Hi everybody,

Where can I found a C source code for conecting to Oracle database ?

My gaol is to write a little program which extract some tables and
convert them to CSV file.
This program will run on Linux (Oracle instantclient 10.2 and SQL*Plus
is installed on this machine)

Thank you in advance for your help

Elekaj.

You should find some simple examples at otn.oracle.com. You should also
find some simple examples where you install the regular client. (developer's
choices) You can use the instant client, but the instant client isn't going
to have the C examples, C header files, the lib files etc. But you can
write the code compile it and put the result on another machine that only
has an instant client.

To the OP:

Jim's advice sounds good.

If you still need help, you might be interested in a SQL*PLUS script that
unloads any given table or view
into a CSV file. Many people wrote such scripts. I'm one of them. I no
longer offer it on the web, but if you contact me, I could send you a copy.

My script used to be useful, back in Oracle version 7 times. I thought
later versions of Oracle had this functionality built in. Perhaps not.
