Hi,
sorry if i crosspost,but i hadn't noticed this forum section,which is more suited to my question.I'm writing an app with MS VC++ 6,using ADO (the oldest one,not ADO.NET) to connect to an Access database.Now iu would like to use a MySQL database instead.Is it possible?What should i change in my code?
I'm kinda confused,because i have found,in MySQL site,the C API for My SQL,but using that would force me to write lots of new code,instead i was thinking that,with ADO,a single change to the connection string would be enough:is that true?

Thank you,i think it will help me Big Grin | :-D

But i have a question,due to my ignorance about databases Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Reading the article i noticed that for a DSN-less connection there are many alternatives,depending on (i think) the database i would use.For a DSN connection,instead,i have the only ODBC DSN.
So my (newbie) questions are:is DSN a way to standardize connections to a database?Is it related to ODBC or are they two indipendent concepts?

Try giving Select top 1 for all the sub queries. This will avoid the error, but remember this is not a good solution. If sub query is returning more than one values, then that shows the failure of your database. May be the unique key you are referring in the sub query got repeated.

I presume that since you are asking on the SQL forum you are looking for database code. However, currently it would look like you are storing the passwords in clear text - That would be a bit of a security issue.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM login WHERE username=@UserName AND password=@Password

This will result in a zero if the user name and password combination does not exist. And a 1 if it does exist. Any other value indicates the data is corrupted.

How to help you with the entire code for your long story. First you pass the values to a stored procedure which checks the login details. That could be something like this.

CREATE PROCEDURE LoginCheck
(
    @LoginName varchar(50), @Password varchar(50), 
    @IsAuthenticated varchar(4) OUTPUT
)

AS

IF ( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM YourLoginTable WHERE LoginName = @LoginName And
Password = @Password ) = 0
BEGIN
    SET @IsAuthenticated = 'no'
END
Else
BEGIN
    SET @IsAuthenticated = 'yes'
END

Now check the output variable value in the page.

You know, it would be easier to just return the value in a SELECT statement and use ExecuteScalar() - especially given the level of ability of the OP.

Error in getting a date value from a table [modified]

Given the question that the OP (Original Poster) is asking it is clear that he is a beginner. That way, the answer should be accurate but reduce complexity. Passing data as output parameters in a stored procedure is quite a complex thing to do because of the amount of set up than needs to be done to achieve it.
