SQL Server & Embedded SQL

[Karl R. Dalley]

| Due to problems with my ISP's newsfeed, this never made it out
| to the "real" world (i.e., everything beyond eden.com).

I am in the process of moving some C code which contain Embedded
SQL from a Unix/Sybase platform to WinNT/SQL Server. I want to
keep the code for both both platforms in sync, so I was planning
to use Embedded SQL to "talk" with MS SQL Server. However, I've
been mostly unsuccessful in locating a C precompiler.

A search of Microsoft's web site turned up the manual entitled
_Microsoft SQL Server Programming Embedded SQL for C_, but no
information as to how one obtains the "Microsoft Embedded SQL
for C" product.

A search of DejaNews returned a news posting that said it was
available from the same place on MS' web site that MS SQL Server
patches reside. I checked and found info on how to get "the
Microsoft Embedded SQL for C version 6.5 patch". This is a file
named ESQL.EXE on MS' ftp site. I downloaded this, but it only
contained a README and 2 files which seems to imply that it is
only a patch and not the complete code.

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Karl,

I've used the ESQL for our first data migration last June.
Need:
1) Visual C++
2) ESQL. This can be found in one/some of MSDN CDs
e.g. "Windows 95 SDKs and Tools" under the directory
"Esqlc.65".
