having issues inserting data in Mysql from C++ in Linux - c++

Question

Can anyone help me get through just inserting a record with C++ in Linux using the #include<mysql.h> , i have tried almost everything possible , it works just fine making the columns static but cannot pass variables to them at all , even with a cin statement. tried using cin.get(char &ch): and also cin >> varname, why is this so difficult. ? what am i missing.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
// For MySQL Connection
#include <mysql.h>
using namespace std;
int trollyid = 88232;
// Defining Constant Variables Future Revisions with be with reading a json File
#define SERVER "localhost"
#define USER "root"
#define PASSWORD "xxxxx"
#define DATABASE "txxxx"
int main()
{
MYSQL *connect;
connect = mysql_init(NULL);
auto time = std::time(nullptr);
int trollyid = 88232;
if (!connect)
{
cout << "Mysql Initialization Failed";
// Write XML log for failure
return 1;
}
connect = mysql_real_connect(connect, SERVER, USER, PASSWORD, DATABASE, 0,NULL,0);
if (connect)
{
cout << "Connection Succeeded\n";
}
else
{
cout << "Connection Failed\n";
}
MYSQL_RES *res_set;
MYSQL_ROW row;
// MySQL query with your query
// -- Need to pass variables into the two field '665566', 'GOOD')
mysql_query (connect,"INSERT INTO `Datalog` (`id`, `datecol`, `timecol`, `trolleyid`,
`status`) VALUES (NULL, NOW(), NOW(), '665566', 'GOOD')");
// update: table Datalog with data VALUES (NULL, NOW(), NOW(), '4444444', 'GOOD')");
res_set=mysql_store_result(connect);
// --------------Just showing tables on testing (Move
along)---------------------------------
// unsigned int numrows = mysql_num_rows(res_set);
// cout << " Tables in " << DATABASE << " database " << endl;
// while (((row=mysql_fetch_row(res_set)) !=NULL))
// {
// cout << row[i] << endl;
//}
std::cout
// ISO 8601: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S, e.g. 2017-07-31 00:42:00+0200.
<< std::put_time(std::gmtime(&time), "%H:%M:%S") << '\n'
// %m/%d/%y, e.g. 07/31/17
<< std::put_time(std::gmtime(&time), "%D");
mysql_close (connect);
return 0;
}
// ** EXAMPLE **
// TEST INPUT to table:
char status[20];
cin >> nValue;
cin >> status;
cin.getline(status, sizeof(name)); //taking string input
// MySQL query with your query
mysql_query (connect,"INSERT INTO `Datalog` (`id`, `datecol`, `timecol`, `trolleyid`, `status`) VALUES (NULL, NOW(), NOW(), 'nValue', 'status')");
so here is the way it works now, can i put these back into an array ?
