://tahiti.oracle.com - contain the Oracle online Doc. set.
Check out the Delevopers Guide.

In Oracle term you need to use the Oracle Callable Interface (OCI).

Also http://asktom.oracle.com has many fine coding examples.

OCI Libraries are installed with a client install. You can also install
and use Instant Client, which works without an Oracle Home.

The OCI documentation is here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs...b10779/toc.htm

You can find a few sample programs here:

If you are writing a C++ application, use OCCI which is the C++ interface.

You have links to sample code, discussion forums and documentation from
the above site.
On Solaris, it is supported with SUN Workshop compiler.

You can download Instant Client which is a light weight installation:

What about Pro*C? The precompiler is also usable with C++ I think.
