:: Thread moved to the Windows Forum ::
There's the old SQL API, the old DAO objects that are part of MFC, the rather big and complex OLEDB API, or there's ADO (wrapper around OLEDB).
Info on each at msdn.....you could donwload the MDAC SDK which has info on all the above. I would also invest in a book.
Here might help you.
hm.......why was it moved here?
i wanted to know how it could be done in C programming, hehe...
>>> hm.......why was it moved here?
Because it is Windows specific, not C specific.
The people who read this board tend to be more knowledable about Windows issues, and may not read the general programming boards. Similaly, people who answer questions on the C and C++ boards, may be very good with C but not use Windows.
i see...
but can someone point to me how i could connect to a database in the C language then?
Connect to access with just standard C? - No...you need some sort of API like the ones I mentioned earlier.
