Re: Running a SQL source file from API

Why not just use fstream?

Ive been coding MySQL++ for two days, (Thanks to all, managed to get it
compiling without linker errors yesterday) But its something along the
lines of....

#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream>
/*add mysql++ junk*/

ifstream infile;
infile.open(/*Filename goes here as a char * */);

if( !infile ) {
  /*panic, because you cant open your file*/
  }

char buff[2000]; std::string code = "";
infile.getline(buff, sizeof(buff));
while( !infile.eof() ) {
  code = code + buff;
  code = code + " "; //as getline gets rid of \n (newline), which will
leave some words without gaps, and screw things up
  infile.getline(buff, sizeof(buff));
}

infile.close();

//then just open your connection, and pass the file over.

  Connection con("database","/*host address goes
here*/","user","password"); 
  Query query = con.query();
  query << code.c_str(); //or  you might be able to get away with query
<< code;

I havnt stuck that in to a compiler, so it will certainly need some
tweaking, and you might want to use namespaces, and lose the .h of
fstream.h

Im a mysqp++ newbie too, so that might not be the best way of going
about it....

Hi,

How can I execute the contents of a SQL file using the API? I am
looking for the equivalent of typing "source file.sql;" from the mysql
command prompt.

Thanks.
