The esql command
To create an executable C program from Informix® ESQL/C source files, use the esql command. The Informix® installation script installs the esql command as part of the Informix® ESQL/C product. This section describes what the esql command can do and how you use it.
The esql command performs the following steps:
- Converts the embedded SQL statements to C language code.
- Converts your ESQL/C source files to C language source files.
- Compiles the files that result with the C compiler to create an object file.
- Creates the resource compiler and links any resource files (.res) that you specify on the esql command line for Windows™.
- Links the object file with the Informix® ESQL/C libraries and your own libraries.
