# Database Connectors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using sqlpp11 requires of three logical parts:
|
||
|
|
1. The actual tables of a database are represented structs, usually generated by sql2cpp. These structs contain compile-time information about each colum such as name and data type.
|
||
|
|
2. The core library provides SQL as embedded language for C++. It allows you to write SQL statements for those tables and analyse results in a compile-time checked manner.
|
||
|
|
3. The connector library that allows you to connect to an actual database, send queries and obtain results.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Three connector libraries are included in this repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* MySQL / MariaDB
|
||
|
|
* sqlite3 / SQLCipher
|
||
|
|
* PostgreSQL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to use other databases, you would have to write your own connector. Don't worry, it is not that hard.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
The api is documented [here](https://github.com/rbock/sqlpp11/blob/master/connector_api/connection.h).
