   I wrote this bad before... - i know, that #if .. etc is CPP commands, so
my question is this:

Is correct way: ESQL source -> CPP -> ECPG -> C/C++ compiler?
   I use EGCS, where I found C++ preprocesor? Parse this preprocessor only
#ifdef etc... commands? Doesn't it say error on exec sql statement?

I never tried this, but it will definitely work.

I use ESQL source -> ECPG -> CPP -> C/C++. Works well too, except that you
have to be syntactically correct even if you use #if 0. But then the
commercial products cannot handle CPP commands either to the best of my
knowledge.

It's cpp. Yes, it comes with egcs too.

It shouldn't. But as I said I never tried.
