Introduction

Let's see:

• You know C++?
• You know some SQL?
• You want to use SQL in your C++ program?
• You think C++ and SQL should play well together?
• You know which tables you want to use in a database?
• You can cope with a few template error messages in case something is wrong?

You have come to the right place!

sqlpp11 offers you to code SQL in C++ almost naturally. You can use tables, columns and functions. Everything has strong types which allow the compiler to help you a lot. At compile time, it will tell about most of those pesky oversight errors you can make (typos, comparing apples with oranges, forgetting tables in a select statement, etc). And it does not stop at query construction. Results have ranges, and strongly typed members, so that you can browse through results in a type-safe manner, worthy of modern C++.

The following pages will tell you how to use it:

• Database Connectors
• Tables
• Insert
• Select <- You might want to read this first as an appetizer
• Update
• Remove
• Functions
• Prepared Statements
• Transactions
• Thread Safety
• NULL
• Connection Pools
• New Features
