This can be done by embedding SQL calls directly in your code. This works much the same way as making regular SQL calls except you are tying Oracle fields to variables in your program for the selection or insertion of data. The embedded SQL calls are translated by an Oracle precompiler into a lower level form which can be understood by the compiler. Oracle for Macintosh includes the precompilers and libraries for doing this. Oracle and 4th Dimension are the major database packages on the Mac right now. Oracle is the only one that is SQL-based. 4th Dimension cannot be called externally, but it has it's own internal language, similar to Pascal, for processing.
