The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to insert value in a TIMESTAMP database field with mysqlpp

Asked by Lou1 in MySQL Server, Microsoft Visual C++

Tags: ,

I have a database table with a timestamp field, like so:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `starstable`.`student_task`;
CREATE TABLE  `starstable`.`student_task` (
  `studentTaskId` int(9) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `taskId` int(9) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `objectId` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `variable1` int(9) unsigned default NULL,
  `variable2` int(9) unsigned default NULL,
  `finished` tinyint(1) default NULL,
  `startTaskDate` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `finishTaskDate` timestamp NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`studentTaskId`,`taskId`,`objectId`),
  KEY `FK_STUDENT_TASK_OBJECTS` USING BTREE (`objectId`),
  KEY `FK_STUDENT_TASK_TASK` USING BTREE (`taskId`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

The problem I am having is with inserting a value in field startTaskDate. I've tried to do it like so:

void DBTaskProvider::saveTask(const ObjectID& objectID, const TaskGameStruct* const playerTask, const ActionType& actionType)
{
    try
        {
             time_t finishDate = playerTask->finishedDate;
             time_t startDate = playerTask->startDate;
           
             querySQL
      << "CALL GDB_INSERT_STUDENT_TASK("
      << playerTask->taskID << ","
      << playerTask->objectID << ","
      << playerTask->varOne << ","
      << playerTask->varTwo << ","
      << playerTask->finished << ", "
      << "'" << mysqlpp::escape << mysqlpp::DateTime(startDate) << "', "
      << "'" << mysqlpp::escape << mysqlpp::Date(finishYear, finishMonth, finishDay) << "')";
                  
      // Execute the insert statement.
      querySQL.use();
}

but I get the following error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall mysqlpp::DateTime::DateTime(__int64)" (??0DateTime@mysqlpp@@QAE@_J@Z) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall Star::DBTaskProvider::saveTask(int const &,class Star::TaskGameStruct const * const,enum

Does anybody know what the problem is? Also, what is a good way to insert a value into a TIMESTAMP field using C++ and mysqlpp?Start Free Trial
