Embedded SQL for C and SQL Server
Running the nsqlprep Precompiler
You must run the appropriate nsqlprep precompiler to prepare your Embedded SQL for C (ESQL/C) program for compiling with a C compiler.
| Operating system | Precompiler |
|---|---|
| Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 (Intel® platform) | Nsqlprep.exe |
| Microsoft Windows® 95 or Windows 98 | Nsqlprep.exe |
| 16-bit Windows | Sqlprep.exe |
| Microsoft MS-DOS® | Sqlprep.exe |
The nsqlprep precompiler finds SQL statements, parses the SQL statements, and if applicable, creates an access plan or bind file. The precompiler creates a C program that can be compiled with an appropriate C compiler. For more information about compiling and linking, see Compiling and Linking Embedded SQL Applications.
