Обсуждение: ECPG: include sqlca
Hi, I just got a bug report that originated in the programmer not knowing he had to include sqlca to use whenever. When I told him he asked me why it isn't included automatically. Now that's a tricky question. :-) I do know that Oracle also asks the programmer to include sqlca, but how about other DBs? Infromix? Sybase? DB2? Does anyone know that?

Informix includes #include <sqlhdr.h> #include <sqliapi.h> automatically. sqlhdr.h then includes sqlca, sqlda, locator.h and most of the other headers. Andreas

Also, we are allowed to be better than other databases. I recommend auto-include, perhaps with a message to the user. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026
