Using the MySQL++ library is their any call to 1) Get a list of the databases on the Server 2) List tables in a database given a database name. The best I could find was show databases show tables; or show tables from <database name>; Does anyone have any examples of how to implement these calls in Visual C++ using the MySQL++ API's ANY INPUT APPRECIATED I am using the Visual C++ library for development under MS VC++ 6 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. *********** Just another quick question; I have a line of code (below) but it does not output the query to the screen. In this case the query is "Select * from Employees limit 20" but (below) causes just "Query: " to be displayed. Query query = con.query(); query << "select * from Employees limit 20"; cout << "Query: " << query.preview() << endl; Sorry if you get this for a second time - I didn't get much of a response from the plusplus mailing list. I assure you I have checked the web site and manual Thanks lots David Ayliffe (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
