* EXEC SQL INCLUDE syntax

I'm trying to port some Ingres code to PostgreSQL. For Ingres, I had this bit
of ESQL:
EXEC SQL INCLUDE '../dcl/master_table.sc';
which ecpg (2.10.0) can't digest with single quotes, and Ingres (2.5) esqlc
can't digest without single quotes.
Can anyone tell me what the ESQL standard says, and if there is an easy ecpg
work-around?
Thanks,
Andy

ecpg only accepts double quotes or no quote at all.

I thought that ecpg does implement the standard, but I haven't checked
it lately so I'm not sure.

Other than changing the code, no. It seems we do need an Ingres
compatibility mode, too.

Changing the single quotes to double quotes worked with the Ingres
preprocessor, but not with ecpg:
natasha:~/nwis-4.4/common/db/midas-tools> ls -l master_table.sc
-rw-r--r-- 1 ashalper nwdba 158 Oct 20 13:46 master_table.sc
natasha:~/nwis-4.4/common/db/midas-tools> ecpg drop_table.sc
drop_table.sc:37: ERROR: Cannot open include file "master_table.sc" in line 37
Thanks,
Andy

It seems ecpg parsed the statement correctly but could not find the
file. IIRC double quotes mean to not search all include paths but take
"." instead.

I must be doing something wrong because I can't get ecpg to include anything
with double quotes around it. I guess I'll just put something in the Makefile
to strip the single quotes out of the Ingres includes.
I'll send you the two files off-list and you can experiment with it if you
like.
