# C++ Wrapper for ODBC



[![REUSE status](https://api.reuse.software/badge/github.com/SAP/odbc-cpp-wrapper)](https://api.reuse.software/info/github.com/SAP/odbc-cpp-wrapper)



odbc-cpp-wrapper is an object-oriented C++-wrapper of the ODBC API. It takes

care of

 - managing the lifetime of ODBC resources,

 - allocating and managing resources needed for ODBC operations and

 - converting ODBC errors to exceptions and throwing them.



The odbc-cpp-wrapper API attempts to make usage of ODBC as simple as possible.

The API was designed to make wrong usage almost impossible and to ensure proper

object lifetime management.



odbc-cpp-wrapper was originally developed for exchanging spatial data with

databases. It focuses on batch operations of variable-sized data, which is not

very well supported by other ODBC wrappers.



## Requirements



To build odbc-cpp-wrapper you need

 - A C++-11-standard-compliant compiler

 - [The Git command line client](https://git-scm.com/)

 - [CMake 3.12 or newer](https://cmake.org/)



On Linux platforms you additionally need

 - [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/)



To generate the API's documentation, you need

 - [Doxygen 1.8.0 or later](http://www.doxygen.nl/)



## Building and Installation



### Linux



- Clone the repository:

    ```

    git clone https://github.com/SAP/odbc-cpp-wrapper.git

    ```



- Create a build directory and change to it:

    ```

    mkdir odbc-cpp-wrapper/build && cd odbc-cpp-wrapper/build

    ```



- Create the makefiles with CMake:

    ```

    cmake ..

    ```



- Build the library:

    ```

    make -j 

    ```



    The build will create a shared library `libodbccpp.so` and a static library `libodbccpp_static.a`.



- To build the documentation (optional):

    ```

    make doc

    ```



    The mainpage of the documentation can be found at `doc/html/index.html`.



- Install the library:

    ```

    sudo make install

    ```



    This will install the library and header files. CMake will install them to `usr/local/lib` and `usr/local/include` by default. If you prefer different locations, you can set CMake's install prefix to a different path. See

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.html for details.



### Windows



- Clone the repository:

    ```

    git clone https://github.com/SAP/odbc-cpp-wrapper.git

    ```



- Create a build directory and change to it:

    ```

    mkdir odbc-cpp-wrapper\build && cd odbc-cpp-wrapper\build

    ```



#### Visual Studio 2015 and later



- Generate a Visual Studio solution

    ```

    cmake ..

    ```



    You can then open the `odbccpp.sln` file and build the desired targets in Visual Studio.



#### MSBuild (nmake)



- Start the Visual Studio Native Tools Command Prompt for the desired target and change the directory to the build directory. Create the makefiles for nmake:

    ```

    cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..

    ```



    > Optionally you can use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to define if you'd like to build a Debug or Release build. See

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.html for details.



- Build the library:

    ```

    nmake

    ```



    The build will create a dynamic link library `odbccpp.dll` and a static library `odbccpp_static.lib`.



- Build the documentation (optional):

    ```

    nmake doc

    ```



    The mainpage of the documentation can be found at `doc\html\index.html`.



- Install the library (optional):

    ```

    nmake install

    ```



    This will install the library and header files. CMake will install them to `C:\Program Files\odbccpp` by default. If you prefer a different location, you can set CMake's install prefix to a different path. See

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.html for details.



## Using the library



You can just link against the shared/dynamic or the static library. If you are linking against the static library, you have to additionally define `ODBC_STATIC` when compiling.



Usage of the library should be pretty straight-forward if you are familiar with ODBC and/or other database connectors.



### Example



The following code gives an example how working with odbc-cpp-wrapper looks like. It connects to a database, batch inserts two rows and executes a query.



```cpp

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 

#include 



int main()

{

    try

    {

        odbc::EnvironmentRef env = odbc::Environment::create();



        odbc::ConnectionRef conn = env->createConnection();

        conn->connect("DSN", "user", "pass");

        conn->setAutoCommit(false);



        odbc::PreparedStatementRef psInsert =

            conn->prepareStatement("INSERT INTO TAB (ID, DATA) VALUES (?, ?)");

        psInsert->setInt(1, 101);

        psInsert->setCString(2, "One hundred one");

        psInsert->addBatch();

        psInsert->setInt(1, 102);

        psInsert->setCString(2, "One hundred two");

        psInsert->addBatch();

        psInsert->executeBatch();

        conn->commit();



        odbc::PreparedStatementRef psSelect =

            conn->prepareStatement("SELECT ID, DATA FROM TAB WHERE ID > ?");

        psSelect->setInt(1, 100);

        odbc::ResultSetRef rs = psSelect->executeQuery();

        while (rs->next())

        {

            std::cout << rs->getInt(1) << ", " << rs->getString(2) << std::endl;

        }

    }

    catch (const odbc::Exception& e)

    {

        std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl;

    }

}

```
