What is the best way (in terms of efficiency and ease) to work with c++ and database? I've been looking around and mysql++ seems pretty neat but I don't have a clear picture of the main concept.
Using ms access for creating a databse and then writing a program in c++ to work with it later sounds like a good idea?
What do I need to make the connection happen?
I've had good luck with the 'Official' MySQL C++ connector API...although the documentation is severely lacking. The only way that I've found to be able to tell which methods can throw was to go over the actual source. I also haven't been able to get the connector to compile in 64-bit.
