Actually I meant Embedded SQL in a C++ program using EXEC SQL statements.

Here is what I meant:

znog.cpp contains EXEC SQL statements and sets up a connection

ziffle.cpp contains functions called by znog.cpp and I want to use the
same connection. So I am not setting up 15 gazillion connections for
the same client.
