In this article we've seen how easy it is to add MySQL support into our C/C++ applications. I've used Visual C++ to demonstrate our examples, however most C++ compilers including Borland's C++ builder and Unix's gcc/g++ compilers will also work fine, requiring only slight modifications to the way header files are included, include paths, etc.
On a little side note, everything we've seen in this article can easily be adapted to make a CGI application -- the only fundamental difference would be in the way that you accept user input. All of the code (with the exception the input and the system() function) will work in a CGI application without any changes.
Finally, here's a short list of additional MySQL++ functions that you might find useful in your MySQL++ coding adventures:
For a complete listing of all MySQL++ functions, take a look at the documentation that accompanies the MySQL++ download.
