mfsql is a simple way to access and use SQLite/MariaDB/PostgreSQL databases via c++ interface
mfsql is distributed under the BSD 3-Clause License, see copying for details

To use
Create an object for the type of database you need
e.g.

  #include <mfsql.h>

  mfsql::mfsqlite DBobject;
  mfsql::mfmariadb DBobject;
  mfsql::mfpostgre DBobject;

use the appropriate open function
query the database

Interface

  // the open functions throw a mfsql::mfdberror on failure
  void mfsqlite::open(const std::string& path_dbname);
  void mfmariadb::open(const std::string& dbname_server, const std::string& DBname, const std::string& DBuser, const std::string& DBpassw, short int port = 3306 /* 3306 --> mysql standard port number */);
  void mfpostgre::open(const std::string& dbname_server, const std::string& DBname, const std::string& DBuser, const std::string& DBpassw, short int port = 5432 /* 5432 --> postgre standard port number */);

  // close database connection and free internal library memory - object can be re-used with further open()'s
  int close();

  // run a sql statement
  bool query(const std::string& sql_statement, std::string& errmsg, int& errorcode);

  // get the column names for a table
  int tablefieldnames(const std::string& tablename, std::vector<std::string>& fieldnames, std::string& errmsg);
  
  // get last error info
  int error(std::string& errmsg);
  
  // get underlying database pointer
  // each database has its own pointer type 
  //  SQLite     --> sqlite3*
  //  MariaDB    --> MYSQL*
  //  PostgreSQL --> PGconn*
  sqlite3* || MYSQL* || PGconn*
     getdb() const;

EXAMPLE

connect to a database and make a query

#include <iostream>
#include <mfsql.h>

int main() {
  mfsql::mfsqlite DB;

  try {
    DB.open("sqlite_testdb.db");
  }
  catch (mfsql::mfdberror err) {
    std::cerr << err.what() << std::endl;
    return 0;
  }

  int rc(0);
  std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > data;
  std::string err_msg;

  // just display all asset table data
  std::string sql("select * from asset;");
  if(DB.query(sql, err_msg, rc)) {
    DB.getquerydata(data);
    for(std::vector<std::vector<std::string> >::iterator it = data.begin(); it != data.end(); ++it) {
      for(std::vector<std::string>::iterator yt = it->begin(); yt != it->end(); ++yt) {
        std::cout << "'" << *yt << "' ";
      }
      std::cout << "\n";
    }
  }
  else
    std::cerr << "SQL error:" << rc << "  error string:" << err_msg << "\n";

  return 0;
}
