Re-directing output of C code as input to MySQL server

Question

I want to compile a C program related to databases in Windows. I have installed MySQL.

What I actually want to do is re-direct the output of my C code as an input command for my database.

I have done this thing in Ubuntu having followed the below given link:

• Connecting to MySQL through C++

PS Does it require for me to compile the code in Command Prompt (because that's how I access the MySQL server).

How do I do it?

Answer 1

No - you can compile the code anyhow.

If you want to redirect output, it's easiest to make the program a console application (which can be compiled from the IDE or from the command line).

Then you pipe the output of the program to the mysql command line client.
