Can anyone help me with how to work on Eclipse C++ IDE? I need a clear set of instructions on how to connect server and database as well as how to compile and run standalone codes?

Jump to PostSounds like you need a course in c++, not Eclipse. Eclipse is just an IDE -- a programmer's tool, much like a hammer is to a carpenter. You don't learn how to build a house by asking how to use a hammer.

Ancient Dragon is right, but let me offer a few tips on how to hold the hammer.
- Make sure Eclipse and the C Development Tools are installed.
- Make sure you have a C++ compiler that will work with them. On Windows, I recommend MinGW w/MSYS.
- Make sure Eclipse can find your compiler.
- Make sure you have the libraries for what you're trying to do.
- Make sure they get linked in when you compile.
Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->(Your Compiler) Linker->Libraries
And you're good to go.
