Extract data from database
-
You can also use MFC template class CArray if you've ever tried your hands on templates. All I can assure you is that its not that difficult at all. Gurmeet

Using a CArray (or STL vector) is far easier than trying to get the data from a database. There will be examples aplenty on codeproject However, if you really want to use a database, what database do you have - MS Access? You don't say whether you're using MFC or just doing straight C++. If MFC then probably the easiest method is to use the DAO classes. Though this might be an old-fashioned way of going about it these days. You could use ADO but, if I recall, MFC does not have native ADO classes - though it's still possible to use it. the point is that these methods are all somewhat more elaborate than using a database.

Yes there is. Using the
newoperator. At run-time, find out the number of records, and then allocate an array long enough to hold values you want to retrieve. For example, assuming that you've 50 records, the code will look like this:LONG lRecCount = 50; // you won't hardcode this, but get it at run-time from database
double *pdblValues = new double[lRecCount + 1];
for(LONG i = 0; i < lRecCount; i++)
pdblValues[i] = collect value from the field here;One more thing, don't forget to
delete[] pdblValueafter you are finished with it. Hope that helps, Gurmeet

i am using MFC but don't have to show the values out, just need to store into array and calculate an end result we i want to acheive. so using CArray is the only solution and easiest?
dreamerzz wrote: so using CArray is the only solution... No, of course not. It's just one of many implementations. From what information you've provided, it sounds like you simply need to store the numbers in a text file. Then you could process them with something like:
CStdioFile file("", CFile::modeRead);
CString strLine;
int nSum = 0,
nLineCount = 0;while (file.ReadString(strLine) != FALSE)
{
nSum += atoi(strLine);
nLineCount++;
}TRACE("The sum is %d\nThe average is %f\n", nSum, (double) nSum / nLineCount);

DAMAGE: after Client block (#74) at 0x00432C50 i have tried a lot of other methods, when i compile it, there is no error but when i wan to build, it show me this dialog box
dreamerzz wrote: when i compile it, there is no error but when i wan to build, it show me this dialog box Are you differentiating between a compile and a build? If so, I can only assume that you mean build to be both a compile and a link. Yes?

Yes, using the
CDatabaseandCRecordsetclasses.

sorry for the confusion. There is a build and execute. When i build, there is no error and no warning. but when i execute, it show me the dialog box
Have you single-stepped through the code to see which is the offending statement? Up until you know the statement in question, we can't be of much help.

ok. I think this is also the very last ans i would get. Although i don't really know how to go abt it. but still thanks for all the help that u have given.. thanks.

Once you go through those steps, not just glancing over them, you'll have a working example.

Hi, I have tried out the coding that you have given me. but i dun seems to get the results also.. Anyway, thanks for the help given.
Can you please provide us with some code of how you are doing this. It may be that you are doing something wrong in your code. Gurmeet
