Help with Databases and C++

I'm not sure about c++, but I have done a lot of database access with C# and Access...perhaps looking over this will help

private static OdbcConnection objConnection;
private static string strConnection = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=";

public static DataSet GetDataSet(string strQuery, string strTblName)
//PRE: strQuery is a SQL Query, strTblName is name of a table to create to put the data in
//POST: a DataSet is created and a table named strTblName is created
// containing the results of the SQL query
{
//OdbcConnection objConnection =GetDBConnection();
OdbcDataAdapter odbcAdapter1=GetDBAdapter(strQuery,objConnection);
DataSet Results = new DataSet("Results");
odbcAdapter1.Fill(Results,strTblName);
return Results;
}

private static OdbcDataAdapter GetDBAdapter(string strSQL,OdbcConnection objConnection)
//PRE: An SQL statement and a connection
//POST: returns an adapter which is used to execute the SQL query by GetDataSet
{
return (new OdbcDataAdapter(strSQL,objConnection));
}

private static OdbcConnection GetDBConnection()
//PRE: nothing
//POST: A new OdbcConnection object to the database indicated by the strConnection string.
{
return( new OdbcConnection(strConnection));
}

If the target OS is Windows, you should call the ODBC API (Open Database Connectivity) functions from your C or C++ program.

You should find all the information browsing the Microsoft MSDN online version (http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.aspx).

Good luck!

yep dan is right, and that's what I was doing in my c# example also, so there are probably some strong similarities
