UltraLite User's Guide
Tutorial: Build an Application Using Embedded SQL
The following sample program establishes a connection with the UltraLite CustDB sample database and executes a select query. Copy the following code into a new file and save it as sample.sqc in your c:\esqltutorial directory, or retype the material into a file.
You can also find this file as Samples\UltraLite\ESQLTutorial\sample.sqc.
#include <stdio.h>
EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA;
main()
{
/* Declare fields */
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
long pid=1;
long cost;
char pname[31];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
/* Before working with data*/
db_init(&sqlca);
/* Connect to database */
EXEC SQL CONNECT "DBA" IDENTIFIED BY "SQL";
/* Fill table with data first */
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO ULProduct(
prod_id, price, prod_name)
VALUES (1, 400, '4x8 Drywall x100');
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO ULProduct (
prod_id, price, prod_name)
VALUES (2, 3000, '8''2x4 Studs x1000');
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
/* Fetch row from database */
EXEC SQL SELECT price, prod_name
INTO :cost, :pname
FROM ULProduct
WHERE prod_id= :pid;
/* Error handling. If the row does not exist,
or if an error occurs, -1 is returned */
if((SQLCODE==SQLE_NOTFOUND)||(SQLCODE<0)) {
return(-1);
}
/* Print query results */
printf("Product id: %ld Price: %ld Product name: %s",
pid, cost, pname);
/* Preparing to exit:
rollback any outstanding changes and disconnect */
EXEC SQL ROLLBACK;
EXEC SQL DISCONNECT;
db_fini(&sqlca);
return(0);
}TipYou can configure Visual C++ to provide syntax highlighting for .sqc files, by adding ;sqc to the list of file extensions in the following registry location:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DevStudio\6.0\ Text Editor\Tabs\Language Settings\C/C++\FileExtensions |
