C++/SQL API Recommendation

[Return 0]

Can anyone recommend an API to connect a C++ App to a SQL Server? I'm not quite sure on how to get the two communicating. I know C++ and SQL... just don't know how to link em. For now I'm just using SQL Server Express.

Thanks,

Wouldn't have Wikipedia been faster?
MySQL is very popular.

If you are using MySQL, MySQL++ works well (I use this, myself).

If you are stuck on SQL Server, you may want to do ODBC, instead.

Google around for C++ wrappers around ODBC or do it directly in C and wrap it with your own classes.
