I'm just in the beginning stages of C++ tag development.... my main hurdle
to jump right now is connecting to database with C++.
Here's what I've learned so far - maybe you can give me a little guidance?
These are my initial thoughts:
It is best to program the app to interact with a driver manager API instead
of a specific driver (this prevents you from writing a app that is specific
to one DB).
The two main free driver managers available on Linux are unixODBC++
(unixodbc.org) and iODBC (iodbc.org). However, using one of these managers
still requires a driver that is specific the database you want to work with.
Drivers for MS SQL 7 are available from Easysoft (easysoft.com), and Open
Link Software (openlinksw.com). Prices for these drivers start from
$800-1700. Do I need to purchase one of these drivers?? Or can the Merant MS
SQL Driver that ships with ColdFusion 4.5 Professional be used from outside
ColdFusion itself.
