I will try not to get off on a ginormous tangent on my Borland C++ programming and experience. Considering most of the work i do is web related, so are my C++ programs. Drop down to the bottom of the page if you want to skip my examples and developers notes.
I am using Borland C++ builder 6. I mainly use my C++ to connect to MySql or MSSQL. Would you like to edit your Database from your desktop? That is my one of my favorite programs. It saves me time connecting from my desktop, making edits to my latest news, customer database, or even a web page that is from one of our dynamic websites.
Why use C++ to edit the MSSQL or MySql Database?:
Time. It saves time editing. I can start my C++ program on my desktop and have a record edited before my backend admin page would even begin to load and login to my administration area. Also, when i have it connect directly to a table or relational scheme, it is much faster than using a MySql client tool. Some of them are fast, but you still have to choose a table and possibly order the records a certain way before you begin to edit. So, once again, my program is a time saver, for me anyway.
Here is 1 of my favorite examples of how i use it: Consider this scenario.
1. You have a web page that has a dynamic flash movie in it which shows your Latest News. The flash movie might rely on a dynamic page that is performing a query to get the news and pass it into variables flash can use. That page queries the database, gets the news records, turns them into variables which flash reads, and walla, your latest news appears on whatever pages you have the flash movie on. The developer, like myself, creates a method in which his web client can edit their news or news page. Personally, my clients and i prefer my program on the desktop vs a backend admin page to change the news.
Installation: I have an installation program for my program, but it does require the user to make an ODBC connection for it at the present time.
Beta Test my C++ news editor for free: Anyone is welcome to try my program. At the present time, i have a beta area setup that allows a client to connect to my MySQL beta server and change the news and articles that will appear in a flash movie on a web page. All you will have to do is install my program and create a MSSQL or MySql ODBC for it for testing.
Keep it simple: If you want to be able to edit your news for a web page from your desktop with my C++ program, email me or call me.
Note: Your MSSQL or Mysql service provider or hosting company must allow a remote connection with a 3rd party remote client tool to your MySql Database. If they only allow local connections, it won't work.
Please use my contact page and send me an email if you are interested in saving time and want to try my program.
