Because mySQL is totally Microsoft SQL Server Wink

if you're going to be using Microsoft SQL Server, why not also use Visual Studio Express (free) and get a better development environment too? For information on how to connect to MS SQL Server I'd suggest checking out MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/bb188199)

Is it just me that finds the three identical links at the bottom of carmellabanker's post a little suspicious, given the use of C++, the question about how to connect to an outdated database, and the single post count?

This OP looks like a spammer to me.

You could be correct, but on the off chance it's a legit question (after all, plenty of people use old software) I'm just going to remove those links.

well thee binary files are always main source files which is what i always use when i want to connect something. What i did for myself is i got the .bin file of the sql that i used converted the thing into text and morphed it with the .dll file then did a little file i/o of the new file that i created onto my c++ project and vola! If you still dont understand and have like teamviewer or something please pm me and i can help you like that.

To my knowledge (not as vast or deep as I'd like) C++ has no native way to support this. Hence you must import a library. Quick search through my good friend, Google, returned this to me.
