I'm a student and wanting to know if the syntax for C++ insert/update/delete statements for adding records to a table is the same or similar to statements in SQL?
I've searched and can't really find a difinitive answer for C++.
ie.
insert into tableName values whatever
delete from tableName values where columnName = "whatever"
Well do you want the SQL syntax or do you want to know how to do it in C++ because you need separate libraries to do things like that in C++ (If I had to recommend one I'd suggest SQLite)
SQL and C++ are two completely different language.
C++ is a (real) programming language. While SQL is a query language intended to interpreted by a RDBMS.
In fact, the entire MySQL is written in C++ [1].
What you can do is perhaps call the SQL queries from a C++ program; that will require you to mess up with few SQL libraries (search the web to find a apt one).
