Re: [Mysqlcppapi-main] Connection Problems?

[Pat D. <cod...@ps...>]

Greets,

Not sure which version you are using but my install has no such
constructor... only:

        // default c'tor
	Connection();

	///The copy will share the underlying connection.
	Connection(const Connection& src);

are available in Connection.h.

Other than that, there are a bunch of little issues in your example
(e.g. "const char dbV" is a constant *single* character where you're
actually looking for a pointer).  Anyhow, here's how I've been doing it
normally:

===============================  snip =============================
#include <mysqlcppapi/Connection.h>
#include <string>
int main() {

        mysqlcppapi::Connection con;

        const std::string dbV("test"),
         hostV("localhost"), userV("root"),
         passwdV("somepassword");

        // set up auth
        con.set_Host(hostV);
        con.set_User(userV);
        con.set_Password(passwdV);

        // actually connect
        con.connect();
        if (! con.is_connected())
        {
                // do something about it...
                return 1;
        }

        // select the db
        con.select_database(dbV);

        // check if it worked, do stuff...


        return 0;
}

===============================  snip =============================


HTH and regards,
