As Sybase puts it, "the DB-Library approach is distinctly
different from the 'embedded SQL' type of host language
interface that some database management systems provide".

Sybase says they feel that the library approach is superior
to the embedded approach.  My problem is I disagree -
I like to have the choice; and the embedded code is for
me in most cases easier to write and maintain.

So the question is, are there any vendors anyone knows
of that offer a preprocessor that
take my C code with its embedded SQL and turn it into
something DB-Library will eat?

I'd really prefer not to have to write it myself.
