Compiling and linking a program v16

Suggest edits

The EDB Open Client Library allows applications written using the Oracle Call Interface API to connect to and access an EDB database with minimal changes to the C source code. The EDB Open Client Library files are named:

  • On Linux: libedboci.so

  • On Windows: edboci.dll

The files are installed in the oci/lib subdirectory.

Compiling and linking a sample program

This example compiles and links the sample program edb_demo.c in a Linux environment. The edb_demo.c file is located in the oci/samples subdirectory.

  1. Set ORACLE_HOME to the complete pathname of the Oracle home directory, for example:

    export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server

  2. Set EDB_HOME to the complete pathname of the home directory, for example:

    export EDB_HOME=/usr/edb

  3. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the complete path of libpthread.so. By default, libpthread.so is located in /lib64.

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  4. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the EDB Postgres Advanced Server Open Client library. By default, libedboci.so is located in $EDB_HOME/oci/lib.

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$EDB_HOME/oci:$EDB_HOME/oci/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  5. Compile and link the OCL API program:

    cd $EDB_HOME/oci/samples
make
