Welcome and thanks for the time in reading this. I have a simple
proggie below. When I try and compile it I get the error above
(subject) the error points to this part of mysql.h - the part
specifically is highlighted in red.
I am compiling it on Win2K SP2 with Borland C++ v4.52
I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work. Can you??
I also get 5 warnings:
WARNING MYSQL.CPP LineNo: Temporary used for parameter 1 in call to
'istream::operator >> (int &)' in function main()
- Well seeing as I have a problem anyway it seems silly not to mention
it!
<extract from mysql.h>
#if defined(NO_CLIENT_LONG_LONG)
typedef unsigned long my_ulonglong;
#elif defined (__WIN__)
typedef unsigned __int64 my_ulonglong;
#else
typedef unsigned long long my_ulonglong;
#endif
<end of extract>
