SimpleDB API
__BEGIN_VERSION
1.5
__END_VERSION
1. Introduction
The SimpleDB API is a C++ API designed to encapsulate
the ODBC API functionality in an object oriented manner.
The API was created due to an absence of any other such
API that was database independent. The database
independence is achieved using the ODBC (Open DataBase
Connectivity) API.
The API provides a Database object that can be used to
create instances of Query objects. The Query objects
are used to query a database and allow columns to be
bound for the query.
The flowing column objects are currently available (as
of Jan 2005): a boolean column, a long column and a
string column. The string column makes use of the
libstdc++ string class so you don't have to mess around
with malloc.
The Database object also has some convenience member
functions that allow queries that return a single
integer or string to be executed without having to
create a query object or bind columns.
The API has been tested to work with both MySql and
PostGreSQL on a Debian Linux platform.
