how to retain Oracle connection from parent process to child

[jbaskin1]

Is it possible to start one process, for example, a C program, that connects to an Oracle database and then executes (either with system() or fork() and exec()) a child process and have the child process retain (i.e., inherit) the Oracle connection?

store the connection string in a variable and pass this parameter to the child process (char *argv[], int argc), and let the child process access the value.
hope it helps you.
