Hi,
i want to write an application using pure C++ code. Here i'hv to use
MS Access as Database.
So all database functionalities ( i.e
adding,retrieving,modifying,deleting etc... ) should reflect on this
application.
Any one can please help me out ,what should be the C++ code for my
application.
please help me as soon as possible.
This is not really an appropriate topic for this newsgroup. Topics for
comp.lang.c++ are the syntax and semantics of the C++ language itself,
and the C++ language does not deal with database connectivity.
That said, I can give you a brief answer. You can use ODBC, you can
use OLEDB, there are some MFC classes, you can one of the many
available data-bound CLR components if you are using Visual Studio
(start a Windows Forms application and explore the toolbox), you can
use one of the many available data-bound VCL components if you are
using C++ Builder.
Personally, I use SQLAPI++ (
http://sqlapi.com/) frequently, which is
not free, but is an incredibly straightforward and well-documented API
that supports a number of database back-ends, including MS Access.
You can also find a list of various APIs here:
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/C++/Class_Libraries/Database/
And by Googling for appropriate keywords (there is even an MFC code
example on the first page of results):

From your post, it sounds like you will need to read up on ORM
databases in general, MS Access, ODBC, and possibly a few other things
first.
If you have any additional questions, you should ask them on a more
appropriate newsgroup / forum / mailing list (e.g. the MSDN forums
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?SiteID=1 or the
appropriate place for whatever API you end up using).
