This is a "Hello World" example that shows how to use ODB to perform basic
database operations, such as making objects persistent, loading, updating
and deleting persistent objects, as well as querying the database for
objects matching a certain criteria.
The example consists of the following files:
person.hxx
Header file defining the 'person' persistent class.
person-odb.hxx
person-odb.ixx
person-odb.cxx
person.sql
The first three files contain the database support code and the last file
contains the database schema for the person.hxx header.
These files are generated by the ODB compiler from person.hxx using the
following command line:
odb -d <database> --generate-query --generate-schema person.hxx
Where <database> stands for the database system we are using, for example,
'mysql'.
database.hxx
Contains the create_database() function which instantiates the concrete
database class corresponding to the database system we are using.
driver.cxx
Driver for the example. It includes the person.hxx and person-odb.hxx
headers to gain access to the 'person' class and the database support
code for this class. It also includes database.hxx for the
create_database() function declaration.
In main() the driver first calls create_database() to obtain the database
instance. Then it executes a number of database transactions on persistent
objects.
To run the example we first need to create the database schema. Using MySQL
as an example, this can be achieved with the following command:
mysql --user=odb_test --database=odb_test < person.sql
Here we use 'odb_test' as the database login and also 'odb_test' as the
database name.
Once the database schema is ready, we can run the example (using MySQL as
the database):
./driver --user odb_test --database odb_test
