MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1 Developer Guide
Source distributions of Connector/C++ include an
examples directory that contains usage examples
that explain how to use the following classes:
Connection
Driver
PreparedStatement
ResultSet
ResultSetMetaData
Statement
The examples cover:
Using the Driver class to connect to
MySQL
Creating tables, inserting rows, fetching rows using (simple) statements
Creating tables, inserting rows, fetching rows using prepared statements
Hints for working around prepared statement limitations
Accessing result set metadata
Several examples in this document are only code snippets, not
complete programs. These snippets provide a brief overview on the
API. For complete programs, check the examples
directory of your Connector/C++ installation Please also read the
README file in that directory. To test the
example code, edit the examples.h file in the
examples directory to add your connection
information, then rebuild the code by issuing a
make command.
The example programs in the examples directory
include:
connect.cpp:
How to create a connection, insert data, and handle exceptions.
connection_meta_schemaobj.cpp:
How to obtain metadata associated with a connection object, such as a list of tables or databases, the MySQL version, or the connector version.
debug_output.cpp:
How to activate and deactivate the Connector/C++ debug protocol.
exceptions.cpp:
A closer look at the exceptions thrown by the connector and how to fetch error information.
prepared_statements.cpp:
How to execute Prepared Statements, including an example showing how to handle SQL statements that cannot be prepared by the MySQL server.
resultset.cpp:
How to use a cursor to fetch data and iterate over a result set.
resultset_meta.cpp:
How to obtain metadata associated with a result set, such as the number of columns and column types.
resultset_types.cpp:
Result sets returned from metadata methods. (This is more a test than an example.)
standalone_example.cpp:
Simple standalone program not integrated into regular CMake builds.
statements.cpp:
How to execute SQL statements without using Prepared Statements.
cpp_trace_analyzer.cpp:
This example shows how to filter the output of the debug trace. Please see the inline comments for further documentation. This script is unsupported.
