Hi CE
I am trying to write a program that should be able to obtain it's data from a MySql database, my problem is that i dont know how to go about it. I also don't understand the tutorials from the official MySql website. I am using Borland 5.0 as my compiler.
Any code, information or useful website would be appreciated.

Sorry for not first searching. The link helped a little, what i really want to know is specific to mysql and C++. Also more information on mysql.h would be appreciated mostly wether it works with borland C++ on windows sytems, most of the stuff on the internet seem to imply that it is used on linux sytems.
Also the thread never says how the data in the Database can be used and manipulated in c++.

Hope I am not late with this post 😉

Hmm.... I created an similar database interfaces for mysql with c++ with the code for:
1. GCC-based compiler (i.e the Mingw compiler in the CodeBlocks IDE)
2. Visual C++ (in Visual Studio 2008)
Also used the Boost::Any Class to act as my variant type, alongside some generic programming with templates.

Please reply to let me know particular where you need help and I may send you my header and source files. However, I have not tried on the Borland compiler but I guess it will run.

As a matter of fact, you just have to configure the compiler to link the mysql.dll file to run mysql as an embedded server (if you wish) or you may connect to an instance of mysql connected on the machine. Just tell me, which of the options you would like to implement...
