How to setup wxDatabase library with wxwidgets app

[sly_chandan]

Hi,
I am a newbie in wxWidgets apps and have installed the wxwidgets 3.0.2 and code blocks 13.12 successfully.

I don't know how to setup the wxDatabase library with wxWidgets app.

Please tell me how to install wxDatabase.

Thanks.

wxWidgets itself has no database component in wx 3.x, do you mean wxDatabaseLayer? Its last supported wxWidgets version is 2.6, so it might require some "fiddling" to make it work under wx 3.x.

Which database do you want to connect to?

I would like to use odbc with sql.

Right now there is no wxWidgets database library that i could recommend. I think you should look into generic, non-wxWidgets libraries which should work well enough with wxWidgets.

Like SOCI or nanodbc, i'm sure there are more.

Like I said I am new to wxwidgets, so I don't know what I should be doing.

I can follow a step by step approach if you can guide me using any database library that I could use with CodeBlocks.

Thanks.

Sorry, i don't use CodeBlocks and i've never used any of the libraries i mentioned. But this is neither CodeBlocks or wxWidgets specific, try looking for usage instructions of the respective library.

Which IDE do I use for wxwidgets then?

Please tell me how to use the database layer in code blocks.
I am able to install CodeBlocks 13.12.
