CppCrate

Introduction

CppCrate is a C++ interface for Crate http://crate.io. It supports normal SQL based queries – including statements with parameter substitution and bulk operations – and provides an interface to manage blob data.

Version Notice

CppCrate is in a very early development phase so there are no API guaranties currently. The API may change with any release.

API Documentation

Using CppCrate is straight forward: Create a client, connect to a node and make your request:

CppCrate::Client client;
if (client.connect("localhost:4200")) {
  CppCrate::Result result = client.exec("SELECT id, name FROM players");
  if (result) {
    for (int i = 0, total = result.recordSize(); i < total; ++i) {
      CppCrate::Record record = result.record(i);
      std::cout << "Result " << (i+1) << ": " 
                << record.value("name").asString()
                << " (" << record.value("id").asString() << ")\n";
    }
  }
}

Building CppCrate

CppCrate uses CMake and requires that CURL is available. Anything else is standard:

1. Clone the repository
2. Run CMake
3. Run make

For CMake CppCrate provides these options:

• ENABLE_BLOB_SUPPORT If enabled, CppCrate also provides an interface to deal with BLOB data.
• ENABLE_CPP11_SUPPORT If enabled, CppCrate uses C++11 features to improve performance. This requires a C++11 compatible compiler of course.
