Question

I want to use connector for mysql data base. I am follow this page

http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-connector-cpp.html

But it seems hard . Is there any other tutorial present. Please let me know.

Answer 1

the relevant part of the example code is pretty simple:

     Driver *driver;
     Connection *con;
     Statement *stmt;
     ResultSet *res;

    driver = get_driver_instance();

    /* create a database connection using the Driver */
    con = driver -> connect(url, user, password);

    /* alternate syntax using auto_ptr to create the db connection */
    //auto_ptr  con (driver -> connect(url, user, password));

    /* turn off the autocommit */
    con -> setAutoCommit(0);

    /* select appropriate database schema */
    con -> setSchema(database);

From there on you just have to query it like so:

     stmt = con -> createStatement();

     res = stmt -> executeQuery ("SELECT * FROM City");
