Hi

I am new to SQL server and ODBC. I am trying to retrieve SQL server database
using VC++ (using VS.net). I am using SQLConnect to connect to the SQL
server. My code contains

SQLAllocEnv(&henv);
SQLAllocConnect(henv,&hdbc);
rc=SQLConnect(hdbc,chr_ds_name,SQL_NTS,NULL,0,NULL,0);

I have included the following files

#include <windows.h>
#include <sql.h>
#include <sqlext.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <mbstring.h>

but the problem is that its giving linker error
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SQLAllocStmt@8 referenced in
function "public: void __thiscall CDataAccess::sqlconn(void)"
(?sqlconn@CDataAccess@@QAEXXZ)

I guess I am missing some file that it should be linked to. Any help would

Hi,
I understand that you encountered the link error when you built your VC++
codes which used ODBC API to acces SQL Server database.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

This is a link error, so I would like to confirm with you whether or not
you import the odbc32.lib into your project.
If not, please right click your project in Solution Explorer, click
Properties, in the property window, expand Linker, select Additional
Dependencies, and input the odbc32.lib (C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Lib) to the field. If you directly input odbc32.lib
without specifying the folder path, please ensure that the library folder
path has been added into the VC++ Directories. Select
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories -> Library files.

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel
free to let me know. Have a good day!

Best regards,
Charles Wang

Thanks Charles. The suggestion worked. odbc32.lib must be included.
