Retrieving data from a MySQL database

Bryan Powell

Is it possible to grab data from a MySQL database and print it on the screen
with VC++? The database is on a linux server if that would make any
difference.

In broad sense, grabbing data from MySQL is not much different than grabbing
data from another RDBMS. I found some client libraries on MySQL site which
take care of communication between VC++ and the remore mySQL database. Check
the developer tools at the MySQL web site for more information.

I do remember that they had a C API which allowed to to directly access the
MySQL DB server and do what you wanted. Also vagueley remember a C++ wrapper
they provided for the C API. Alternatively they also provided something
called MyODBC which was a set of ODBC drivers for MySQL. The easiest way to
make sure if all this still exists, would be to check out their web site

Grab MyODBC from their website and just use the standard
CDatabase/CRecordset classes would be the easiest.
