This is a beta release of the MariaDB Connector/C++.

MariaDB Connector/C++ is released under version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser Public License.

Connector implements JDBC API with minimal extensions and minimal reductions of methods, that do not make sense in C++

To be able to use API, a program should include its definition in ConnCpp.h header

#include  <ConnCpp.h>

To obtain driver instance:

sql::Driver* driver= sql::mariadb::get_driver_instance();

To connect

sql::SQLString url("jdbc:mariadb:https://localhost:3306/db");
sql::Properties properties({{"user", "root"}, {"password", "someSecretWord"}});
std::unique_ptr<Connection> conn(driver->connect(url, properties));

Alternatively, connection object can be obtained via DriverManager class. In this case Driver object is not needed, and the connector throws exception, if connection could not be established for whatever reason. Please note, that for conencting via DriverManager only "jdbc:mariadb:https://" type of URL can be used.

sql::SQLString url("jdbc:mariadb:https://localhost:3306/db");
sql::Properties properties({{"user", "roor"}, {"password", "someSecretWord"}});
std::unique_ptr<Connection> conn(DriverManager::getConnection(url, properties));
// or
sql::SQLString url2("jdbc:mariadb:https://localhost:3306/db?user=root&password=someSecretWord");
std::unique_ptr<Connection> conn2(DriverManager::getConnection(url));
// or
std::unique_ptr<Connection> conn3(DriverManager::getConnection(url, "root", "someSecretWord"));

For URL syntax and options name you may find here but not all options will have effect at the moment. In particular, not supported are(list may be incomplete):

• keyStore
• keyStorePassword
• trustStore
• trustStorePassword
• keyStoreType
• trustStoreType
• allowPublicKeyRetrieval
• tlsSocketType

Additionally supported are(or added new aliases):

Properties is map of strings, and is another way to pass optional parameters.

In addition to Connector/J URL style and JDBC connect method, Connector/C++ supports following connect methods:

sql::SQLString user("root");
sql::SQLString pwd("root");
std::unique_ptr<sql::Connection> conn(driver->connect("tcp:https://localhost:3306/test", user, pwd));

and

sql::Properties properties;
properties["hostName"]= "127.0.0.1";
properties["userName"]= "root";
properties["password"]= "root";
std::unique_ptr<sql::Connection> conn(driver->connect(properties));

Host in former case can be defined as (tcp|unix|pipe):https://<host>[:port][/] Properties in the latter case are the same, as in the first variant of the connect method, plus additionally supported

• hostName
• pipe
• socket
• schema
• userName(alias for user)
• password

std::string variables can be passed, where parameters are expected to be sql::SQLString

For further use one may refer to JDBC specs.

Except Driver object, normally this is application's responsibility to delete objects returned by the connector.
