Someone knows a good tutorial on using SQL from C++? I have all the data to do that on ASP, but I havent found anything on C++, could someone give me a pointer?

www.mysql.com has an api for c++. click on MySQL++ for information on using it. very useful

The O''Reilly MySQL+mSQL book is a very good introduction and reference to the SQL language, MySQL administration, and the C/C++ APIs.

I don''t really think you need the book (I could be wrong). All the info''s on the web site and the API comes with a good GUI for administrating MySQL

This is of course assuming that you want to connect to a MySQL database. There are a bunch of different ways to connect to various SQL servers. The most common and generic being ODBC. Microsoft has a bunch of alternatives that sit on top of ODBC like ADO. Also, some database companies, such as Oracle, provide proprietary APIs as well.

Is it possible to use MySQL(++) from MSVC? Or is it too much trouble?

Isn''t there another way to talk to ODBC in Windows?
Where do I need to look for these functions, and can you give a few example function names (they produce good search queries).
Is there something like:

  CTable *pTablePersons = odbcQuery("SELECT * FROM tblPersons");  

Is there a Windows API for C(++)? Is it any good? Why not?

This MySQL looks very cool! (but the cout makes it look a little DOSSY)
If you haven''t seen it yet...Check this example out:

There''s only one down side - I cannot find any MSVC support

Yeah it doesn''t work in MSVC i''ve tried it :*( but i don''t need to use the cout statements as these are basically just numbers that the game will convert into graphics and stuff! I prolly didn''t say it right but you get what i mean.
