It's a pointer but it's conforming to some god-awful programming
practise we have in house. For example in table_strs.h there is:

/* Description of table geo_contractor from database */
typedef struct GeoContractorTabStr_
{
char project_id[9];
char contractor[53];
} GeoContractorTabStr, *GeoContractorTabPtr;

and in table_strs_embedded.h

/* Description of table geo_contractor from database */
EXEC SQL TYPE GeoContractorTabStr IS STRUCT {
char project_id[9];
char contractor[53];
};
EXEC SQL TYPE GeoContractorTabPtr IS GeoContractorTabStr REFERENCE;

both are included in the C file.

Thanks, Lee Kindness.
