Can anyone tell me (showing sample code) how to have embedded MS SQL Server SQL queries in a visual studio Win32 console application C++ program (header files, keywords, etc.)? I've set up a C++ project with source file and the standard EXEC SQL notation doesn't work. I did connect to the database through the server explorer window. So far, I've had no luck. I just want a little sample to show my class. Here's the basic code I've tried:
// DB TEST PROGRAM
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
int customer;
double balance;
customer = 10013;
EXEC SQL SELECT CUS_BALANCE INTO :balance
FROM CUSTOMER
WHERE CUS_NUMBER = :Customer;
cout << "Customer " << customer << " has a balance of " << balance;
cin.ignore(); // to hold screen
}
