UltraLite User's Guide
  Tutorial: Build an Application Using the C++ API

Lesson 3: Run the UltraLite generator

The UltraLite generator writes a C++ file and a header file that define an interface to the UltraLite database, as specified in the UltraLite database template.

To generate the UltraLite interface code

1. From a command prompt, change directory to your APITutorial directory.

2. Run the UltraLite generator with the following arguments (all on one line):

   ulgen -c "dsn=UltraLite 9.0 Sample" -t c++ 
   -u ProductPub -f ProductPubAPI

   The generator writes out the following files:

   • ProductPubAPI.hpp    This file contains prototypes for the generated API. You should inspect this file to determine the API you can use in your application .

   • ProductPubAPI.cpp    This file contains the interface source. You do not need to look at this file.

   • ProductPubAPI.h    This file contains internal definitions required by UltraLite. You do not need to look at this file.
