I''d like to know if it''s possible to connect database under glut library through using simple methods. For example, I can connect Access or other database directly only if I create the relative class based on CRecord Class through selecting its ODBC data source. I have finished all functions of my system under MFC lib, but now I have to rebuild and recompile the system based on glut lib because of the particular requirements of the tracking system. Does anybody can give me any idea? Looking forward to getting your reply. Thanks in advance! Field tchen@postech.ac.kr

Glut is a OpenGL helper lib - it makes several OpenGL related tasks easier, this is all it can do.

So you will need a nother lib for this...

Run a search on the MySQL library for windows (if I remember correctly, it''s an open source project so you''ll be able to download the entire package as well). MySQL is probably the most common one around for generic database access either locally or over the internet - after a little testing and debugging I got it working on my BC5.02 (which is quite a bit different from VC) - so I know it works. Just make sure you have the database configured correctly at the other end!
