Unit 5 – Connecting C++ Applications to Databases

Connecting C++ Applications to Databases

Duration: 9 minutes

Introduction

To connect a C++ application to a database, we often use a database management library. In this exercise, we’ll use SQLite, a lightweight and embedded database, and interact with it using C++.

Setting Up SQLite1. Linux:

sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev


2. macOS (using Homebrew):

```plaintex
t
``bash
  brew install sqlite3


3. Windows:   Download the SQLite precompiled binaries from the [SQLite website](https://sqlite.org/download.html).

## Example: C++ Program with SQLite Database Interaction

Let's create a simple C++ program that connects to an SQLite database, performs basic operations, and displays the results.

## Conclusion

Remember, when dealing with real-world databases, always prioritize security and follow best practices for database interactions. Happy Coding!
