How to write a shell script to compile multiple embedded sql in C files (.sqc)? - sql

Question

I have written 3 .sqc files i.e. embedded sql in host language C. I need to make a (Unix) shell script to simply compile all 3 sqc files in a row. How can I do that? Right now, I can individually run each .sqc file using a Makefile that basically converts the .sqc file to a c file and then compiles it. Can I make 3 individual Makefiles and run all of them through a shell script? If so, then how? Can I make one Makefile that can compile all 3 .sqc independently and compile them thereafter through a shell script? If so, then how? Any other options?
Here is the Makefile that can only compile a single .sqc file:
NAME=sample
DB2PATH = /sqllib
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-I$(DB2PATH)/include
LIBS=-L$(DB2PATH)/lib -R$(DB2PATH)/lib -ldb2
all: $(NAME)
$(NAME): $(NAME).sqc util.o
db2 connect to sampleDB
db2 prep $(NAME).sqc bindfile
db2 bind $(NAME).bnd
db2 connect reset
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $(NAME).c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(NAME) $(NAME).o util.o $(LIBS)
clean:
rm -f $(NAME) $(NAME).c $(NAME).o $(NAME).bnd
util.o : util.c
$(CC) -c util.c $(CFLAGS)
A possible (Unix) shell script and Makefile example would suffice to help.
Thank you.

Answer 1

This Makefile should do all three in one step, just type "make". Note that you'll have to change the second line to reflect the names of your real .sqc files.
Also note that I'm not familiar with sqc and I haven't tested this, I'm just working from your Makefile.
# THIS IS THE ONLY LINE YOU'LL HAVE TO CHANGE:
NAMES = file1 file2 file3
DB2PATH = /sqllib
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-I$(DB2PATH)/include
LIBS=-L$(DB2PATH)/lib -R$(DB2PATH)/lib -ldb2
all: $(NAMES)
# This will convert .sqc into .c
%.c: %.sqc
db2 connect to sampleDB
db2 prep $< bindfile
db2 bind $*.bnd
db2 connect reset
# This will compile .c into .o, whether it's fileN.c or util.c
%.o: %.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $#
# This will link fileN.o and util.o into fileN
$(NAMES): % : %.o util.o
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $# $^ $(LIBS)
# This is just to assure Make that that isn't really a file called "clean"
.PHONY: clean
clean:
rm -f $(NAMES) $(NAMES:=.c) $(NAMES:=.o) $(NAMES:=.bnd)

DB2PATH = /sqllib
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-I$(DB2PATH)/include
LIBS=-L$(DB2PATH)/lib -R$(DB2PATH)/lib -ldb2
all: $(NAME)
$(NAME): $(NAME).sqc util.o
db2 connect to sampleDB
db2 prep $(NAME).sqc bindfile
db2 bind $(NAME).bnd
db2 connect reset
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $(NAME).c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(NAME) $(NAME).o util.o $(LIBS)
clean:
rm -f $(NAME) $(NAME).c $(NAME).o $(NAME).bnd
util.o : util.c
$(CC) -c util.c $(CFLAGS)
suppose you have three files: file1.sqc file2.sqc file3.sqc, and your makefile is saved as mksqc.mk
Script:
make -f mksqc.mk NAME=file1
make -f mksqc.mk NAME=file2
make -f mksqc.mk NAME=file3
