Because mySQL is totally Microsoft SQL Server ;-)

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the bottom of carmellabanker's post a little suspicious, given the use of C++, the question about how to connect to an outdated database, and the single post count?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.

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, [url=http://google.ca]Google, returned [url=http://www.sqlapi.com/]this to me.
