I'd like to be pointed to somewhere (web, book, whatever) where I can learn how to access a database from C++ using SQL (I'm assuming this would be best) such as the tables and queries in an existing Access database. I'd like to do this all via command-line without having to use a GUI of any sort. Any ideas? Back to top Alf P.

AFAIK there's no database interface in the Boost library either. So you'll have to use an interface specific to some database technology, and for that, use Google to find what you're looking for.

However, in answer to your question, you will probably want to use MFC in a console application. With an MFC app, you can use the ClassWizard to connect to the database and automatically generate a wrapper class around your table(s). Once you get the hang of it, it is a piece of cake, and simple to manage through the ClassWizard. Refer to the online documentation for CRecordset and associated classes for details. Good luck.

Any ideas? http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbconnect/ or www.wxwindows.org I checked out the dbconnect site, and it's not quite what I was looking for... and since I DON'T want to use a GUI, I'm not sure why you sent me to wxwindows, though maybe I missed something there. Anyhoo... I found another group which seems to be oriented towards my original question a little better: "microsoft.public.vc.database" Thanks to all who replied.

I'm not sure why you sent me to wxwindows, Because of wxDB. My apologies. I went to the site initially and couldn't find a reference to databases anywhere. I finally just googled within the site for 'DB' and got a few entries, mostly API documentation buried in the site. Looks like a good system, but for now I'm just going with MFC since I'm targeting a MS Jet database anyhow. I bookmarked the wxwidgets page though, for future reference and use. :) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
