1.1 Definition

Thank you for choosing DBTools.h++, Rogue Wave's C++ interface to relational databases. DBTools.h++ is a complete library of foundation classes that encapsulate SQL 92 Data Manipulation Language (DML) and Data Definition Language (DDL) constructs. With DBTools.h++, you can use familiar C++ syntax to establish connections to a database, to perform queries, to join tables, and to insert, delete, and update data.

DBTools.h++ is a two-tier library. Its core library provides a consistent C++ programming interface, while its individual access libraries contain implementation classes specific to your connected databases. Access library classes are used only by the core library; you interact only with the interfaces of the core library classes. This design lets you write an application once, and reuse it with different databases simply by changing access libraries.

The DBTools.h++ access libraries provide native connectivity to the Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL Server, DB2, and Informix databases, and general connectivity through ODBC. DBTools.h++ is well-suited to large, complex development projects involving these heterogeneous databases in distributed environments.
