- I am presently specifying some APIs for an application, designed to run
- on multiple databases.
-
- Many of the APIs involve SQL DMA underneath. I think if I use embedded SQL
- and at generate time, use the vendor specific pre-compilers (ex: ORACLE Pro*C)
- it can be ported across DBMSs easily.
-
- But then there are these many 'middleware' products and many vendors like JYACC,
- GUPTA, OMNIS and others offer 'database independent' layered products.
-
- Which way should I go?
-
- Can I use EMbedded SQL in my C APIs? (right now we use informix to test the
- application). Or do I have to but one of these layered products?
-
- Your comments are welcome.
-
- I shall summarize the comments, for others' benfits.
-
- thank you in advance.
