Re: [Dev-C++] Access databases

Hi Derick,

I'm glad to help. :-) And, you're right. I'm in the middle of a project
right now so I don't have much time. :-( But I can point you to a URL for
more information. Iczelion's Win32 Assembly Homepage has, IMHO, very good
ODBC tutorials. Although the code is in asm, his explanations on ODBC basic
programming approach, the API functions to call, the relevant function
parameter values, return values and in what order to call those API
functions are _very_ clearly explained.

Compared to MSDN, this is better and more concise. :-)

The five relevant topics covered are:
1. ODBC Basics
2. Connecting to Data Source
3. Preparing and Using Statements
4. Retrieving Results
5. An ODBC Example

The URL is:
http://win32asm.cjb.net/  in the Tutorials section.

For a tutorial in C using Visual C++, here's a URL I found sometime ago.
http://www.cxd3.com/tut/cpp/odbc/odbc.html

Many thanks to opcodevoid for providing this tutorial for free.

The C++ example program I wrote using Dev-C++ is based on his tutorial
example.

Best Regards,
Yeoh
