Yep - sqlcli does not immediately connect to the database.
After you get the "sqlcli =>" prompt you may press enter and sqlcli will actually perform the connect.
And yes, I find that odd as well.
> But if i run the example program HelloWorld.cpp though SQLDBC which connects to DEMODB and show a simple 'Hello SAP DB' from DUAL table, i don't get any error which makes me assume database DEMODB is actually running.
That's quite weired.
Please check if the xserver is running and perform a
   db_state
in sqlcli.

So welcome aboard!
>In oracle when we use sqlplus username/pasword@ORACLE_SID and that goes through without any error, we know we can give SQL commands to the db. However while using sqlcli and it is not throwing any error at the time of logging in but throwing the error at the time of executing sql commands is confusing me.
As I wrote above the connect is only performed after the first "enter".
Anyhow, sqlcli is not comparable to SQL*Plus. It's just a very simple option to access data. It's not a reporting tool, it's not an administration tool. It's not the all-in-one-can-do-everything SQL*Plus.
But why don't you use the SQL Studio or even better the DB Studio? These tools are much more comfortable to use.
