To include an external file into your embedded SQL program, use:
EXEC SQL INCLUDE filename;
The embedded SQL preprocessor will look for a file named
filename.h,
preprocess it, and include it in the resulting C output. Thus,
embedded SQL statements in the included file are handled correctly.
Note that this is not the same as
#include <filename.h>
because the file would not be subject to SQL command preprocessing.
Naturally, you can continue to use the C
#include directive to include other header
files.
Note: The include file name is case-sensitive, even though the rest of
the EXEC SQL INCLUDE command follows the normal
SQL case-sensitivity rules.
