Building Applications for UNIX** Environments


SCO UnixWare 7 C++

The script file bldCC, in sqllib/samples/cpp, contains the commands to build a sample C++ program.

The first parameter, $1, specifies the name of your source file. The second parameter, $2, specifies the name of the database to which you want to connect. The third parameter, $3, specifies the user ID for the database, and $4 specifies the password. Only the first parameter, the source file name, is required. Database name, user ID, and password are optional. If no database name is supplied, the program uses the default sample database.



#! /bin/ksh
# bldCC script file                                
# Builds a sample C++ program.
# Usage: bldCC <prog_name> [ <db_name> [ < userid> <password> ]]
 
# Connect to a database.
if (($# < 2))
then
   db2 connect to sample
elif (($# < 3))
then
   db2 connect to $2
else
   db2 connect to $2 user $3 using $4
fi                  
# Precompile the program.                           
db2 prep $1.sqC bindfile
# Bind the program to the database.                 
db2 bind $1.bnd                                     
# Disconnect from the database.                     
db2 connect reset
 
# Compile the util.c error-checking utility.
CC -Kthread -I/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/include -c util.C
# Compile the program.                      
CC -Kthread -I/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/include -c $1.C
# Link the program.                                 
CC -o $1 $1.o util.o -Kthread -L/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/lib -ldb2


Compile and Link Options for bldCC

The script file contains the following compile options:

CC
The C++ compiler.

-Kthread
Use the compiler's multi-threaded facilities and arrange for the appropriate preprocessor flags to be turned on.

-Ipath
Specify the location of the DB2 include files. For example: -I/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/include

-c
Perform compile only; no link. This book assumes that compile and link are separate steps.

The script file contains the following link options:

CC
Use the compiler to link edit.

-o $1
Specify the name of the object module.

util.o
Include the object file for error checking.

-Kthread
Link the threading library in the correct library order.

-Lpath
Specify the location of the DB2 static and shared libraries at link-time. For example: -L/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/lib. If you do not specify the -L option, /usr/lib:/lib is assumed.

-ldb2
Link with the DB2 library.

Refer to your compiler documentation for additional compiler options.

To build the sample program updat from the source file updat.sqC, enter:

bldCC updat

The result is an executable file updat. You can run the executable file against the sample database by entering:

updat

Building C++ Stored Procedures

The script file, bldCCsrv, in sqllib/samples/cpp, contains the commands to build a C++ stored procedure. The script file compiles the stored procedure into a shared library that can be called by a client application.

The first parameter, $1, specifies the name of your source file. The second parameter, $2, specifies the name of the database to which you want to connect. The third parameter, $3, specifies the user ID for the database, and $4 specifies the password. Only the first parameter, the source file name, is required. Database name, user ID, and password are optional. If no database name is supplied, the program uses the default sample database.

The script file uses the source file name, $1, for the shared library name.



#! /bin/ksh
# bldCCsrv script file                                
# Builds a C++ stored procedure.
# Usage: bldCCsrv <prog_name> [ <db_name> [ < userid> <password> ]]
 
# Connect to a database.
if (($# < 2))
then
   db2 connect to sample
elif (($# < 3))
then
   db2 connect to $2
else
   db2 connect to $2 user $3 using $4
fi                  
# Precompile the program.                           
db2 prep $1.sqC bindfile
# Bind the program to the database.                 
db2 bind $1.bnd                                     
# Disconnect from the database.                     
db2 connect reset
 
# Compile the util.C error-checking utility.
CC -Kthread -I/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/include -c util.C
# Compile the program.
CC -Kthread -I/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/include -c $1.C               
# Link the program and create a shared library          
CC -G -o $1 $1.o -Kthread -L/opt/IBMdb2/V5.0/lib -ldb2
# Copy the shared library to the sqllib/function subdirectory of the DB2 instance. 
# Note: this assumes the user has write permission to this directory.
eval "H=~$DB2INSTANCE"
cp $1 $H/sqllib/function

Refer to your compiler documentation for additional compiler options.

To build the sample program outsrv from the source file outsrv.sqC, enter:

bldCCsrv outsrv

The script file copies the stored procedure to the server in the path sqllib/function to indicate that the stored procedure is fenced. If you want the stored procedure to be unfenced, you must move it to the sqllib/function/unfenced directory. These paths are in the home directory of the DB2 instance.
Note:An unfenced stored procedure or UDF runs in the same address space as the database manager and results in increased performance when compared to a fenced stored procedure or UDF, which runs in an address space isolated from the database manager. With unfenced stored procedures or UDFs there is a danger that user code could accidentally or maliciously damage the database control structures. Therefore, you should only run unfenced stored procedures or UDFs when you need to maximize the performance benefits. Ensure these programs are thoroughly tested before running them as unfenced. Refer to the Embedded SQL Programming Guide for more information about fenced and unfenced stored procedures.

If necessary, set the file mode for the stored procedure so the DB2 instance can run it.

Once you build the stored procedure outsrv, you can build the client application outcli that calls the stored procedure. You can build outcli using the bldCC script file. Refer to "SCO UnixWare 7 C++" for details.

To call the stored procedure, run the sample client application by entering:

outcli remote_database userid password

where

remote_database
Is the name of the database to which you want to connect. The name could be sample, or its remote alias, or some other name.

userid
Is a valid user ID.

password
Is a valid password.

The client application passes a variable to the server program outsrv, which gives it a value and then returns the variable to the client application.
