Anyone know of a good ODBC Database Class?

[Randy Yates]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for something that is completely independent of the MSVC++
Dev Studio environment, something that will compile and run under
win32 using the mingw distribution. A class that allows schema
definitions to be made and recordsets to be queried and updated would
be wonderful. It doesn't have to include the kitchen sink!
Simplificity and functionality are the prime desires.

These things are better discussed in a database programming newsgroup.
I am not trying to chase you away, I just think that there you will
find more information and higher quality of it.

Victor,

I find myself strangely torn between wanting to agree with you
and argue with you. What if I had asked (as previously) for
a good date/time class? Would you want me to go to a "date/time
programming newsgroup"??? What if I went to a database
newsgroup and asked the same question and they said, "These
things are better discussed in a programming group."??? There
is some limit somewhere on the atomicity of topicality.

In any case, got any suggestions on which group?

Don't be ridiculous. Date/time functionality is built into the
standard library. While there _might_ be a better place for it,
discussing getting date/time and/or wrapping it into a class is
absolutely topical here.
What if I went to a database
newsgroup and asked the same question
Did you? If you did, what did they say? If you didn't, there is
NOTHING to talk about.
and they said, "These
things are better discussed in a programming group."???
What if I had a million dollars? Would I be hanging out here
with you? What if Bin Laden died when he was 6 years old?
Stop playing a fool (unless you're not playing already). I said
"database _programming_ newsgroup". If they, in a database
_programming_ newsgroup suggest going to a _programming_ newsgroup,
you go to comp.programming. Or to Google.

And you know what? I dare you to find a database programming NG
that would refuse to discuss a "good ODBC Database class".

"Atomicity of topicality"? What does that mean? ODBC is NOT
topical here because C++ language Standard makes _no_mention_ of
it *whatsoever*. Atomicity or not.

In any case, got any suggestions on which group?

Nope. I don't do databases, so I don't know of any. Try looking
for 'odbc' in the name, maybe. There is, like, a ton of forums
with "comp.databases" in the name. Why not there?

Hi Folks,

OTL & DTL are two different C++ libraries that I have found very useful.
One is stream based the other is geared like the STL in concepts of
containers, adapters, and algorithms. Since this is Off-Topic for this
group you can google for more - there are hundreds out there.

Actually, no. A moron, yes, IIRC. An asshole, yes,
probably. Some hard to translate Russian epithets, yes,
definitely. A jerk, no.
