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

["Violette, James" <JViolette@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If you are interested, here is a detailed description of how one person
installed
Oracle 8i on Red Hat 6.1.

They also mention using SQLJ (the embedded Java within Oracle) as a
replacement for C.

Summary
If you've been having trouble installing Oracle8i, be bewildered no longer.
Uche Ogbuji explains why Oracle8i is one of the wildest, wooliest installs
ever, and how to work around its quirks. (3,300 words)

That is right, K-State is not in the 20th Century anymore, John would be
doing this assignment in JAVA.
