SQL Databases ...
Greetings xD this is my first post n i think it's a kind of 'dizzy' question ..
Well the main problem is with sql databases ...
More specific :
> I created a database on an SQL Server ( MSSQL ) , meaning i created tables,diagramms etc ....
>So I want now to make an application that will initialize an sql connection BUT without having the sql server in an other machine ..
--Conclusion ...
>I searched around the internet n didn't find anything ..
If someone can help me with these questions , or just show me the road to read from i would be very thankfull ...
1-How i can connect to sql databases with pure c++ code
2-How i can execute sql queries from a DB without having the sql server installed??
Sry for my strange english xD it's not my mother language ....

The traditional way to connect to SQL Server is thru ODBC. There are new protocols, but ODBC remains supported.
If you're finding ODBC a headache, you can check out SQLAPI+, a C++ library that wraps a number of common databases.
You don't execute SQL. The database executes it. It's the way you instruct the database.

A development environment usually has some support of databases treating.
In Borland C++ there are components ADOConnection, ADOTable (DBConnection, DBTable), TDataSource, TDataSet and others that allow you to work with a database, either local or remote.

Thank you for your replies , but this do not help me ...
By the way I use embarcadero rad studio environment and i had used these components
>adoconnections
>datasources
etc ....
My question was on how to connect to database with PURE c++ code ...
Sql Api is remain unregister cuz u have to pay for it and after all is not portable ( not in the standards of libraries )
There are some .h files provided in my IDE such as sql.h bla bla ....
But really i didnt find code on how to handle these headers ....
Any other suggestions ?

PURE C++ doesn't support databases inherently. You need some libraries for this. So pay for extensions or use opensource libraries as wxWidgets. Moreover wxWidgets is cross-platform.
