Chapter 7. Delete a row

Also not a great task. Goto the row you wish to delete and call hk_datasource::delete_actualrow()

Example 7.1. Delete a row

#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("mysql");
   if (myconnection==NULL) {cout <<"error creating myconnection"<<endl;exit(1);}
   myconnection->set_host("localhost");
   myconnection->set_user("root");
   myconnection->set_password("mypasswd");
   myconnection->connect();

   hk_database* mydatabase=myconnection->new_database("exampledb");
   if (mydatabase==NULL) {cout <<"error creating mydatabase"<<endl;exit(1);}
   hk_datasource* mydatasource= mydatabase->new_table("authors");
   if (mydatasource==NULL) {cout <<"error creating mydatasource"<<endl;exit(1);}
   mydatasource->enable();

   hk_column* mycolumn = mydatasource->column_by_name("name");
   if (mycolumn==NULL) {cout <<"error getting column"<<endl;exit(1);}

   mydatasource->goto_row(3);
   mydatasource->delete_actualrow();


   delete mydrivermanager;
}

When you try this out you will be asked if you really want to delete the data. If this question is disturbing you switch it off. Use the function hk_class::set_showpedantic(false); for this.
