Connect C++ application to SQLServer

[Giannakakis Kostas]

How can I connect a (unmanaged) C++ Win32 application to SQL Server? This must preferably be a console application - no MFC or ATL. Is this possible?

[Nemanja Trifunovic]

Sure. You can use either ODBC or OLEDB for that purpose. I would recommend looking into the SOCI Library[^]

With ODBC. There are [many examples](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/#Database - ODBC) here at CodeProject. Cheers.
