Hi Rajesh Pal,
it is essential for you to have knowledge in C programming and make file management.
you can try the "demo_proc.mk" sample from oracle to make your first Pro*C.
Pro*C is simple, just select the Pro*C option when you install oracle.
If you are not DBA, just type "proc", if there are messages, Pro C is installed. Otherwise you have to check with the DBA or check your environment settings.
then make your own copy of "demo_proc.mk" and try your pro c program.

Pro*C needs to be installed on the Oracle box (where the server is installed) as it links to the Oracle libraries during compilation. This is the safer option. Then, your Pro*C code will have to be writen on the Windows machine.
Alternatively, you can install just the Pro*C component on your Linux machine. That will install the required libraries. That means you will need a Linux version of Oracle. This will also install some other required components that you may not need to use.
Pro*C does come as part of the Oracle CD and you can select to install just that option.
Hope this helps.
