OTL 4.0, Example 735 (Insert and Select via a PL/SQL function that returns a referenced cursor)

This example demonstrates a simple INSERT, SELECT via a PL/SQL function that returns a reference cursor, and constant SQL statements.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>

#define OTL_ORA8 // Compile OTL 4.0/OCI8
#include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file

otl_connect db; // connect object

void insert()
// insert rows into table
{ 
 otl_stream o(50, // buffer size
              "insert into test_tab values(:f1<int>,:f2<char[31]>)", 
                 // SQL statement
              db // connect object
             );
 char tmp[32];

 for(int i=1;i<=100;++i){
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
#if (_MSC_VER >= 1400) // VC++ 8.0 or higher
  sprintf_s(tmp,sizeof(tmp),"Name%d",i);
#else
