Assistance with Oracle products, Oracle SQL?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We are running an application on OpenVMS AXP Alpha machine which is written
in PL/I language.
The application needs to have an SQL interface with ORACLE 7.3.3. We want to
know whether OCI calls are supported for PL/I language on OpenVMS AXP.
 

The Answer is :

 
  In general, PL/I on your machine can call any entrypoint that uses the
  standard calling interface.  It is unlikely that OCI calls use anything
  other than the standard calling interface.
 
  You should consult Oracle, however, to determine if they supply a set
  of definitions for calling the OCI entrypoints from PL/I, as constructing
  your own based on Oracle definitions for other languages can be tedious
  and error-prone.
