<p> To include an external file into your embedded SQL program, use:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">EXEC SQL INCLUDE <em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em>;</pre>
<p>
The embedded SQL preprocessor will look for a file named
<code class="literal"><em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em>.h</code>,
preprocess it, and include it in the resulting C output. Thus,
embedded SQL statements in the included file are handled correctly.
</p>
<p> Note that this is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> the same as
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">#include <<em class="replaceable"><code>filename</code></em>.h></pre>
<p>
because this file would not be subject to SQL command preprocessing.
Naturally, you can continue to use the C
<code class="literal">#include</code> directive to include other header
files.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p> The include file name is case-sensitive, even though the rest of
the <code class="literal">EXEC SQL INCLUDE</code> command follows the normal
SQL case-sensitivity rules.
