[aclug-L] Re: Using SQL in a C program

[Steven Saner <ssaner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about MySQL, but with Postgres there is a thing called
ecpg, which does Embedded SQL in C. I've never used it, but it might
be something along the lines of what you want. I don't know if it
would be similar enough to Pro C or not. You can find out about it at
www.postgresql.org
