Thread: Accessing MYSQL

You can use MySQL++

MySQL++ is a C++ wrapper for MySQL's C API. It is built around STL principles, to make dealing with the database as easy as dealing with an STL container.

One thing you need to learn is that programming isn't just about sitting in front a a screen typing code until it works. A lot of the work is reading and understanding documentation.

On the page provided, scroll down to the "Documentation" section. Follow the link to the online version. Read it.

If you have problems understanding the tutorial section there, post the tutorial, highlight the specific part you have problems with, post your attempts at solving them, your progress and the error message.

You can also use the straight MySQL C API.

If you are on window, you might also want to look up ODBC, DAO or ADO

If you are using Dev-C++ to access MySQL, it might be better for you to get the libmysql DevPak from here:
http://devpaks.org/category.php?category=Database

Dev-C++'s Package Manager will then install the correct DLL import library and header files to your Dev-C++ installation. This DevPak allows you to use the MySQL C API functions in your Dev-C++ program. For details about the MySQL C API, you should download MySQL.
