How to use DSN less connection ?
Avatar of qetuo08

ASKER

When I compiled, I got these errors :
D:\VC\test\test.c(28) : warning C4013: 'getDBName' undefined; assuming extern returning int
D:\VC\test\test.c(28) : warning C4047: '=' : 'char *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int '
D:\VC\test\test.c(89) : warning C4013: 'getStmtError' undefined; assuming extern returning int

test.obj - 0 error(s), 3 warning(s)

When I built the exe, I got this errors:

test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _getDBName
test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _getStmtError
Debug/test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

printf("DBexecute failure : %s\n",getStmtError(fstmt));    

lose that line, i can not find that function in my files, it gets error expaination after an error, and

DATABASE_NAME = getDBName();

lose that too, it in open

nither changes will effect the code
 
i dont know how to do DSN-Less connections, for that you may need to use CDAODatabase or CDatabase, these are MFC and miles away from C
