OTL 4.0, Example 280 (otl_long_string container and a TEXT column)

This example demonstrates simple INSERT/SELECT with otl_long_string container and a TEXT column.

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <stdio.h>

#define OTL_ODBC // Compile OTL 4.0/ODBC
// #define OTL_ODBC_UNIX // uncomment this line if UnixODBC is used
#include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file

otl_connect db; // connect object

void insert(void)
// insert rows into table
{ 

 otl_long_string f2(7000); // define long string variable
 db.set_max_long_size(7000); // set maximum long string size for connect object

 otl_stream 
   o(1, // buffer size needs to be set to 1
     "insert into test_tab values(:f1<int>,:f2<varchar_long>)", 
        // INSERT statement
      db // connect object
     );

 for(int i=1;i<=10;++i){

   f2[j]='*';

 }
}

void select(void)
{ 
 otl_long_string f2(7000); // define long string variable
 db.set_max_long_size(7000); // set maximum long string size for connect object

 otl_stream i(1, // buffer size needs to be set to 1 in case of TEXT columns
              "select * from test_tab",
                 // SELECT statement
              db // connect object

}

int main()

 try{

  db.rlogon("scott/tiger@sqlite");

  otl_cursor::direct_exec
   (
    db,

  otl_cursor::direct_exec

  select(); // select records from table

 }

 catch(otl_exception& p){ // intercept OTL exceptions
  cerr<<p.msg<<endl; // print out error message
  cerr<<p.stm_text<<endl; // print out SQL that caused the error
  cerr<<p.sqlstate<<endl; // print out SQLSTATE message
  cerr<<p.var_info<<endl; // print out the variable that caused the error
 }

 db.logoff(); // disconnect from ODBC

 return 0;

}

Output

f1=1, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=2, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=3, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=4, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=5, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=6, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=7, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=8, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=9, f2=*?, len=5001
f1=10, f2=*?, len=5001
