Okay, I see. All the bad memories are coming back now...

I used the PRO*C pre-processor ten years ago.
What a disaster that approach is. Never again.
The code is a mess and debugging is a nightmare.

You actually need a static database schema to run your code-generating
pre-processor against. You change your database schema and your code 
generator has some obscure syntax error. If your application crashes 
you have to wade through generated code to see WTF is going on. 
In the time it takes to chase down problems you could have written 
a superior application in a traditional language binding/wrapper.

Just my opinion of course.
