One of the best and worst things about C++ is its ability to use C code (almost) transparently. Best because it allows you to use things like SQLite seamlessly in your C++ code. Worst because it allows some programming idioms that are in opposition to good object oriented design. But let's concentrate on the up-side.
There are C++ wrappers to SQLite out there if you care to look for them, but depending upon the complexity of your application you may find you don't need them. It is easy to contain a SQLite connection inside a class object, easy to compose your queries in a std::string (or a CString depending on your environment and preferences) and fairly easy to get your query results into a container class. While I would never dream of starting from scratch on anything of the size and complexity of SQLite without C++, the STL, and probably Boost, I also would never advocate fixing something that ain't broke. As an applications programmer you can get all the advantages of C++ without any changes to SQLite as written. Just my $0.02 worth.

I just think about a minimal subset of C++ that will not make any performance penalty (like C with classes) is it a performance issue? is it a deployment/compiler issue? or any issue? Please don't make any aggressive reply, I am a very nice guy :-) Cheers, Sylvain _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
