Chapter 1. Get in contact with your SQL Server

Example 1.1. Get in contact with your SQL Server

#define HAVE_SSTREAM 1
#include <hk_classes.h>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
 hk_drivermanager* mydrivermanager = new hk_drivermanager();
 if (mydrivermanager==NULL) {cout <<"error creating mydrivermanager"<<endl;exit(1);}
 hk_connection* myconnection = mydrivermanager->new_connection();
 if (myconnection==NULL) {cout <<"error creating myconnection"<<endl;exit(1);}
 myconnection->connect();
 delete mydrivermanager;
}

This is the shortest hk_classes program. First create a object instance of hk_drivermanager(). It handles the databasedriver management.

To connect to a SQL server you need a instance of hk_connection. By creating it, the wished database driver will be selected. When you connect with the "connect()"-command the password and some other information will be asked.

Nothing really visible happens here.To get in contact with your data just see the next chapters.
