The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is described in Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide and Oracle C++ Call Interface Programmer's Guide.

You can use the OCI to build third-generation language (3GL) applications that access the Oracle Database.

The Oracle Database Security Guide discusses security features of the database that application developers and database administrators need to be aware of.

Oracle also provides the Pro* series of precompilers, which allow you to embed SQL and PL/SQL in your application programs. If you write 3GL application programs in C, C++, COBOL, or FORTRAN that incorporate embedded SQL, then refer to the corresponding precompiler manual. For example, if you program in C or C++, then refer to the Pro*C/C++ Programmer's Guide.

Oracle Developer/2000 is a cooperative development environment that provides several tools including a form builder, reporting tools, and a debugging environment for PL/SQL. Refer to the appropriate Oracle Developer/2000 documentation if you use this product.

Oracle Database error message documentation is available only in HTML. If you have access only to the Oracle Documentation CD, you can browse the error messages by range. After you find the specific range, use your browser's "find in page" feature to locate the specific message. When connected to the Internet, you can search for a specific error message using the error message search feature of the Oracle Database online documentation.

Many of the examples in this book use the sample schemas of the seed database, which is installed by default when you install Oracle. Refer to Oracle Database Sample Schemas for information on how these schemas were created and how you can use them yourself.
