Using ODBC to connect to SQL SERVER 2008

Question

I\'m on a W32 machine trying to get a connection with a DB. For that purpose, I tried starting testing an example program:

#include 
#include         


        

Answer 1

ordering header files does not matter. Just ensure that your project contains in its properties the following include directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include

where are found (a priori):

windows.h
sqlext.h
sqltypes.h
sql.h

This suffices in making your commands recognized and compile without any problem.

Answer 2

just change include declarations like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <sqltypes.h>
#include <sqlext.h>

Answer 3

I have found with stdafx.h header that the include order should be instead:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <sqlext.h>
#include <sqltypes.h>
#include <sql.h>
