ODBC is a well established technology in terms of sending SQL to database and get the data back. The advantage is obvious, standardization, platform independence. Mon, 24 Mar 2008 11:11:36 GMTemilwuhttp://www.teradata.com/teradataforum/Topic10811-1-1.aspxI have a requirement to provide a way for C and Fortran applications to query and to load data into Teradata. This should work on Windows, Unix and Linux.I have heard of 'Teradata Preprocessor2 for Embedded SQL' that seems to require a C library from Teradata and can be used to execute embedded SQLs in several languages including C.Has anyone used this? If so, where can i find this C library?How easy is this to use? Does this have any advantages over using ODBC connection in a C program? Is this more platform-independent than using ODBC?Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:25:54 GMTradshri
