I'm wondering if anyone paying attention to this board knows how to use a MySQL database on a unix web host with a c++ CGI application?

What are you trying to do? What is the CGI app that you're trying to use?<a href="http://www.omegacash.com/index.asp?ref=110">Make $1.50 P/Min with

anything. right now i'm just trying to make a c++ app that can connect to the SQL Database, send any SQL command, and disconnect. I've done it in NT with ODBC, but now i've got a unix web host running mysql, and i don't know how to connect to the sql server with my program.-KevinComment

We have to have access to the MySQL server proper in order to connect. Better check with your hoster. Have to having a dbase etc on that server to interconnect I believe.
We have a Brit tech that does that real reasonable if you need.

no no, the database is all set up, i have a login and pass and a database name already set up on the sql server. it's all ready to be connected to. i suppose my question is more of a tech question for a c++ programmer or a unix/linux guru. this might not be the appropriate place to post such a question, but it's all i got.

Send me your questions on ICQ and I'll pass it on to our tech. Might take a few days to get an answer, But trust me, he knows his stuff. He's head of ops at a brit ISP. <G> He can connect to our hosts via unix and do stuff that that host would charge us for. lol<center><a target="_blank" href="http://dev.datedollars.com/index.php?s=signup&aid=535&cfg=aac"><img border="0" src="http://216.130.172.224/gfy/gsig.gif" width="490" height="100"></a><br><a href="http://dev.datedollars.com/index.php?s=signup&aid=535&cfg=aac" target="_blank"><b><font face="Arial"><font color="#FF99FF"> Buy me away from Slavedriver Smokey!<br>It's May Sig Sweeps!<font></b></center>Comment

I got some help from <A HREF="http://www.studio51.ca">www.studio51.ca</A>, he set up a database to learn with, and kinda tutored me through writing a program to set it up. But thanks very much for the offer.-KevinComment

Why not use perl and the ready made libraries out there. I use a sql banner tracker written in perl it uses the Arcos sql library for most functions.Stupid SpiceComment

i want to use c++ for speed. perl doesnt even compare, and my program is going to be an extremely busy one. also, my program is doing alot more than just connecting to an SQL server, it also deals with unix networking among other things. C++ is the best choice for the job. That, and I know very little perl
