Ok, I stop worry about that for the moment.

hmm, no I would only have one instance of the class....I was aiming for capsulate away all the proC code away and be able to have methods like this:

//at the beginning of the program
myDatabase->connect()

//will execute a select statement fetching all employees for a specific departmet
myDatabase->fetchEmployee( departNo)

//now get the first of the employees (which are stored in some internal vector in the class)
myEmp = myDatabase->getFirstEmployee()

//at the end
myDatabase->disconnect()

Thinking about it, I am not sure if there will be a huge advantage compared to having global functions, but the possiblity to have information stored in a class would be nice, but..hm...I have to think about it a bit :)
I mean, basically I can create my class and make only this class use the functions.. Received on Fri Jun 27 2003 - 03:25:20 CDT
