I want to connect the access database to the c++ project.
What are the requirements of this?
How to connect that? Give the example.

Jump to PostYes, ODBC is the oldest and most widely used method, but not the fasted. There are a few free ODBC C++ classes out there too that will help simplify the job-- just google for them.
Jump to PostThis thread was about connecting to Access, not MySQL. ODBC allows you to connect to databases with a level of abstraction over the specific database you use, letting you not have to worry about individual APIs.

Hi,
I had the same query, my database connection query was SQL. Jencas replied to my thread, mentioned something about ODBC, look for the thread "Connecting C++ with SQL" by me.

Hi, sorry I misread, took where he said "access" as if he wanted to access the database oops!
