OTL 4.0, Example 105 (OTL/ODBC and MS SQL Server's GUIDs)

Example 105 (OTL/ODBC and MS SQL Server's GUIDs)

This example demonstrates how OTL/ODBC works with MS SQL Server's GUIDs. Briefly, GUIDs get mapped to C++ null terminated strings on both input and output. GUIDs are supported only by MS SQL Server 7.x and MS SQL Server 2000.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>

#define OTL_ODBC // Compile OTL 4.0/ODBC
#include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file

otl_connect db; // connect object

// insert rows into table

 otl_stream o(5, // buffer size

    "create table test_tab2(f1 int, f2 uniqueidentifier)"
    );  // create table


  insert(); // insert records into table
  select(); // select records from test_tab and insert them into test_tab2

 }

 catch(otl_exception& p){ // intercept OTL exceptions
  cerr<<p.msg<<endl; // print out error message
  cerr<<p.stm_text<<endl; // print out SQL that caused the error
  cerr<<p.sqlstate<<endl; // print out SQLSTATE message

Output

The actual GUID values will be different on each run of this example.

f1=1, f2=15B6CB56-F9CD-11D4-A633-86FF6E6A224E
