Abstract
Systems and methods that enable a source code file containing in-line database access statements to be compiled into object code for an application without the use of a pre-compiler are disclosed. In one aspect of the system, the source code contains delimiters that enclose an attribute section comprising in-line database access statements. The compiler of the system communicates the attribute section to an attribute provider, which translates the attribute section into statements that can be processed by the compiler. A further aspect of the system is that the attribute provider is a software component. The software component can be a COM (Component Object Model) component. A still further aspect of the system is that the attribute provider can communicate with a database management system in order to assist in validating the attributes against the tables and columns of the database.
