Connecting to MySQL Database
Hello,
I have a program (that was created by William Mcleary, I am helping in the creation though) that needs to connect to a MySQL database and I guess I would use a DSN but I only know how to do it in ASP. Does anyone know how to connect to databases in C++ or know where I can find out? Thank You.
Look into OLE DB or ODBC. There are lots of examples for both on MSDN.
go here: www.webmonkey.com
they have some MySql tutorials, but i think they are linux.... dunno if thats good, considering using ASP, i'd assume no
you can use the standard mysql API, which comes with the mysql package. Download the appropriate documentations from www.mysql.org. You can ever use myODBC API, if you wanna make you code more portable....
Thank you all of you but I have gotten the connection already. And by the way, don't use MySQL.org, go to MySQL.com. That is the official MySQL web site. All I had to do to connect was download the library files from mysql.com in a special package called MySQL++. ThaNx all.
