FairCom ODBC

Introductory Tutorial

drivers\<Your-API-Folder>\tutorials\ODBCTutorial1.c

This tutorial will take you through the basic use of the FairCom DB SQL ODBC Interface.

As with all other examples in the c-tree tutorial series, this tutorial simplifies the creation and use of a database into four simple steps: Initialize(), Define(), Manage(), and You’re Done() !

Tutorial #1: Introductory - Simple Single Table

We wanted to keep this program as simple as possible. This program does the following:

Initialize() - Connects to the FairCom Database Engine.
Define() - Defines and creates a "customer master" (custmast) table/file.
Manage() - Adds a few rows/records; Reads the rows/records back from the database; displays the column/field content; and then deletes the rows/records.
Done() - Disconnects from FairCom Database Engine.

Note our simple Main() function:

* main()

* The main() function implements the concept of "init, define, manage

* and you're done..."

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

Initialize();

Define();

Manage();

Done();

printf("\nPress <ENTER> key to exit . . .\n");

getchar();
