i am currently trying to connect sql server 2000 to c++ in solaris 5.8

The problem is i think that some of the librarires like -lsql and header files like sql.h and sqlext.h are missing. i have searched them in evey possible location and directories in my comp.

1)can any body tell me where i can fine these libraries and header files.?
2)which librariy is needed to connect the c++ program to sql server?

as far as i know, sql server 2000 only runs on windows boxes ... i don't think you'll find the files and libraries you are looking for unless microsoft has a version for solaris ...

however, there are perl modules that let you connect to databases --- you might want to check them out as reference or as another option ...

... you could also check with the vendor of your c++ compiler to see if those files (or something similar) are included ...

As the previous poster stated, I don't believe there is any default support for connectivity from Sun's C++ compiler to SQL Server. There is a product called SQLAPI++ that seems to try to fill that gap. I have no experience using it, but given that fact that evaluation is free and the product itself is only $299, it is worth a look.

Cheers,

Keith
